    Melanogaster babies and parents

    Pictured are the adults that produced these offspring. Really like the heads on this species, they almost look like natracines. Interesting note is that 2 of he 4 babies reddish orange color has disappeared within days of being born. One of the females has retained the color, which you can see.

    Babies-first are the males



    Male 2:


    Female-Love the color on the belly:

    Very nice looking snakes.
    That adult female's body looks like a very large S.dekayi.

    Scott do you have to breed everything to the damn flame??? lol just kidding.
    That is way cool looking with the orange though, looks flamey, will probably just fade away as the snake ages don't you think? Will be interesting to see.
    Congrats on yet another first!!!

    Thanks everyone. OK, ok no more flame crosses (fingers crossed lol). It will be cool to see how they grow and mature into adulthood. I have one male that is an 09 that was a slow grower and is just now putting on some size too, he is olive green too.
