Lookie what I got!!!
So.....Spent my one day off at the Reptile Super Show in San Diego. Intent on only bringing home feeders and some bigger hides for the snake faces. Had such a great time! Started to talk with this nice guy with Balls. Saw a few carpets off to the side. He asks me what snakes I have so I go through the group. He says "oh take a look at this carpet". Me thinks "ok but I'm not buying anything"  Then he opens the box...ugh! Love at first sight! He goes on to tell me it's a Highlighter line Jungle. Whatever that is, lol! Then I made the mistake of picking it up. So calm and docile, just hung on my wrist while I was talking to the guy and he was looking up the info because it wasn't his snake. He didn't know how to sex it so he let me take it to a carpet guy. The guy popped and it's a boy...Yay! That's what I wanted. The guy that popped him happens to breed carpets so we talk a bit. He's like OH I love this Highlighter jungle and 3 others proceed over to tell me how lucky I am to pick him up. Yay Me!
So...whithout further ado...Here is my new addition, Grimes! 8months and all of 125g. He's so black and bright yellow. The outside pics capture his colors pretty well. He's settling in right now.
What do you experts think? I got him for a hell of a steal and I love him regardless!

Re: Lookie what I got!!!
Absolutely gorgeous boy you got there! Definitely a looker. If I'm not mistaken the highlighter line jungle carpets were originally produced by Bryan Hummel. They are a diamond x jungle cross giving them the unique coloration between the yellow strips.

Oh thanks for that BigLou! I tried to research and find out but didn't have much luck. Yes I did come across the Bryan Hummel name too but didn't know what it meant.

Re: Lookie what I got!!!
Beautiful new addition XCJ. My female jungle cross (Trinity) is from that Highlighter line also and was produced by Bryan Hummel. It appears that our coastals and jungles seem to be related somehow. I know our coastals are half brother and sister. I guess great minds think alike  .

I can see why you couldn't resist that beautiful boy. A stunner indeed!
The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

You are mistaken. I'm not sure of the snake's lineage, but the original Highlighter was a pure jungle male who belonged to Andrew Hare. Definitely no diamond in him.
