The Patternless male...
has got his dancin' shoes on! He's been biting and courting with the
ladies for the past two days, though no confirmed copulations yet. Timing is a bit off this year, since I received him mid-winter.
Things are getting pretty crazy; tops are coming off (off of humidity/nesting boxes) and aspen bedding is pushed around and ending up in water bowls. Every time I walk in the snake room, I'm butting in on a loving couple in the throws of passion! :-)
This project is SO exciting! It's the first pattern morph of Trans-Pecos Ratsnake to breed in captivity since the first Blondes bred for Earl Turner over 35 years ago!
*By the way, the Gray phase Pandale Paved subocs have been pairing up too!

We're putting him with this beautiful Silver girl, an Albino, and a Peach/Pink phase this season.
Thank you, Richard Trant, for sending this handsome bloke our way!
