Here's ZippoHe has not darkened up much since hatching. I was wondering when I can expect him to darken up as many have said he would, when I posted him as a hatchling. He is fast becoming my favorite snake. He now eats rat fuzzies! (he would only take mice.. tried a rat today, and it worked!) My goals now are to fatten him up, and possibly breed him this year.. I am holding his mom back to breed him back to. If I have to wait until March, if it takes that long to get him up to size, then so be it. I know that he is on the thin side now. But he took a nice meal today (and a nice dump right after eating, which is why I had to remove him from the tub to clean after eating.)
Him with a half-sibling (same sire, different dam.)
Him by his lonesome.
I love his little face!!!
