Hi Tom,

Great batch of photos!!!! Every time I think I'm a purest I see a clutch like your pines or Sonorans and get all excited! Do you know what you'll be breeding this year???

Hey Pat, good to hear from you. I don't like to count my chickens n all that but here's my list of hopefuls
Jani
Deppei
Patternless Pines including my 02 holdback Albino
Sonorans
Nigritis
Brooksi
Thayeri
a few types of Corns
and some Hondurans.
if I am lucky some Womas too. How's the snakes you got form me doing? I would love to see a pic of the male Brooksi, he is going to be blinding yellow. ttyl Tom Stevens

How big is that girl now? Tom - since you have a collection of breeding adults, do you notice that either the males or females of Pits. tend to be larger than the other.

Of the corns I've had and seen, males tend to grow larger almost always. Regards - Matt

Well, my Sonoran male is about as big as the female, but the male Pine is a scrawny little thing for a 6 year old and the female is a monster heavily bodied giant. Oddly enough my male Deppei is bigger than the female at the same age and it's too early to tell with my Jani, but for now the female is twice the males weight and at least 20 inches longer. My male Brooksi seems heavier and longer than the female, I think it varies for the most part. I have many males that don't cost much at all to feed because they're much more interested in mating as opposed to eating for the majority of the year, yet some of them are quite large too? If I had to guess I'd guess that the female is more often the largest when both have a few years on them. Tom Stevens
