Thanks, Ross. They're sure different!

The parents don't look like these, right?

No, sir, they do not. They've both bred before, too, just not together. They look like this:

Apparently so. It certainly wasn't planned... I just decided to pair up two snakes that hadn't been paired before. I'd always paired this particular dam with another male, but decided to give this "old man" a shot at it.

Are the parents siblings?

No. The male is wild-caught and the female is an F1 offspring of his.

This is what "normal" neonates look like from this group:

Take a better pic in good light and include a normal sib and you'll get the results you want.
Color is mos def off for some reason.....

Very cool anerythristics, especially since they are locality.

I'll get more/better photos later on. I try to disturb them as little as possible until they're feeding solidly on f/t pink mice.

Locality they are! Here's a few habitat shots, for those who care.
