I finally got the chance to take pictures of my new babies, so here they are....
First the male, Jim:
I'm loving that reverse stripe...I've got a feeling he's going to be a nice rich red
And here's Pam, who is unlikely ever to have Jim's babies:
Pam I believe will end up being a yellow adult. I've seen yellowish hatchling bloods that turn out reddish-brown, but I mean look at this snake...not a hint of red anywhere. I've got high hopes for her, and I'd really love if that maize pattern thing she's got going on in her background color stays with her as she matures. If I can find a male who looks like this, oh boy....I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
And of course this post wouldn't be complete without a picture or two of the one and only Daphne, because however worthless the big blood breeders think she'd be to breeding programs, she's still the coolest snake ever.
