Unusual Elaphe schrencki
This guy was going to be a future breeder, but I've got 3 males now, so need to thin the ranks a little. He hatched last year from a pair of LTC wild caught adults that were collected in China. Since he was imported from China, I don't know what the parents looked like, but he already looks different from my European line schrencki and has a higher band count. Most of his siblings looked more typical, so he was my holdback since he stood out from the group. The supplier in China offered schrencki and anomala separately, so misidentification doesn't explain his distinct look. I'm not sure how he'll develop as an adult, but it should be interesting. He has the typical mellow schrencki temperament and is feeding very well on thawed fuzzies. SOLD
