Acquired from a collection downsizing in June 2024
Original source: Unknown
Est. D.O.B. 2019??
Sasha was a part of a collection that was being downsized. A friend and fellow breeder knew I worked with the species and was able to get her to me. She was not from the original breeder so her real birth date is unknown.
She seems to have a fairly easy-going temperament so far. She has bright coloration that I believe will be a nice high red once fully mature. I really like how dark her markings are and the black zippering on her belly.

Purchased from Snakes Unlimited in October 2022
Likely from Sandro Dipinto / Crutchfield line
D.O.B. fall 2020 (est.)
Negan was my first DRMB and my motivation for wanting to get more of the species. He has a very curious personality but can be a bit of a troublemaker. I did not get him from the original breeder so actual birth date is unknown but I estimated him to be about 3 when I got him.
Currently he is going through an awkward teenage color change but I anticipate him being bright orange with dark pattern as an adult.

Glen is out of Tom’s calico line but we won’t know if he is going to exhibit calico until he is 3+ years old. Glen is brother to Lucille.
I really enjoy this guy’s easy-going personality. He took to eating mice upon arrival which was greatly appreciated.
Recently, while he still has an some orange on his underside, I believe he is going to be pastel as an adult.

Lucille is out of Tom’s calico line but we won’t know if she is going to exhibit calico until she is 3+ years old.
She has an active personality and seems to enjoy coming out of her enclosure for interaction. She stubbornly stuck to anoles for her first couple months with me.
Recently, while she still has an orange jaw (indicating she should be an orange or red phase), she is taking on more pastel coloration.

Maggie is out of Mount Pleasant’s high red pair. Her parents (D'Artagnon & Athena) were originally from Rich Rang.
Her true color is a rich burgundy which is remarkable at her age. I really am excited to see how she colors up as an adult.
