I'm pretty excited to work with 2.2 of these little gems. They're still settling in and I didn't want to disturb them too much so I took a few quick pics over the last couple of days. I'll get some better ones up soon. Pretty pumped to see these grow up :D

Thanks. The pics were a little worse than I thought, you're too kind Todd lol. I have some better ones posted below now.

Now I wonder if this is natural variation or possibly some sort of Hypo? I hesitate to think so when the tail seems so dark still.. Any thoughts?

Man I'm having terrible posting luck today... The last one in the post above obviously isn't looking hypo, this is one of the ones I meant, but the tail seems dark to me so my suspicion is just natural variation:

hypo is a reduction in melanin, so technically, I would say hypo.
Well, hypo-ish, lol! great looking snakes in any case!
