Your Questions Answered
What does "Citrus Leopard" look like as an adult?
The Citrus base provides a bright, clean yellow background color. The Leopard gene modifies the pattern, reducing the alien heads into a scattered, speckled, or "pied-like" pattern of darker pigment. The result is a high-contrast snake that maintains its visual appeal into adulthood.
Is this snake breeding-ready?
This is an adult animal. While we cannot guarantee breeding condition for every individual due to variables in keeper husbandry, animals of this size and age are typically of breeding size. We recommend a quarantine and conditioning period upon arrival before introduction to a breeding project.
How do I set up the enclosure?
Provide a secure 40-gallon minimum enclosure with a thermal gradient: 88-92°F warm side, 78-80°F cool side. Use a UTH with a thermostat for belly heat. Include a snug hide on each end, a water bowl for soaking, and proper humidity (50-60%, with a spike during shed). Aspen or coconut husk substrates work well.
