Very cool! Can you post pictures of the adults?

Here are the parents.

This pic doesn't do the female justice:

And the male, real syspila looking:

They're both WC. I got her switched to FT fuzzies rather quickly, he still likes a little skink skin on his.

Good to see you on here and working with Lampropeltis! Those are some lookers, no doubt about it. I just saw a similar post from you on FHF. Nice snakes and healthy looking eggs, man.

Now... would you mind posting ("off topic" photos of any recent caudate breeding you've got going on? I've said it before and I'll say it again - those animals are amazing!

Unfortunately my move NC was not condusive to breeding them, we just couldn't find a house we liked that had a basement or cool room. So I had to farm out most all of my colony. I did hold on to my pair of lugubris with the albino, but he died a month or so ago, so I have the single female left. If I can ever get a building permit I might add a room with a lower level.
