Disclaimer: I do keep several snakes in pairs, and some in groups. However I realize that things can go wrong, and I have to keep a close eye on those groups, to be sure they are not being adversely affected by these living conditions. Also if one happens to eat it's cagemate, it is 100% my fault, and I know the risks in advance!

What's wrong with using CAUTION?!?!?!

Thanks Billy! I used a male I got from Zenny for almost all of these, except the last one, and probably the first one. That one in the third pic was from pairing Zenny's het for HyperXanthic and Lavender male to what was thought to be a normal female from Mike Russo, with no hets. I later found that the sister to the female and the male of the trio are het for Hypo. Red Hypo apperenty as evidenced by the last pic. I am holding all of the possible het HyperXanthics, till I can determine which ones actually carry the gene thru breeding trials.

Hey Jimmy, that one is one of the few males I got last year. Most were females, which is great since I want to breed them back to their Dad eventally. The Dad was from Zenny, and he is definate het HyperXanthic, and Lavender. That male in the seventh pic alomg with his sister above him, and the lavender near the end, came from a female Anery Snow I goy from Don Shores. Only 3 eggs hatched, but that's enough for what I needed. The normals both hatched very black, and they are showing some deep yellowing that doesn't come thru in the pics. The Lavender is also turning quite yellow. Here are the pair on their honeymoon.
