Deppi Jani hatching

It's been pretty quite on this forum, so I thought I'd share this pic.

heres another

These seem to be one of the "hot" pits to have in the last few years. I have never seen one in person. What is the draw to them? I am not trying to be insulting. They are beauties, but I have noticed a lot of the serious and semi-serious breeders with these in the last 3 - 5 years. What gives?

Congratulations on the hatch Jim!

I personally like their color and size.
As babies, they do not display their best color.
I have never raised any from hathlings, so I don't know when they start to change color.


But then again ...I like ALL the pituophis.

You have to see an adult. They look good as neonates but they are unbelievable as adults!!!! Check Jim's website and go to the nursery. You'll see mom on just as/after laying this batch. Some have an unbelievable orange color for the first third of their bodies. Congrats Jim on a great brood!
