So we're still waiting on the majority of this clutch to leave the egg...only two have so far...the others are hanging out in the eggs. One surprise was a classic jungle that popped up out of nowhere (this is the third clutch from this mom and we've never gotten anything like this from her). Like I said, too bad we can't produce classic jungles on purpose. Scroll down to my message from last night to see some head shots of it.

Anyway, don't know yet if we'll get any reduced looking babies from this clutch we'll see.

Although, the little jungle seems to be more reduced/banded than most. I cant get over how bright its colors are compared to its clutchmate. Enjoy the pictures and let me know what you think about the little beauty. Thanks! P.S. the 3rd pic is my fave...scroll down...lol.

if I were you, I'd definately keep that classic jungle, or whatever it is.. male or female? Awesome little snake, no doubt there! It's very pretty and I certainly would be keeping that one.. especially if it's a female

Thanks for sharing and best of luck with them!

Really, other than being very pretty, its not going to be anything we can reproduce. To date, no one has been able to reliably reproduce this trait. Most folks think it is just some random thing that kind of pops up from time to time. A couple of folks have suggested that it may be controlled by many genes, all of which have to be "turned on" in order to express the trait. We'll see. If someone out there wants it bad enough we may have to part with it...lol. Thanks!
