San Diego Gopher Snakes

A baby San Diego gopher snake. These are all the albino "Applegate" strain.

Here's a closeup of a baby San Diego gopher snake.

Here's the first baby to pip from its egg.

My female laid her first clutch of eggs during July of 2003. Of course, she disregarded her readily-available nest box and laid the six eggs right on the newspaper. She laid another clutch of four eggs about six weeks later. I have been handling her regularly and found that she is becoming much more calm than she used to be.

Here's my female November 2002. She's showing off that incredible tail of hers. She and the male were both pretty excitable when they were young. She has calmed down a bit since then. I'm hoping for actual "calm" in another year or two. :)

Here's my female again in November 2002. You can see that her head has a lot more orange color to it than the male pictured below.

Here's my male November 2002. I think that these kids are big enough to breed this winter so I am going to put them in my basement for a cool-down for a couple of months. They don't seem to ever intend to quit eating.

Here's the female in 2000 when my friend first got her. She was so tiny. If I remember right she came in a little 16 oz deli cup.
