Great looking neonates...I dig them!

However, can you post pics of the parents?

Maybe it's just the photograph, because I know how that can play a BIG role in how Hondos look, but they seem very dark black to me.

Please don't misunderstand my comment, I am very interested in this pairing, and I'm not trying to annoy you. I'm just trying to understand the "hypo" gene in our Hobby Hondos we love!

I had a pair of knockout tricolor hypos (a few years ago) and one of the neonates came out and looked completely normal to me.

Here's the shot with the one tricolor I'm referring to (from 2008):

Did you see my post below on July 20, FIRST PEEK animal is out!? Check it out. Now those are some sweet babies! I will post the adult pics for you of these but at this moment don't have time. Hopefully tomorrow. Thanks, Rusty.

Wow, Rusty. That smaller one in the pair pic, I assume is the male was unbeleivable!

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?
