I'm very happy with these babies. Some are extra nice, at least to me. This female produced 13 in first clutch and 9 in this one. Every egg hatched.

Those are all very nice, but i agree that some there are "extra nice"...congrats...love the black and white...dave

Thanks a lot. I,m sure I can find a couple of hold backs in there.

They do look nice Dennis! All the eggs hatching is awesome 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?!?!?!

Thanks Jorge. I was very pleased with that pairing.

Those are some very nice desert phase! Did the mom breed a second time too?

Yes Ross. She did breed a second time. I also bred the lavendar female again. They should be out in about a 10 days or so. I didn't breed the spotted female again.

Thanks, Dennis

Very cool. I like seeing the difference between the two clutches. Very interesting.

Real nice clutch Dennis! Looks like you have some almost 50/50's in that batch. Thanks for sharing, once my clutch sheds I will post some pics.

Thanks. Looking forward to your pics. There were 2 or 3 real sweet ones in there.

I always associated black and white banded as being 50/50's. But when you say 50/50's.... you really mean that there is just as much black as there is white. Is that a correct statement?

Yes....50/50s have white bands as wide as the black bands....
Some are more like 60/40 or 70/30 nowadays......

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

And you have to go by the width of the bands on the very top, not the sides.

hahaha Well, I hope you are just kidding. I wrote that for anyone that didn't know. We had some guy arguing with Hubbs about what a 50/50 was last year and he was trying to say you go by the overall white. Sides and top, but that's not how its done.

Those are very nice. I really like them alot.

Thanks, Davy. I was pleased with them.

Dennis, Very nice black & white California Kingsnakes, I like them. Are they locale specific, as in both parents from the same county or area? Thanks, John

Sorry I never replied John. Didn't notice your response. I got them from two different sources. They are not locale specific.
