a few locality Great Basins I hatched out last week.
The second one pictured here has some amazing contrast on it - a keeper for sure...
Theses are all litter mates.

Wow! Those babies are all really nice. Especially that one you pointed out. And damn! Poor female--those are some HUGE eggs! LOL.

HI Byron

Those are outstanding GBs. I like them Aaaaaaaaaalot.

Do you know where in LA co they are from? I don't think Basins cover much of LA co and those don't look like the ones I've seen in the NE corner. Very pretty by the way!

Very nice looking animals Byron.

See you in Anaheim? Come by and say hi.

Byron, those are beautiful. Really cool. Saw your pic of mom. Great that you got them to breed. I like the look of those snakes. they don't look like the other L.A. Co. deserticola I've encountered. I know there's quite a bit of variance in patterns in populations even relatively short distances from each other. Here are a couple of L.A. Co. Great Basins I found.

My other girl. Sent you a pm also.

The adults were collected less than a mile from each other in the extreme north east end of LA Co. The female has more pink / peach color than any other GB I've seen from that area.
The sire looks very much like the animals that reako45 and Nick posted.
These hatchlings came out more aberrant though..... It's not due to high incubation temps - I always incubate at the lower end of the range.
The female was gravid when collected two years ago and produced a clutch of six 'textbook' looking hatchlings. These look considerably different than the others did.

thanks again.
