Asklepios (CB 2001) is a jungle carpet python (JCP) male from unknown stock.  Stated simply, Asklepios is an amazing animal.  He is massive, over 8 feet long, very easy going, and has some of the brightest yellow I have ever seen on a JCP.  His yellow is clean too, with virtually no smudging.  The bright yellow highlights coupled with his jet black background make him an awesome display animal (unfortunately these photos don't do him justice).   First photo (starting left) shows him at 3 years of age, middle one with Allosaurus skull replica in 2006 (that cage is 4 feet long).  The last photo to the right shows him at 6 years old (2007)...this guy is colorfast!                                                                         

Zalara (CB 2002) is a JCP from Don Hamper stock.  She has great velvet black, vivid yellow, and a classic jungle pattern.   These photos show her in different shades of light, first photo taken in 2005, middle photo in 2006, and last in late 2007.  She is holding her color extremely well into adulthood and post-partum.  ***I am happy to announce that Zalara has joined the elite python collection of David and BJ at RedTail Classics.  Stay tuned for information on their breeding projects with her in the future***

Aphrodite (CB 2004) is a female JCP from Doug Price stock.  She has a high ratio of yellow-to-black, a so-called "50-50" pattern.  This snake is YELLOW!  She is both beautiful and high strung, much like her Greek Goddess namesake.  First two photos taken in 2006, last photo 2007.

 

Ocho (CB 2007) is the only hatchling I kept from the 2007 clutch I produced from Asklepios (sire) and Zalara (dam).   My wife advised me to keep this one because she liked the symmetry of the pattern.  MAN AM I GLAD I LISTENED TO HER!!!  This snake is incredible with a totally clean pattern of deep black and vibrant yellow.  On left at 8 months old and right at one year old...it just doesn't get any better than this:
