Because you don't see them a lot, my 1 year old female.
No pictures from the male as he was in a shed

Interesting! A pretty thing, very elegant! She is slender like my Pacific gophers.

Thx Bob, they are slender indeed.
You can not push those snakes, they grow slowly on 1 mice a week.

Very nice. I have an 08 female that looks very similar to yours. I love deppei, you have to have patience with them though. Mine are alomost three and not quite four feet yet. This pic is a year old. I'll have to take some new ones.

Nice one Matt, I think my male looks more similar to yours.
The female does not realy have very dark spots.

Looks like good size for a 1 year old. Also showing great color potential.

Here's my 3 year old ...just got to 200 grams at approx. 33 inches! She just doesn't like to eat regularly not matter what I do. The world's most frustrating snake

Nice yellow on that one Monklet.
Mine are eating very well and never refuse a meal.
I give them 1 mice a week and they weight almost 200 grams at 1 year old.
Those snakes were not in my plans but Al Stotton offered to me.
To be honnest I was not realy a fan of deppei deppei but I'm very happy to have them now.

Thanks John. I'm attracted to P. d. deppei as they are a little off the beaten path ...jani usually thought of as the pretty sister. Deppei seem much more variable to me and that is also a cause of my fascination.

Color progression is looking good, John. Love those yellows.

Are you sure about her gender though? I would have guessed male.
