Not to my knowledge. Not alot of people work with easterns and those that do in general are more interesting in localities and keep them pure than hybrids.

You can look through the classifieds, some times theres one or two. But bets are you'll have to go WC. If you can find one your already better off than me. I can never find them around here although I know they're here.

feed the hell out of the eastern.i thought i had mine well fed,put her in to breed,and the male was gone 20 min later.thats sucked,because i had finally found another chocolate phase eastern chain king like her,after 2 yrs of searching.she was 4' long,he was a hair longer!
and by well fed,i mean she ate 4 or 5 breeder mice a week.after that fiasco,i traded her to a friend who wanted to try to breed her to a choc cal king he had,she ended up eating his male,too,and he was only out of the room for 10 minutes.he came back,and there was only a foot or so of tail left hanging out of her mouth

most people that are into hybrids dont use easterns because of how hard the babies are to ge started eating. why not use a milk like a pueblan that has babies that are fantastic eaters. also any hybrid that has cal king it comes out looking dirty and muddy. not the best looking hybrids. please dont do it just cause you have access to a cal king and an eastern milk. do it because you have some breeding experience under your belt and have put serious thought and planning behind it.
