Hey guys, i'd like to present to you my pair of emeralds .
Here's the male :

Here's the female :

And here's the two of them together :

I'm pretty sure that the female has already ovulated and now, they're still together but never close to each other. Haven't seen any matings this season though...

I was wondering, do you guys know how melanism carries on? If i do produce babies, i have no clue at all of if they will have it in them or not, since when i got my male, he was totally red without a single dot of black...

Phil, I dont think anyone knows the genetics but that is an awesome pairing.
did you purchase that snake from Mike?????
very impressive.
we really need some melanistic Northerns to add
some excitement.
best of luck and if you succeed please put me on the short list!

I got my melanistic male from a local importer about 5 years ago. It was a tiny red baby and there was not a single sign of anything related to melanism at all. It all developped in the past years and it seems to be getting darker every day .

Who's Mike?

Mike Clark had a male that looked very much like yours which he also picked up as a normal newborn.

Norm,

Phil is not too far from me and this snake is not the same animal... I have been pestering him to sell it to me with no luck.... ... I'll keep trying!!!
