Those are great looking vey typical Hueco's Don. Unlike those one's last year that were suppose to be huecos from Doherty/Johnson stock and turned out to be Gap/hueco crosses. What a fiasco that caused. Thought you were just a "milk snake" guy? Congrats on the successful breeding/hatching of a once very tough locality. Good luck getting them to take pinks. I've bought 2 babies in the past and they both had the dreaded "failure to thrive" syndrome. Fricken baby alterna!!! LOL. BA

Thanks, they do seem to be a little tougher. Last year they went full term in the egg and died. I still have 1 more clutch to go. Don

Hueco's are sweet. One of yours looks like it's got a belly full of yolk
