Updated Patience pics. Tricolor Hognose

[Charis]

Took my female sub adult Tricolor out for some updated pictures a few weeks ago.

She's really darkening up. Now weighing in at 79 grams.

What a delightful hoggie! Any difficulty with feeding her? (Is that how she got her name? LOL)
Was she C/B or W/C imported? (if you know?) And do you have a pair w/ breeding plans in the future? Thank you for sharing!

We have a cb US produced male and had imported a cb female from the Czech Republic but just as she got nearly big enough to breed, she died from an impaction.
That was the dumbest snake I've ever had, she was unhandleable and thought every single thing that touched her nose should go down the gullet, so that wasn't really a surprise but did set back our breeding plans.

A local friend imported a bunch of snakes at the same time, we went in on it together, so he produced Patience from his Czech Tricolors. Thankfully, though also very food motivated, Patience is not as singlemindly stupid as the first one. Our friend had a fair amount of trouble getting many of his babies to eat but once started, they are usually good eaters.

Nearly all of our snakes are named in themes, TV shows or books. Patience was in the the same theme as the male but it also seemed appropriate since I'd have to be patient with my breeding plans.
