She just shed and looks better than ever. She looks better everytime she sheds. I take great pride in this snake as she is extremely docile and just a beuty. This is my only banded, cause I just don't see them at shows that often. I used to see them all the time when I was just getting into waters. This guys used to have them up there and he rescued them from peopels yards and stuff and he had no place to release so he had to keep them or sell them. He has not been up to the show recently.. Probably because the snakes are not out and about. They are not in my range. The only real common waters in my range are just midlands and yellow bellies. We also have the queens but I have only caught one. I will try to take more pics tomarrow. I am probably goign to try and feed the big female another rabbit if I have one left. Won't be long till I have to feed her hairless rats. Fur doe not go that well with my waters digestive system. How long did you guys have to wait before they could handle the fur? I have tried over and over and even with fuzzy mice they will usualy regurge. I cannot get my mangrove to eat anything with fur. He spits it out. It is all fine with me though. I have hairless rats raising and I have rabbits that I will eventualy get to raising well. I will also try to get pics of the diamond back female after she eats again. She regurged the pinky.. I guess she was still stressed or something. the male is doign great. Now I got the midlands, diamond backs, bandeds, florida, and mangrove. Oh, and I think one of my florida waters may not be. It is starting to look like a young yellow belly. I'll post pics of it latter too. I need some florida greens and some brown water snakes now. well, after I get another of opposite sex of the ones I only have one sex of. I got to go get soem KY jelly so I can probe them and find out what I need. I will quite rambling now.

...but I have a male that looks a lot like your female. He is also extremely docile and eats everything you put in front of him.

We should get them together, if you know what I mean. They'd make some gorgeous babies.

I sure would go for it but you live to far away and I realy don't want to go thru the trouble of shipping either snake. If you happen to make a trip thru AL one day and will be coming back thru on your way back home you could drop him off one day and I would ship you half the babies when she pops them out.lol. I don't realy think that will happen any tiem soon though.
