Please post pictures of your new snakes, ones you purchased or hatched that you feel pretty excited about. I love seeing them and admiring the variety. I am very excited about the babies I am getting so most of you must be also.

Thanks,
Vicki

Very nice man. I'm a Floridana guy at heart, but all these Easterns I've been seeing lately have been catching my attention. I even almost bought a pair of "Pine Barrens" I saw on the classifieds about a week ago...reminded me of a book I read as a kid, called "Snake Hunting", or something like that. The renowned Pine Barrens were a focus in the book and a beautiful Eastern was caught there if my memory serves me correctly. Oh the memories....wish I could be a child again sometimes.

Yeah, these are my first Easterns. I got a pair of OBX too. They are really sweet. They eat lizards like crazy.

Was it "snakes and snake hunting" by Carl Kaufeld?

Well considering the source of their father, maybe that's what I should do?

Why post anything else? Thanks.

Not even gonna ask what that exchange is all about....but I still would like to know what it is...the snake that is.

The snake is a snow FL king. The mother is a very nice snow

and the father is a normal, 2x het/snow.

I never said it was....but only really because I haven't the foggiest what a "pink pearl snow" is....or anything else for that matter.....as far as they go....
It's displaying anery/axanthic traits and amelanistic traits, so I call it a "snow".

I know Rainer called it a pink Pearl. Do you know if it's Anery or Axanthic? Looks more like Axanthic, or is it both? Either way I like it a lot Mark! Here is my Pink Pearl with my Male ghost. I don't have any new pics of her.

I'm sure you already know this Mark.... a nice big shroud around the viewfinder would work great for that type of thing where the outside surrounding light is a pain.

I thought it turned out great to be honest, but you will no doubt make many personal adjustments as you continue doing that sort of thing.

I could watch stuff like that all day long!..

I heard when they are doing that if you rub their chin they go to sleep. I keep forgetting to try it when I find one. Sweet video, was that the one you found like a month or two ago?

2 weeks ago. These 4 are from a clutch of 10. Tried to get a pic of all 10 but way to skittish! I was lucky to get this. these are nicest 4 of the bunch...Dave.

Love those slightly abberant patterns on the one on the far right.

All are smoking!!

I too like the oddities and variety of the greybands. Thanks for the compliment. Dave.

You are more than welcome, my friend!!
I love slight and significant abberancies in alterna. You can have 10 blairs phases and have all of them look a little different than the other.
....which I why I struggle with not buying EVERY single one I like! LOL!!!!!!

Aren't those some Loggerhead x softshells that were back-crossed two generations and now they are genuine softshells again now??. The herpetocultural scholar(Davis)claims that is all it takes to make a specific animal genuinely "authentic" once again..HHAHAHAAAHAHAA!!!!!!!!!!!

This is my second clutch of alternas this summer. First year to breed them.

These 8 have all shed, and are still digesting their yolk reserves.

I think this might be my favorite.

One of nine baby fence lizards hatched a few days ago. I've hatched several clutches of these in the past, good experience for doing snakes.

I did not feel the need to buy any reptiles this year. LOL!

I need to pick your brain on breeding fence lizards. I guess the first thing I need to know is whether the two Dave sent me are a pair.

Males always have the pair of enlarged postanal scales. Females never have these enlarged postanal scales. Even tiny hatchlings can be identified by the presence or not of these scales.
