Nice! Seems there is two types of B.pines, there is the "glossy black" ones and the "roughly keeled but browner" ones, the ladder always show some pattern. Maybe these are the only two genes that all of our B.pines are offspring of...they have been considered rare since the turn of the last century, but anyway, I also noticed that the glossy ones have smaller, less keeled bodyscales and have a clear or white pre-ocular at hatch size, here is a puzzle, why does my female B.pine drops 4" eggs and yours seem to be more like 2", and this is strange too, my male likes to be cool but the female likes the 82* in the cage, so I let the male loose when he rubs his cage, in an empty back bedroom with a tile floor that stays 78* in the summer, well he found a phone jack with a missing plate cover and went into the wall and slipped into a coma for a month, he went into shed on the third day and been white for over three weeks, he wont shed till he has been clear for a few days and he is still white, anyone ever had a male take a mid summer hibernation period?
