Waiting for the turkey to cook took some snaps.

Here's some headshots of my little male Northern.

Here's a body shot.

Body shot of one of my females.

Some squirmy deppei deppeis

Awesome snakes my man. I have been thinking about picking up some nice contrasting pines next year. This post just pushes me that much further!

Thanks Joe. I've always loved northerns. As a kid growing up in Jersey I would hitch down to the barrens to go herping. Sentimental old fool I guess.

I picked both the northerns and deppei up from Freight Freitas. The northerns are out of his big B&W female Moosie, 7' 9 lbs. She has a beautiful red wash and the babies are already starting to show some of that.

The deppei's parents are gorgeous bumble bee black and yellow monsters. So I'm looking forward watching all of these develop.

Happy Thanksgiving.

The mother is 7'9" !!! Holy cow. I better start finding ways to expand my snake room then because I have to have a pair of those pretty soon!! LOL. (really though). I picked up a pair of Deppei a few weeks back and like you I am jacked up about watching them change as they grow. Why did I ever have to come over here and browse. I should have stayed over on the milk and king forums and maybe then I would not be shopping for giant tubs now!!! LOL.

The mother of the Northerns is right at 7' and she weighs 9 lbs. Her name is Moose. She's for sale right now in the classifieds as part of a trio.

The parents of the deppeis are both right at 6' which is fine by me.

I should have stayed over on the milk and king forums

I feel the same way when I look at the milk and king forums. Why didn't I stay in the pits and indigo forums? LOL

Cool, I have a pair of 08 deppei from those same monsters. They are more yellow in real life.

Sweet yours are coloring up nicely. Sadly Freight is getting out of Pits and these 2010's will be the last he produces. Man those are really nice looking!

Thanks. They are both around four feet and more colorfull now. I'll have to take some updated pics. I'm hoping they'll breed for me in 2012.

I just love looking at hatchling Northerns. They look real clean.
