I always like to see some good Climac action. I love those pesky snakes.

The female looks like she has great weight on her too. Keep us posted.

Will do Tom - I'll definitely keep you informed. My females have been eating 1-2 adult mice every 4 days since they came out of brumation so they have excellent weight. They went through post-brumation shed a couple of weeks ago, but the male just shed yesterday, so I tossed him in today. They locked up instantly. Fortunately neither of the females I got from you nor the male albino has ever stopped voluntarily feeding since I got them as hatchlings. That's pretty rare for climacs in my experience and has gotten them up to size quickly. Anyway, I plan on tossing the male in with female #2 in a couple of days and hopefully will see the same response.
Do you expect to have albinos this year or just hets?
