Here's a profile of Cujo and one of his bar-neck mate. The female is an iffy feeder and has never gained weight. She did breed but her babies are a little thin although two are feeding.

BTW, I had a request for clarification on my initials. First name Kim. Male Kim. My mother was going through a phase. Plenty of practice getting out of schoolyard beat-downs, though. Not very manly. You never hear historic sensational criminals called things like Kim The Ripper---noooo--Jack gets all the press. No issues or anything.

Nice collection Kim! looks like you have a few red/pink Westerns and a Redracer? (piceus?(Cujo's mate) No?... lots of folks ask about those, I'm interested in breedin'em myself, so let a brother know if that girl drops in late spring, trade ya! Easterns for Redracers . I like to see your collection is well fed too, I always had a thing for big CWs, not so much for the black racers thou, they're too common here where I live and stay kina small, 40" or so, I've really just started to notice fat and happy wild caught ADs in collections like ours for the first time in my 25 years of collecting/breeding snakes, we arn't the first to try but in a way were pioneers, our success is our proof.

I've kept a few piceus...they seem a little different than testaceus. For one thing, they really seem to prefer smaller food items. Mine always went for small hopper mice, or even fuzzies, maybe two or three every five days. Anything bigger than that they would invariably regurgitate, or ignore altogether. My testaceus are a different story, my largest male eats five to six frozen quail a week, the smaller girl eats about three a week. Piceus remind me a lot more of whipsnakes than coachwhips, at least in their feeding habits. Anyone kept cingulum or lineatus?
