I have a clutch of baby hypomelanistic Banded Water Snakes(
Nerodia fasciata pictiventris) born 08/05/09 for sale. All of them show varying degrees of hypomelanism; none have any real black on them at all, and some have very intense reds and gold coloration that gets brighter with each shed. All are feeding regularily on strips of fresh Salmon, Tilapia or Croaker from the supermarket, taken right from my fingers, and they will also readily accept scented frozen/thawed pinkies, although they could easily be switched totally to unscented pinkies. Other breeders have proven this form of hypomelanism to be co-dominant, so there is a lot of potential with these guys, in terms of developing new morphs. Contrary to popular belief, Water Snakes are NOT vicious, nasty, untamable snakes; even my large recent wild-caught adults have tamed down to the point that I can let young children hold them. None of these babies have ever tried to bite or strike, and neither has their mother, so they will make great pets as well as an interesting and unique breeding project. Their care is the same as that of other Colubrids.
This is the mother of the clutch(NOT for sale).
I'm asking $45.00 each, or $75.00 for pairs while the girls last, plus shipping via FedX.
