Bought this young lady last fall from Troy Hibbits. She really lightened up early on and is looking very pretty in my eyes. Thought I'd share. Enjoy.

ALL of those are really nice animals, as well as great pics,....but I especially like your nice "Rosey" Rat(rosacea)from the upper keys!
I also had some sweet examples of locality rosacea many years back, ...I just wish I still had them today. Such a unique looking NATURAL variant, when most of the hobby is geared towards mainly selectively bred recessive mutations. Certainly not to say that many of those aren't stunning as well though...LOL!

Is that one from RZ's bloodline by any chance? They used to be seen more in the hobby some years ago than they are today.

Yep, that is correct, these are all RichZ line Upper Keys. I'll have to take pics of the other two one of these days. Thanks for the compliments. Yes, it is nice to work with some of the natural variation seen in normal corns without the morph. Though one could say Okeetees and bloodreds are just that!

Now that is nice !!
Could you be more specific on her locale?

I bought the parent pair of this snake from Troy earlier this year. I have nine eggs due to hatch in late June. The female is a small snake, so I guess this is the reason for the small clutch. Yours favors its mother much more than its father. Pretty snake. Both parents were caught in Polk Co., Tenn. This is near where North Carolina, Georgia, and Tennessee come together in the Southern Appalachains.

Beautiful snake. Never seen one from the Appalachians. Thanks for posting the pic. WK
