A few shots here of a clutch of Pales that have taken off very well. It was only a small clutch of 5 eggs, and I've gotten a full mix of feeders from it. This first Pale took his first pink head on the first try and hasn't refused a feeding ever. Gotta love that!

The others needed tails stuffed on em a few times, but for the most part after steady persuasion have taken to pink heads rather quickly.

But this little PAIN IN THE ARSS, with the arrowhead head cap, is giving me fits and hasn't taken a food item on his own yet.....Pink head offered....head refused....tail stuffed...same thing next week, and next week, and the next, and the next...on and on and on it's gone. But one day he'll take that pink head. I just know he will. When that day happens I'll drink a beer and smoke a cigar in rejoice.

Until then, it's the same old scenario... Offer, refuse, force. Offer, refuse, force.

I'll leave you all w/ a couple of other Cherry Co. Pales to look over.

Thanks Dennis,
The first one in the photo series is the great feeder. So I have a biased affection for him.

Pale milk snake, Cherry Co.

Hey Dell,

That "PAIN IN THE ARSS" one looks a touch lighter in the black...is it just the photograph...or is that one different from the rest of the clutch?

Rusty that neonate is from the same clutch, I think the photo is a little over exposed, hence the lighter black and red. In person it looks just like it's clutch mates.

Cherry Co. ♀

Just looking for anyone who may have pale milk snakes for sale.

It's hard to NOT love those Cherry Co. animals... especially when you photograph them as well as you do! If there wasn't still snow on the ground, I'd say we should get out in the hills... Perhaps Charina are up?! I'll call ya.

Ouch!
Number one is an absolute crackerjack pale - easily one of the best known examples. Curse you Dell!!!
The bar goes a bit higher every year....
