My newest Mex Mex. He's right about 42" according to John's Serpwidget thingy. A real gentle giant Could this be what those "brown phase" babies end up looking like?

That sure is a big one Bill. Maybe someday some of mine will reach that enormous length. 36 inches is big for Mexicana.
My biggest Mexicana are my Alterna (still mexicana in my book)
I got a trio that measures 47, 48 and 50 inches according to the Serpwidgets snake measurer program.
I like the brown hue, head pattern and nuchal marking on him.
Maybe it was a brown neonate and this is what one looks like as an adult. I guess you gotta find a female to breed him to so you can find out. Not only find out the neonate color, but find out why this is so fun. LOL

What I was told by the seller was he bought him at a local show in 2002 as a hatchling and raised him up. Kept to a weekly feeding routine, never cooled or bred. I'll look for a suitable female for 2006. Until then he'll enjoy the simple life with no girls just plenty to eat.
