Finally after 76 days my Hondurans are hatching. The Sire is a normal appearing tangerine I acquired through a BHB auction for $27. The Dame is an Anery(I know... Hyper-E). When I purchased the male there was no info as to if he was het for anything at all. Obviously he is het for anery as the bottom egg is an anery. The 4th egg is empty in this pic as that guy is already set up in my hatchling rack. I will make sure to do a group photo when everyone is out.

Hyper-e..... definitely not the right term.

"Hyper-e..... definitely not the right term"

That's very true, hyp-er erythristic (over-abundance of red pigment, i.e. erythrin) would be the exact opposite of what they actually are, extremely hypo-erythristic (greatly reduced red pigment).

Good going on hatching those out! I remember you posting about those a good while back. Cool that you also proved the BHB tangerine to be also be het anerythristic..

Here is the first one that is already set up.

Good looking baby. Appears to be hypo too!

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?!?!?!
King Snakes! Who can make a better mouse trap?

I also bred this male to a het for albino. She laid 8 eggs. Lets see if i can get lucky twice.
