Mom is a red spotted phase, 2 babies have faint orange spots, 1 has yellow spots (keeper), and most of the rest are jet black with clean stripes. they will be available after they start feeding.

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 hear that. However, I am not charging blue prices, and these are large healthy young adults. Also, they're awesome snakes, blue or not. They look great as you can see. Since they're not blue would it help if I didn't call them pugets? (rhetorical, sarcasm) I'm still not good at all at figuring the market. It makes no sense to me. Last year I couldn't sell a blue concinnus for half what I charge now. This year I can't keep up with demand, and that's charging twice what I offered them up for last year.

You saw the pic and heard what Don said. "nice jet black baby, with clean stripes.... sweet!" And they are sweet. I have really big adult females like that. They eat carefully from your fingers, like to be held... the list goes on. Awesome snakes. Unfortunately I'm going to end up releasing some of the best ones I have. I'll keep some of course for myself but I can't keep them all. Summer with be over soon and I'll be heading back to CA.
