The normal is outstanding. I wish I could get that coloration in a ball. Especially the eyes.
Honest, I only need one more ...

Mussurana is the common name for snakes in the genus Clelia, which these used to be in until they got changed to Boiruna maculata. They're still called mussurana and sometimes false mussurana.
Congratulations John, you just made many many "wish-lists" a bit longer!

These kind of fell in my lap. A fellow bought a couple garter snakes from me and asked what else I kept. When I got to the female maculata he offered me these in exchange for some more garters. I had to dip into my holdback reserves but it was worth it!

BTW, while I'm not generally a big fan of pied (with a lot of white) or albino snakes, I really love the face coloration (silver-gray) on your super.
Can you "make" me one that's all that color... purdy-pleeze?

I wish, but you do get that color for a few days every shed cycle, haha. A neat tidbit about pied maculata, it's a naturally occurring trait. A WC super male is the founding parent for a lot, if not all, of the captive lines. I've also found a picture of a roadkill pied that someone took in San Javier, Santa Fe.
