The site has had a 15 pic plus update. Im pretty sure every state has new pics added except maybe Alabama. Also check out the new pics of Kevin Enge's Mosaics. Here is a pic by Kevin Enge of a 2003 male Georgia Eastern he produced. Very cool photo I thought.

an albino eastern that I recently acquired. I'll have to post a picture later. I've seen a few cali's with this trait, but I don't know if it is common in the easterns.

That reminds me of a king I had from South Georgia back in the eighties. Solid black veneer and extremely wide cream bands (almost (goin like).

Yeah my one male has the black belly and my female doesnt. Seems to be inherent with some GA Kings.

Solid black-belly, it's the only one I've seen like that, though I don't know if it is uncommon or not. I also had an eastern male from South Georgia with a black-belly. Coincidentally the Goin is also a male.

Tom said that he bred his original het into Southern Georgia stock. That would tend to fall into line with the whole ventral pattern issue.

It's a cool trait, I wonder if anyone has any breeding records or such.

On my snake the whole ventral pattern seems to be "pushed" off the ventrals onto the sides. It's as if a stripe is running down the belly rather than the back. That was a very non-technical explanation but I think you get the idea. I just have to figure out how to calm her down so I can get some pics.
