Nice clutch there! Well, the first and especially the fifth have a spotted thing going on with their patterns, so maybe keep those. Or not, it's up to you. Just a thought.

Joeycoco98 Aug 11, 2008 09:11 PM

I tend to liker the wider bands (should have taken side shots but oh well). I was liking the spotted thing. I thought it was interesting. I just may keep that one even though I should not keep any,already have 14 snakes too many. lol

I'd go for the exact same one's mentioned by the other poster as well. I would also keep a bunch of record pics of the other siblings, both parents, etc..., so you can show people just in case they might question their lineage, especially nowadays with all the mixing projects!

yea I have lots of pics of the parents, I only have the one pair and the only reason I bred her was because she had been holding "ova" for a couple of years. I just thought she was fat but Jason told me she needed to be bred. Sure enough the mom is thin and sleak looking. Thanks for the input.

Thanks for all the input, I really did not do them justice by taking pictures from directly above. Some of them have great patterns on their sides. Anyways, I think 10 is a definte keeper now I am just trying to decide between E1 and E5. I will try to get the sexed this weekend that could be the deciding factor between the last two.

Thanks again,
Miller
