Here are some photos of my clutch of nine offspring from a VR orange leonis male and a Bates orange intermediate with high contrast. All have shed and three have already taken a FT pink. Four females and five males. The orange shades range from intense apricot to a burnished orange. Lots of intense color with this clutch!

Here are the first three females:

Here are the fourth female and the first two males:

Here are the last three males:

Finally, here is a head shot of the last male:

Now REALLY finally, here are pictures of Mom and Dad:

The head shot is of the NEXT to the last male . . .

Poor planning and procrastination on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part...

the second one in this post is my fav.... nice snakes!

Question, if you take it another two generations with that color,will they self-combust in the egg? Holy smokes!

LOCALITY: Traceable lineage to WC snakes from the same locality.
I don't care how far apart they are (within reason) as long as the localities are stated, buyers can make up their own minds.

NON-LOCAL or GENERIC: Lineage is not traceable to WC
Generics need love too.

Thanks, Joe. I like to spontaneous combustion idea. Actually, I did see some smoke coming out of some of the eggs when they started to pip . . .

My favorites are #2 and #3.
Looks like Halloween came early.
I kept waiting for one not to be orange. LOL

Me too! It is hard to tell them apart -- the head patterns are a big help.

Nice looking orange thayeri Tom....
With the looks of the adults they should hold onto that color pretty darn well....
Congrats!.......aren't thayeri a blast to work with?........

They are the best, John. Even though this clutch included only two basic types --those who favor Mom and those who favor Dad. In any case, I do enjoy "Christmas in July" with these beautiful snakes . . .

Oh man those look great. Glad to see you still have that sanke and that you are reproducing more with it. You might have tempted me to come back

For the record I always had good success getting hatchling thayeri to eat when I offered 1/2 of a pink to them. Not sure if it was the size of the body fluid that made it attractive but it 99% of the time worked.

Good luck,
Russ

Nice to hear from you, Russ. Thanks for the tip. My money is on the body fluid smell because I've found that brained pinks work well for those babies who won't start on intact pinks.

Below is a picture of the Momma snake that you sold me. Take care, man.
