Hi,
I'm new, and bored...so I am practicing posting pics.
Here is one of my sonoran sweetie pies. She came from my first clutch of eggs three years ago. Came home one day to find eggs in the cage! Surprised me because I had separated two gopher snake males that I thought had been "fighting" (I was new, and ignorant ). I was snake sitting my friend's sonoran so he was shacked up with my sonoran. After too much "wrestling and fighting" I decided to split them up. Then eggs showed up! Very cool. I incubated and hatched 3 babies (4 of the 7 eggs turned brown and ucky-never hatched). My friend kept this one and after all this time she returned it to me because she had decided not to keep snakes anymore. Well I'm glad to have her back.

I've been really impressed with the natural look of the Sonorans. Is that one from AZ? It looks like the local variety here.

I have no idea. The daddy was a freebie (I can't believe someone just gave him away!) Some lady in San Diego was breeding them and decided to get into chinchilas, so she got rid of all her snakes. She gave me the daddy who is about 6 feet and very yellow. My friend got the mommy (who we thought was also a boy until the eggs popped out) And she was more reddish (She was suppossed to be the offspring of the big one that I got). Anyway I don't know the original locale. One of the babies come out with some nice reddish color (not the one I posted).
