These are newly born Coral-phase Columbian Boa X Redtail Boa hybrids. You're looking at 16 albinos and 16 "normals" (all HET for albino). All 32 were around 18" long at birth and are fat and healthy.

This is one of the oddities from this batch. It's considered a Paradox morph which means that it has albino AND normal characteristics. You can see that it looks like an albino with dark patches. After its first shed, this will be much more interesting.

Pigmy Rattlesnake.

Another Pigmy Rattlesnake. You can see the tiny rattle at the tip of the tail. Their rattle sounds kinda like the buzzing of a bee's wings.

I'm excited about these. This is a male albino Monocled Cobra. Mean little bastard.

Another pic of the male. As soon as we opened the container, he was fully hooded and ready for action.

This is the female Cobra. She was as calm as a cornsnake.

This is a Rhino Viper.

This is a Gaboon Viper. It boasts the longest fangs of any snake in the world. Two freakin inches long!!!

This is an albino Western Diamondback Rattlesnake. Beautiful animal. This particular snake didn't stop rattling the entire time we were in the room.
 
Absolutely fantastic. The rhino viper is beautiful, I love that species. There much difference in temprement to the gaboon? How much different are they husbandry wise? Do the rhinos like more humidity or is it the same?
How many male:females did you get with the boas?

Tyler blood would be normal. Not egg layers, they give birth to live young. I imagine you were covered in blood and everything that comes with it when you were born.
 
Thanks for the compliments!

I'm not sure about the husbandry and humidity requirements. I'm not a venomous snake guy. The owner of Ridgeway Reptiles (Zelph Ridgeway) is the one to ask about that. I will find out for you next time I see him.
