New guy on the block - Black Head Mojave Red Gene

So after a few months of paying on this guy, the Fed Ex fairy delivered him this morning. He had a long trip all the way from Austria, to Kentucky for a few months, then to Maine. I am just wowed by how beautiful this boy is. He has some big plans with us in the future with a few extra nice ladies. I hope you all enjoy the photo's, and sorry I don't have any napkins for the drool ;)

Added in a few of his future ladies, our Super "Duper" Pastel from Albey Scholl, and our Trick from Dan Wolfe. I think these are some great pairs for him.. don't you? :)

He's stunning! Congrats!

He is a stunner - but you just broke quarantine. :rolleyes:

Love the color gradient as you move up his side!

Absolutely stunning guy! That pastel is extremely nice as well.

Awesome snake. I'm definitely a fan of the black head stuff. Congrats.

I know, I know. Didn't realize I had him with others until I had taken the pictures, was caught up in the excitement.

And Thanks everyone! He is a looker for sure. :)

I'm not against quarantine, but have always wondered......what about reptile shows? All these different breeders with table after table of all different types of reptiles. Does this bring up any concerns? It's kind of like one big collection.....

That's pretty much the reason for quarantine once it reaches your personal collection.

I basically assume the animal has come into contact with other animals I can't examine so there needs to be an extended period of monitoring to make sure no unpleasant surprises are incubating inside.
