The first two are a couple beefy adult coastals. The last little guy just went through his first shed mere moments before the photo was taken... they don't get too much smaller... or brighter for that matter!

can be really under-rated I feel. The first two are F1 locale milks both from WC female. The last a week old neonate from the pair.

Hope you like'em.

Chris

Nice lookin' LTt Chris!
Those coastals are sooooo syspila.......
From around or in MD?

All's well Mike... lovin the lil' guys! Hope the same's for you up in the city.

Have a good one,

Just post a screamer hypo syspila and one up me! Wow what a knockout... As for the first it's a Bartlett line Calvert and yeah you're right... haha. The second is an F1 Burlington County, NJ. The shot gave no reference... so here are some others (not the greatest pics). Long somewhat more heavy-bodied milks... hmmmmn go figure. Anyway the 2nd pic is of a sibling to the Burlington which is pictured again last. There is yet another sibling here with nearly black head... pretty cool.

I'm going to say this since the cat has been in the bag for too darn long. If what I've been hearing is correct coastals may prove to be remnant populations of syspila. Another way of saying this is that syspila once extended eastward and has left genetic influence in the mid-Atlantic coastal plains

Tony,

Biogeography rocks, doesn't it?! Are we to expect lots of hatchling photos soon?

-Cole

that mitochondrial DNA evidence backs it up... it better... I have a thought that really is tightly hinged on that sole notion. LOL...

In any case I'm truly looking forward to some of the answers to be had so to speak. It's amazing how much 'intuitive' knowledge we may gain...

Where are those shots of your youngins? Would please help?

Chris

I put in a request to have an additional 2 hours added to each day. Rquest was denied, reason sited was that I'l likely waste it taking snake pictures! LOL

Will get on it soon.

Damn it, Jeff! Posting photos of animals like that makes everything I hatched out this year look like...

Awesome critter.

-Cole

Chris, I have always loved easterns and those are killer. Are you working with multiple locales?

Very cool Dave... glad to see another fan! I do work with a 'few' locales actually. It's actually pretty funny... hands down, as a group they're my favorites. Though I've been really quite lucky in the majority of the group I've got to work with...

Here are a few others... all MD locale and I plan on pairing the bottom two this upcoming season... Anyhow these would possibly be better described more accurately as an eastern milk/'temporalis' intergrade. Though I have a sibling to the bottom pair that's very obviously more eastern-influenced. Anyway I'm hooked on these guys... these lines especially are proving to be pretty variable and really cool.

Glad to you like'em... and glad to see your season is underway!

Chris

Chris, very nice. That pair you plan to breed next year is really outstanding. I'm sure you'll get some sweet hatchings from them. Maybe I need make sure I have a couple of empty tubs next summer! LOL

if all goes well I think I may be able to help you out there!

Chris

I like 'em Chris. They definitely have a little different look to them than the ones up here. What is the locale on them?

Joe

Thanks Joe... It's safe to say I like the look to yours!! Actually that monster female(?) you caught is quite a beautiful milk as well! I must say I'm really glad you've been following the locale route on them as well...
Keep up the good work with that little guy!

Chris

Awesome animal, Chris! I especially dig the neonate elapsoides and the adult F1 easterns. You're building one hell of a collection, buddy!

-Cole

Thanks Cole...

Appreciate the compliments on them... there will be more hatchling SK photos if you and Doug really like them... lol. Both of my current hatchlings took hopper tails unassisted tonight. I'm hoping the trend continues.
As for the eastens... I just can't get enough of them apparently as well. I'm just pretty lucky to have these particular snakes...
Hope you're having fun with all the newbies this year...

Talk to you soon man!

Awesome!, man!...........nice and healthy looking!

That's a cute little SK whipper-snapper on the bottom pic!
