Very cool, what I thought was really weird is that is looks like the head is divided right down the middle, half normal looking on one side and the other half weir bee, correct me if I am seeing that wrong in the picts, but thats the way it looks, very nice snake! Good luck with it.

what you are seeing. As soon as I can get some decent pics I will post. Normal coloration on one side, divided straight down the middle of the head, spider coloration on the other, pastel splotches up and down the body. I've never seen one divided down the center of the head like that, balls or other snakes. If anyone else has please shed some light on it.

Wow, then that is one freak of a snake!!!Congrats. That would be way cool if it was genetic and what ever the parents where moms face on one side dad's on the other, you could call it the "two faced gene" or the twist cone gene.
