Not the best pics but here is what I could do. I am drowning in baby snakes, lol. Feeding all these suckers is quite a chore.

And Wow! LOVED the pics, all of them. Is that his future mate? Dave.

my favorite pic is the 3rd down. Great pic of the snake , but also shows a nice workstation; the deli cups ready to go, the empty paper towel roll, the pinks in cups for feeding, the eggs incubating in the back...but that is alot of work for sure, thats why I have to stop ADDING to my collection! Dave.

It's an addiction, as you well know! My wife freaks everytime I ask how much do we have in our checking account?

Yeah, I took a chance and put them together, and I feel some lumps but she hasn't laid. I'm a bit perplexed, unless she is going to reabsorb them? I hope she is not having some problem? I will also mate him to my dark East Sandersons triplets next year.

P.S. to answer your question from earlier, your's looks a bit different. I got mine from Tad Fitzgerald, but he sold the line he had. I wish I would have had a chance to buy them!

Thanks Mike! I am itching to get this project underway! The male is from blue parents, and I want to line breed and hope i get some real blue ones, but it takes so darn long, lol.

Wow, those are nice. That last one on the right is really nice! I bought one just like that some years ago as a yearling but as it grew it got darker in the red areas. As an adult it was pretty ugly, the saddles got darker and darker going toward the tail and became nearly black on the last 1/3 of the snake. It was quite disappointing to me because I wanted it to stay the same. Will the same happen top that one? If so, is that some sort of morph?

Well, these are two years old so If it hasn't happened so far, I doubt it will. That female is a generic from Jason Nelson. I wanted to find a good looking Red Bluff (Hwy 277) like the male, but at the time no one had any so when I saw this female I jumped on her, even though she is generic. My goal is to produce some clean bright animals, hopefully blue ones, like the males parents. So she was a good choice. My East Sandersons, started out looking more normal, and they are super dark now. They are even darker than that picture I posted for Dave. But that's what they are known for. Don't know if you can call them a morph?
