Those are sweet! Not only because of the spots, but the orange is nice too. Those are some of the best looking annulata I've seen.

You honestly think so. I'm very suprised of you saying that because, quite often, most of the snakes found in the UK tend to poor examples or even not pure. That's very kind of you to say so. Here's some pictures of there hatchlings, not as orange as young.

Het Spotted 08

The comments just keep getting better. I've done well with these then! I got them for very cheap too. £120 which is give or take $184 for the pair

I too think those are great looking annulata you picked up, and the price for an adult pair was very cheap in my opinion.

The orange in celaenops seems to get brighter and stronger as they age, and I'd bet the same would be true for annulata.

Keep watching this thread because I bet a few people come in here that keep some awesome looking annulata as well.

Very nice animals! I really dig that male since his white is tangerine. I'm not sure the spotted trait is a simple recessive trait - I've never known them to be het spotted. I bet you can produce some from that pair though especially if the female came from a spotted line.

Here's a few I have

Very nice Dave!

Wow, that has got to be the coolest spotted Mexican milk ever!

Do you work with other annulata? I'll be posting an annulata post soon to show how orange my albinos are getting, watch for it, they are pretty neat.

Thanks for posting pics of those killer looking snakes!

Heres a pinner
