Blackwalls. Do you want your walls turned in or out? Here's a few pics of what I was talking about. First is the superdude. If I didn't know better, I'd have called it an MBK at birth, but the red flecks on its' belly gave it away. The red specks are turning an orange/gold color. I'll get some shots up of that as well. Hope you likes, I do! Next is a normal female from the same clutch, she's on fire all by herself! Last is a waaaay dark male that actually looks this dark. None are in shed. I originally caught these snakes because as you can see from John's pics of the original male, I thought they rocked and I wanted to work with this locale, and being the southernmost form I have ever found of "pure" speck. They are in the intergrade zone, but these are showing holbrooki all the way. I haven't found any "pure splendidas in this delta, but the intergrades are there. In short, I'm hoping that this is a natural form that can be replicated. We shall see. It's fun to have something to work towards, eh? They are all on double large pinkies and hope to have them on hoppers in a few weeks. Once past that stage they jump to small hoppers quickly. The ones I've raised so far stay at the hopper stage for quite a while, then hit that growth spurt sometime late next year. Lots of attitude when born, these guys stop musking very soon after birth.
