these are finally breeding size....
First the two females, I found them as hatchlings literally right next to each other. Same locality as Austin Todd's and Corpus Todd's snakes.

Then the two males hand picked from a gob of the young of the year...

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice!!!

Yeah- that male is the one you picked up for me!

I also have them in together, but they sure are secretive about their exploits... quite the contrast compared to the exhibitionist-tendencies of the kingsnakes!

>>sweet.what locale are those?

They are locality matched Marathon Texas Bull/Gophers. Iron Mountain is the closest geographic feature to where they were captured, so if I decide to call them Iron Mountain Bulls that will be why.
