These are all hets. The first pic is of my southern line. Here I'm using VA and NC stock to create a hypo with a southern type pattern. The second and third pic are from my classic line which only utilizes southern MD stock.

That is a a completely narcistocanibolizistic thing to say!

Nice stuff, Tony! Get a new camera? Both of your lines are stellar.

Glad to report that it was only the memory card. A friend suggested I try replacing it first. Turned out to be good advice. Thanks for the comps but the snakes do all the work!

and why cross two distinct locales? I'm not sure I got the big picture on that. That first one is really unusual too.

The original hypo line was weak by the time I got it and the "data" on locality stocks was IMHO "lacking"! That combined with the belief that propagation of a morph was not in keeping with the preservation ethic locality breeding is, at its best, supposed to espouse and I had no problem crossing other locals into the line to strengthen it.

Tony, those are beautiful, and the babies I got from you this year are doing great! I love them, tom harbin

Glad they are doing we for you Tom. You guys got a really good group of animals last year. Wish I'd had time to get proper photos of them.

The first one iwas a keeper but the more I look at that third one the more I think I should hold her back too.

Pretty much what I expected!

Love to see some more photos of all your coastals.

I'll try to work on some as soon as everyone comes out of hybernation

Wow Tony those are top notch. Very Nice.

Thanks Jason. BTW that Klumpler hypo female I got from you in Datona is doing great. The other trio could go this year but I may hold them back another year as they are only a little over 30"

Beautiful Coastals Tony. Also love the naturalistic photos that you take. Outstanding job. Steve

Thanks Steve. Its taken awhile for me to develope a technique to get the critters to hold still long enough to snap off a few decent shots and to get the color right. Don't think I'll ever get really good at this but its passable.

I would be hesitant to call them Coastal Plains milks if I were you. That "Virginia" line you talk about is from no where near Virginia, that snake could very well be a syspila. I still do not understand why anyone would cross temporalis from different states. They are far to different from state to state to cross them. I consider your milk snakes hybrids.

"I consider your milk snakes hybrids. "

I know you do. I’ve been hearing that from potential buyers for years. I have the word of a trusted individual as to the locality of that animal you have your speculations but I'm not swatting that fly anymore.
