Thanks John. Yeah, the black is very reduced. I was aiming for that very trait so I guess it worked. One more generation and things will be even more extreme. Thanks Mitch for the advice.

Very nice. How did the one get the stub tail?

She was just born like that. She is only missing the very tip (just the tip---haha). Looks like Mr. Staub got a hold of her at his study site and clipped her tail.LOL

Beautiful snakes! The yellowish/bronze head/snout coloration is quite prominent...dare I say...looks almost like heads of some thayeri haha.
Stub tail girl does look like it had an encounter with Rick Staub!
Are the parents reduced blacks as well?
