Lucretia is a litter mate of Oenomaus, and to see their parents, please refer to her brother's profile. Without further adieu, I bring you the lovely Lucretia.

Great color, and some unusual side markings!

Thanks! Cliff, those side markings... is she considered a "double dot" because of the two lateral dots below the side markings?

Somewhat. I have several Brazilians that display that pattern as well, but it is not a trait that I actively pursue...no real market compared to some of the other pattern options.....

What are your favorite pattern options? I wonder what'll be next, after zebra - or candy striped. Somethin' crazy like triangular lateral markings..... or diamonds! Yes! I'm going to create a Diamond™, then cross it with a Pearl and call it my Treasure® line!

You heard it here first, folks!

Whew! I am stoked! Treasures®!

Keep in mind that the Brazilian Rainbow market is *very* young with regard to pattern morphs. Even basics like the pearl or bullseye have yet to be 100% proven, much less new and still not understood items like zebra/candy. So to think beyond that is hugely speculative..... Patience, my friend! ;-)

I completely understand not proven, etc. But like I understood you to say, this is only the beginning! BRB's are pretty new still. That's what makes thinking beyond the Pearl, Candy and zebra so much fun!

There's some debate on that. Personally, I'd never house two snakes together. I know I've read about it being done with Rainbows in particular, but all snakes are solitary animals.

If you had given me a 100% yes, I would have bought one of Zeus' siblings haha

Most keepers and breeders subscribe to the view that separate is better (myself included). Co-housing *can* be done, but only under very special circumstances and under the supervision of a highly experienced and attentive keeper.

Agreed Cliff. Best rule of thumb, together only for mating.

I would not keep 2 of any snake together. 1 you need to seperate ever feeding, enter the cage their is 2 potentially striking head to worry about. and somtime **** happens and why take the risk.
