Now I learned an important lesson.
I need to re-check the sexes on my holdbacks just as often as I do the snakes that are being sold.
Our prize 2 year old pastel female, over 1500 grams and going for her first breeding season...just got caught doing a smack down on our mojave male. She's a boy. >.<
Sooo disappointing. "She" was our largest pastel holdback, and I had high hopes that 'she' would grow to be a 5 foot monster like 'her' mother.
