First 3 litters born this week

[Jeff B]

Even though the litters thus far have been small, I'm counting my blessings as all babies were born very large and healthy with only one stillborns and zero jelly beans, so the males did there jobs. All of these babies are feeding extremely well on small night crawlers and fish, in fact they are eating so well that I will start adding pinkie parts into their diet in a week or so.
Thus far there have been 2 eastern litters, one with erythristic/flame het Mohr anerythristic x flame (these 3 are smokers already and will get more red as they mature), one melanistic and a Carteret Co. erythristic 66% het snow, and then 5 albino red-sideds and 2 het albino red-sided. There is also a close-up photo of one of the erythristic flames possible het Mohr anery. These snakes will all be for sale in a week or so when they are good and ready for new homes.

Jeff, very nice looking litters. That melanistic gene turned up for you. Congratulations

Thanks all, good to finally get a few babies on the ground, still hopefull for many other females, but you never know how things will pan out.
Yes Jason those are erythristic/flame het Mohr anerythristic (sire) x flame (dame), so in a way they are 75% flame blood and 25% erythristic blood, at least thats how I look at it, anyway you look at it they are "hopped up" flames from Carteret Co erythristic lineage and also I believe the Mohr anery genes have an effect on how the flames look based on the sire being solid orange and black. Below is a picture of the parents.
Yeah Randy I believe this proves out my erythristic albino is also het for melanistic, but I would have been nice to see some albinos and snows in the litter to, but for some reason she only had two babies??? so should see more melanistics and snows from other females. The nice thing is the melanistic is a female so I may end up keeping her, but will have to see what else pops out from other females.
