Congratulations Wayne, another successful breeding. I love the one with the darker markings he is very pretty.

I did notice that the amounts of melanin vary greatly from extra light to extra dark.

I may be biased, but this mom is one very beautiful "normal" eastern.

Since the flame trait is a simple co dom, I will be breeding her to my male flame this spring.

What do you get if you breed these with flames?

A percentage of flames with varying degrees of red.

Some will get the trait and others will not.

Can't believe I haven't congratulated you sooner but here goes, congratulations on all the babies Wayne :D are you releasing or selling or both?

Since both mothers were wild snakes that were in my back meadow while mowing was going on, I feel strongly about returning a good percentage of the snakes to the property.

These are litters that would have been part of the local population had I not interfered.
