Is that a hybino bull...Sorry I am not a Pit man, but I do have a pair of albino patternless pines.
And I have a pair of triple het (albino, hypo and whitesides) on the way.....

Here are the pines.....
I know it is not the Pit forum, but these are almost as addicting as Mexicana....LOL

Hey John, Almost as addicting? You're telling me man! Check out my site and see how many pits I bought last year. And what about this year. More Pituophis on the way!!!! hehe. Good thing that my females produced some nice keeper thayeri for me this year to keep that end satisfied. The more I work with them the more I like their "personalities." I love 'em but the only thing that I would trade for is the smell when they deficate. Oh yeah! You'll definitely know when they do (specially the Bulls), LOL. Anyway, Good luck with the pines.

The thing about Pits is their personality, I think.
I cannot quite put my finger on it.
I think the whole morph thing has gone out of control, but I enjoy it tremendously. Now I can have variable clutches hatch from every snake pair I own.
Like I stated above, I am getting some triple het bulls that will produce Hypos, Albinos, Hybinos, whitesided of each and normals and hets and possible hets.......All in one clutch......
That is why I like Mexicana so much more though....I can get my fill of variability with one single clutch (more is better) that was produced by het for nothing parents......
Good luck with your pits too Jonel.....Mine are 2004 hatch and are already 30 inches long.....maybe by 2007 they will reproduce.....
I am told I may get Leucistics from the pairing.....We shall see....
Now here is a Mexicana to make this post fit a little more into our forum....LOL
