Fish Eaters

Technically snake eaters but they're feeding on fish today. Pictured first is a Drymarchon melanurus rubidus(Mexican Indigo) and second is a pied Boiruna maculata(Mussurana). The garter snakes snatched a few fish today too but, sadly, none of those pictures were in focus.

This pregnant lady was begging for food, as usual, so she got another fish today - decent focus this time when I went for a couple pictures.

It's a naturally occurring form of piebaldism. The double gene expression is all/mostly white with a patterned head. I believe this particular line was started from a WC super pied male bred to some captive females, resulting in single gene pieds.
