Love the snake room this time of year.

My collection has doubled since this year's eggs have hatched...to a nowhere near overwhelming and thoroughly enoyable 22 snakes right now. So nice spending time in the basement and admiring them all. Felt the urge to snap some cheap camera phone pics.


It's surreal holding these after how long I thought about producing them.

The nicest Bullet I've ever seen and she's MINE. :) I think "Macklott's Ball" is a more fitting moniker, at least for this one. But then I guess that would muddle things in hybridization terms.

Female Pastel that came out this year. I can't capture her true golden-ness...and she has a zipper on her side.

Snapped my dinker girl just cause she's awesome. Over 5' long and many thousands of grams.

Got a good clandestine shot of one of my most prized gems and all-time favorite species in the world, before she caught on and got suspicious.

Thanks. Not a Broad Band though, Trans Pecos.

Here she is out on the floor.

My male's (who I assume to be at least her half sibling, because I got them from the same breeder a year apart, and they're both the same age) side pattern.

And their Big Hoss cousin.

in the second picture you can really see the trans pecos colour. in the first pic you posted she looked so orange that trans pecos never even came to my mind. i love how variable all the subs are. i used to have a pair of northerns that were super orange and always nuts, but they were still some of my favorites in the collection.

Yeah, they're incredible. I can't live without Coppers around. About 10 years ago, I got some gravid female Northerns from Kentucky. They were like bold rust colored with bright yellow heads, nicest Northerns I've ever seen. I eventually ended up selling the adults and their offspring when I had to downsize at one point, thinking I could always get more later. I was wrong and still regret ever giving them up. TPs are my favorites but NICE Northerns and Southerns are just as impressive.

nice looking snakes, copperhead is very beautiful

Ha! Nice. :)
I'd actually much rather come to your state though. Obviously, CA has its share of problems just like every other state, but I've always wanted to see the whole place from San Diego up to the Emerald Triangle, and even Oregon and WA state too. No matter what issues Cali has, it's gotta be more interesting than Delaware. :)

Very Nice!!!
