Heres a pic of one of my two hatchlins (first time Milks breeding...Woo Hoo!!)
The parents were sold to me as Syspilia, but there was some who thought they may have been Tri-coloured Jungles..see what you think?

Here is one of the adults...It has slight belly checkering but the red splotch on the head...As do true Syspilia

Thanks Mark...I never even thought i would be able to breed them, but i have to say feeding has been problomatic...they are just SO small!!!
Glad to finally have them going...Can you tell me if it is common for the adults to go off feed as early as now?...Mine are getting fussy, fussy, fussy again!

They look right to me..Maybe even temporalis in there?
Nice!

Hey Scott.
i have alot more time and effort to put in with the wee guys before they would be ready to go to a new home..far to small and finicky at the minute. I havent sexed them yet, but it is possible i may keep a female for myself if there is one . I will let you know as the time goes on, but you can definitly have some next season if they breed??

Hey Pam,

Would you swat the two Red Hatchlings for Spotted and Het Mexican? They are sexed as a pair? Any ideas of the sex of the Reds?

Oh, another thing you might find usefull...They go off food from about now till feb......Such a pain!



Some Good News Pam. The experts have agreed it could be either two sub-species. One, Original Syspilia. Secondly Temporalis. I would stick to labeling them as Reds though. I quote;

quote:
Those are sweet! man!. That is a very tough call for me to say either way with absolute certainty though. Every time I look at them it could easily go either way..LOL!

They are definitely one or the other, or "could" even be some of both too I guess, who really knows.

But I can tell you with 100% certainty that they ae NOT some silly-ass "jungle" type hybrids for SURE!.

Those are DEFINITELY some nice snakes Scott, and certainly aren't just a whacky "hodge-podge" composite of different things. That is for certain!!

very nice,i like the head markings in the first pic.

Hi Pam,

I've fired them up on the American forum, who are the best at I.D'ing. So I'll let you know what comes of it. I thought you bought them as "Scarlet Kings", which we both agreed on at the time, they are most defernetly not them! The red saddles do fit into the category of 16-31 nicely.

Pales? If your interested in any rare sub-species contact this bloke.
