I may not have said that right. I meant, I hope you're around to witness them hatching so you can take pics to share

Oh, sorry usually I can catch them hatching as it takes usually 24 hours or so for them to hatch....

Those are really cool pictures of thing laying that egg. I need to spend more time on this forum, I totally missed this thread. Yeah, I'm a big fan of the natural stuff my self. I'm working with several different localities of Cal kings here in Southern CA. Mostly kings I found in the wild. My favorite project is a desert phase hypo I found in 2005. I bred her in 2010 and held back a male het to hopefully prove out the hypo gene next year. In the mean time, I'm hoping its a recessive gene, but I'm pretty sure it is. My plans are to keep this line locality pure.

And I'd love to have some Ross!

Ross, your site keeps getting better and better man! I just checked out all those breeding pics from the past really cool pairings the past few years. I didn't catch if you paired up your Grease Kings this year or not. I like those too! Hope all works out on that hypo project, that is a killer desert phase hypo! Hopefully it's genetic.

Thanks a lot! The site has been a lot of fun putting together and I'm always finding new things to add. At first, all it was going to be was my Cal king finds over the past several years, but I decided to add other herpers pictures, and just kept expanding from there. Yeah, I hope its genetic too. If not, I will be surprised. I have a trio of wild caught Grease kings I bred just this past week. Go to this link and scroll down to "2012 pairings".

My captive breeding - Southern California Kingsnakes

John, My friend has a trio of these hets that should be ready to breed next year too. We will probably hold back the first hypos we produce, but the fallowing year, those we will let go for sure.
