    Nice! I knew she'd have babies soon. Looks like you got a variety. Same sort of variety I see where your trio was caught. I have several big females of the black with yellow stripes variety, all fat sausages expecting babies soon. There's something about the simplicity of the bright yellow crisp clean stripes on black that I find appealing.

    For some reason they're not selling at all. (well, Mikem got a few) I don't get it. They're awesome snakes. Perhaps too many people have a prejudice against WC snakes. There's a lot of erroneous reasons I get from people that think they're somehow inferior or unsuited for captivity. Nothing could be farther from the truth.

    My guess would be that when it comes to Pugets most people only want the blue phase, I know I do.

    I think part of the problem is that we don't have a morphological primer for Pugets. Obviously people want the blues, but do blue parents make more blue snakes? Can non-blue parents make blue snakes? I'll take some non-blues if I can at least get some blues from them in the future but I have no idea if it works like that.

    In my particular case, I just bought a 2012 blue female. I feel like it would be a waste of her potential if I didn't pair her up with a blue male.
