some carpets

Very cool pics!

What's the background on Jack and Sally? I have a female not as big, younger than Sally, with very similar markings as well as the black stripe on her belly. So I am very interested in their progress.

Wow, fantastic snakes! I'm jealous:D

As far as background for jack and sally, I have no idea. I got them from a reptile show about 18 months ago when they were little babies. The couple that had them had gotten them from someone else and it seemed like no one knew anything about them. They were marked "striped carpet" and "het striped carpet". So that's why I don't know for sure the stripe's genetic. But I know he would split them up and I had to fight for them... :)

Jack is starting to frustrate me because he's about 4 ft. now and won't switch to rats. So he eats like 6 mice each feeding. And then sally will eat anything and everything, she loves rabbit pinkies, rats... it just doesn't matter with her and she's awesome about eating... so where did you pick up your "striped belly" one? I want to throw in there that I have no idea what the stripe on the belly means as far as genetics for the back stripe, but both jack and sally are VERY striped on their bellies and my other jungles don't seem to have that as much...

Hi

Where is sarah 50.50 for diamond ?.. I just love that Het Genetic striped :d

I was actually referring to 50% yellow, 50% black instead of the thing yellow bands that most of them have... Similar to a california kingsnake and a 50/50 california kingsnake... I'll have to check but I don't think I put diamond on hers... bruce and grace are my only two diamond crosses...

Blake,


Great avatar, I love gabbies!!! If I were to ever keep hots again they would be on the top of the list. And to stay on topic somewhat...once again, I love your snakes! Keep us posted on them!

wow, nice carpets... very different looking than a lot of carpets out there now.

that red phase coastal is so odd looking to me... very cool.

thank you... it's a long story with the red phase and honestly we just finally decided that's what it had to be... it apparently came in a shipment with a group of jungles to be sold by a small company at a show, and so he had no idea where it came from or anything. It was the only red phase in the group though... If you have any thoughts on him, I'd love to hear it... Anyways, here's some baby pictures to show how much these guys have changed... it's amazing when you look at them now...

this is baby sarah, the 50/50 jungle

the red phase looks more like an irian jaya or possibly a cross... i'm not saying thats what it is, just thats what it resembles. how big is he?
