This little girl is just a little gravid, can't really tell by the photo but she is starting to show her skin between the scales. Male is the second photo for comparison, if it helps. I witnessed 7 lock-ups between these in 5 days.

Thanks, I like them better than the Amealco's. If I remember correctly these are F4's, so maybe they will produce some diablo's.

I wonder what the F5s will look like.....the keep getting pinned out and brighter red...I have the F2s, F3s and F4s here still and I can see the progression in each generation.......

Poor planning and procrastination on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part...

They are the brightest of the ruthveni. Hopefully we will see in a few months.

Very nice. They're the only thing that I still want to (or am actually going to) add to my collection.

Good luck this season.

Thanks! They are nice and bright, pictures don't do them justice at all.

Looking good Jimmy.....that's the F4 you got from me that Shannon produced, right?
The diablo girl was an F3...... She is ovulating now........

Yes she is.....Feels like 5 eggs...I am going to predict another 2 weeks and she will lay.....Might be sooner, as she looks to be darkening up to enter her shed cycle.

Those are some good looking snakes! It's remarkable how much they look like Milk snakes!

That's probably why they were originally sold as Jalisco Milks (L.t.arcifera)....Thanks!
