Dell,

Those are hideous critters. My suggestion is that you cull the lot of them, especially breeders #6, and #7...however, all culling should be done at my house! Haha.

Great looking snakes. I like the fact that they are seemingly easy to get going for such small hatchlings. Hey, I hope to see you when you head out this way this spring. But just a heads up, northern California may wash away in the rains before you get out here!

Heya Mitch,
I like that you point out that they are very easy to get going on pinks, they are a very hobby friendly milk to work w/.

I'll be talking w/ you, and hope you don't wash away before I get there.

Thanks Jeff,

I'm w/ you, I tend to like the crossover gentilis the most.
Here is a great looking flame thrower from KS that's still there too.

"Thanks Doug! I sure wish he was still in my collection though"

Yeah Jimmy,....but don't feel all alone there buddy!. I could kick myself right square in the ARSE for getting rid of certain things in the past too......(sniff-sniff...wipe)

And everyone else I know that has been in it for any length of time has life-long regrets about letting certain types slip through their fingers as well.

Always good to see gentilis posted on the forum. This was a great post to come back to after a week of being sick and out of town. It's especially refreshing in light of the snow we're getting right now!

I had at least 4 observed gentilis hook-ups last night, with a bunch of others likely. Hopefully I'll be seeing some of this in the near future:

Those are some interesting little gems too there Cole!

Good luck with producing some more of those guys this season as well!
