This is one of the males--he's the most classic in appearrance. This is the one that still eats geckos--his sister and brother are now eating live fuzzies regularly.
That face. They always look exasperated.

I'll be keeping my eye on those babies, would love to see them as bright pink adults. My easterns came from the same place as yours, there aren't many offered period. I've been keeping my eyes open for over a year. Mine show no interest in eating. The female goes ballistic when I approach, while the male is more defensive, mouth WIDE open, so cute. The male is much easier to handle also, calms down very quickly. The only handling I am doing is feeding, which is stressful enough with a pinky pump. I'm feeding 1/week, approx. 1 pink each. Its staying down and is very obviously passing through. Let me know how your doing with all your coachwhips!

You can see the father of those hatchlings near the bottom of this page under (Here's your pic-Max Peterson.) The stud male is from an isolated area in which the adults are a vivid pink-red. The post is dated (Aug 25, 2004.) I have worked with easterns but haven't sold any thus far.
