Nice Gidi! Congrats on the eggs.
Do you know the locality of the male? I think you mentioned in a post you made a while back but I'm not sure.

Hi Randy,

The male is a "tiger" form, which means that he is selective bred. But the original female come from Cherksy mountain.

Best regards,

Hey Gidi,

Interesting cross you've got there. May I assume at least some of them will be holdbacks?

Best regards,

Herman.

Hey Herman,

As this is the first time for this cross between a yellow striped with a Tiger I dont know what will hatch, bepending on their colors I will keep 1.1 or 2.2.
Are you interested?

Best regards,
Gidi

Hey Gidi,

Am I interested? Well, yes and no. Yes, as a herpetologist, certainly. But you see, here lies my problem. There are so many snakes that I find interesting. Besides ratsnakes, I also like pits, kings, milks, even garters. But unfortunately, I can't have it all. There's only so much room or time I can spare, and I'm already stretching my limitations as they are. Once you have a job, wife and kids and all that, you'll understand.

Now I'm starting to sound like some old fart, LOL.

Best regards,

Herman.
