Well, I'm hoping she'll have lots of babies. I have her in with this male, I don't know if any other males got to her before I found her though. I think I caught her just as she was coming out of hibernation...
I will post this picture in the Easterns I have met thread...

Re: Pale male
Thanks. But that leaves me wondering how much less melanin than normal they have to have in order to be called hypomelanistic? Because isn't there a whole range of melanin levels between normal and amelanistic? I don't care in regards to this snake (I like him regardless), but I am curious.

Re: Pale male
that is a very pretty lightly colored male. I'm leaning towards he just a very pretty light colored snake, and not an actual hypo. Maybe if you posted a few more pics though, because if you take a crappy photo of MY hypo eastern, she comes out looking darker than she really is. None the less he has good genes!!!

Re: Pale male
well the two of the five that were not growing much and seemed a little less willing to survive have died as I expected, but the remaining three are skyrocketing in growth and will take ANYTHING I hand to them, and the smallest of the three can now eat whole day old pinks. The other two are still scared to try that
