Was cleaning today and snapped a few quick pics. Thanks to some sage advice from Paul Lynam I will be feeding them more than I have to date! LOL Awesome snakes all the way around for sure. I have 2.2 young animals (as the photos attest) so I'm set for quite awhile w/this group!

Those are awesome! Every time I see nice pics like these that little snake keeping gremlin in me starts buzzing.

Those are KILLER Bill! Very nice animals, indeed.
I was hopimg there would be some very nice Ratsnakes at the Arlington Breeder Expo here in Texas this past weekend. But other than corn morphs, I pretty much struck out on the Elaphe.
(Got some nice Pueblan Milks, which I intend to breed. I have finally gone to the dark side!LOL). Had I seen those, they would have a nice home here right now!

Thanks Matt. They are worth every penney no doubt! Easily one of the easiest group of snakes I have. Just so different than other NA Ratsnakes behaviorally. Undemanding and docile..just wish all my Boiga would take a lesson from them!

Bill

Good looking animals, Billy. Santa Rita stock, right?

Yep, mine eat well, as long as the temps don't get too cold. Hopefully, I'll get my first breeding next year...

Hey Terry!

3/4 are from that locality, 1.0 from a more obscure area..which I think we talked about last time we met. Mine still have a season to go yet.

Bill

The green is coming in really nicely on those - I bet they'll be outstanding adults.

Nice Group! I have a lone female from Mt Hopkins that is eating great, yet her brother the male died last year. Love to find another male to match up with her. Once they get over the hump of eating f/t they are a snap!
