They look awesome man. I think most snake keepers, somewhere along the lines, have had a soft spot for tri-colours.

What are your future plans with them?

Thank You One and All for the kind comments.

Westley, the initial plan and trick is to try to breed them in this coming season.
Rolf has told me straight out that the Female has a history of producing slugs.
So I will see if I can get that to change.
Sometimes something as the difference in Climatic Conditions, even just from Waterfall down to Durban, triggers a difference.
I will also breed both males to her, and see what happens.

Other than that I don't have anything specific planned.
If you have any ideas for next season, please feel free to share.

I also don't know how many of these are currently in the country.

Tobias, you can try Rolf Dennison who is on the Forum.
Alternately try and reach him at Ultimate Exotics.

Yip, when Rolf advertised these, I was expecting Normal Ruthvens.
What an awesome bonus to get Albinos.
