    My newest hatchlings, I fnally got a pied.
    5 years ago, I bought a pair of het Pied babies from Ralph Davis. The male has been breeding for 3 years, but the female has been a bit finicky and has been hard to get up to size. Well, I finally got three eggs out of her this year and I couldn't be happier with the results.

    I finally got my Pied, and it's a male...

    The three bothers. The two possible hets look just like their Dad. I love those little spots by their nostrils 'booger balls' :D

    He's SO white, but just enough contrast to make it interesting.

    I just love the way he looks. 5 years in the making, but well worth the wait.

    Wow Mark! I am soo envious! That is the morph I have been chasing! Maybe next year. :please:

    I guess gettin all those pastels and no lessers happened for a reason...because you were going to get a pied! Congrats man!

    Personally I'd rather hatch a pied over a lesser. I would consider this a successful season for ya now! :)

    Thanks everyone, here's something interesting too. It's neat that Ralph still has the birthing records up, my het male whom I call Lonesome George was an only child in clutch number 47 and the Mom came from clutch 44, both from 2004. Here is the link to Ralphs online birthing records.

    Re: My newest hatchlings, I fnally got a pied.
    Thank you all so much for the kind words. It's very much appreciated

    I've been breeding snakes of one species or another for almost 20 years now and have hatched out over a thousand babies, but two days after this little guy hatched and I still feel like I'm walking on clouds. Thats one of the nice things about this hobby. No matter how long you've been doing it, there's always something new every year to surprise you with. It never gets old.
