Super nice snakes guys!! Roy, I love that wide white banded one!

thanks Katt!
Hilde, I have hatched them with yellow bands, but these are generally their baby colors. I have never seen an adult with the light band being yellow.
Pueblans like most milks look the very best the day they hatch. As they grow and mature the color shifts somewhat and the light band which may be yellow or Apricot usually fades and acquires some degree of black tipping.
Many generations of selective breeding has refined the color and symmetry in some lines of pueblans.
Specimens with a wide first white band over the head and nape have been coined "sock heads" but this trait is hit and miss and doesn't breed true.
I have been trying to reduce the black tipping, to produce nicer white, red and black snakes. I'm also going for more even symmetrical bands, with fewer missing red bands. Pueblans are almost never born with perfect bands, and many are missing the odd red band.
Some guys have even bred for this elimination of the red, calling the result Oreo Pueblans since they are mostly black and white.
Personally I don't see the point of this as the light band gets muddy with tipping and they never look half as nice as a good cal king, so why bother, but to each their own.
I must say there are few hatchling snakes that can bug my eyes out like a big clutch of pipping campbelli.. and that hatchling beauty is the only reason I still keep them. The fact they will have multiple clutches in a season, also means you get to see that splash of color in the incubator more than once..

When I picke dout my girl this summer the breeder had "oreo" pueblans in the cluth too. Mines seems to be getting bright, rather then duller.

This is my little girl, my very first snake. Let me tell you, she's MUCH calmer than she was as a musky, whippy little baby, but she's still HARD to get still enough to photograph!!!

Here's mine..

[Stockwell]

Rich, those are some fine campbelli... good band symmetry and clean white, but they're yearlings right?

[Katt]

You people are evil!! I am trying VERY HARD to NOT GET ANY MORE SNAKES, and you are showing off such beautiful snakes.

[DragnDrop]

I can't look anymore. I'm all drooled out.

[Manitoban Herps]

They look all too nice Lucky I found an 3 year old male breeder to go along with my female when she is older.

Roy, yes a yearling, but a beauty non the less, all the others are amazing too!
