Also, Bob's a guy, so... more than just a new kitty calendar required. :P

I feel like bamboo is pretty desired, but it doesnt have the hype that other genes do currently. At least that is my take on it.
I love bamboo, i just got one a month ago for a pretty excellent price. I like how unique they are for being a single gene snake.

I am interested to see where the price point on them will go, if they will eventually be as cheap as other b.e.l. makers, ie mojave ,lessers. We shall see.

American Made Exotics also has some nice looking bamboos, and they are great to deal with

I picked up a mature male Bamboo last year for $1,200. I'm in the process of breeding him to several females, I should have some Bamboo hatchlings available this fall if all goes well. That male Bamboo locks with just about everything I put him with and locks for at least a day or two at a time, just stuck in the locked position so much I can't even rotate him LOL. I should get some good clutches from that boy. He has the best color and pattern I've ever seen in a Bamboo, one of the reasons I paid a little more for him. I'm pairing him with a big Lesser female so I should get some BEL Bamboo Lesser combos if I'm lucky. I think Bamboo is very similar to a Spider but without the wobble. It's one of my favorite morphs.

I'd love to see the results! If you don't mind, please post pictures of the hatchlings (once you have some).

maybe in terms of looks(?) to u but totally different genetics. don't go around repeating that like the gospel tho.

I think the bamboos are beautiful. I would love to have one. But I gotta behave. I have a feeling that would definitely be my next choice, ;).

Oh what a coincidence, a buddy of mine picked up a Bamboo earlier lol, let's just say he's got big plans for him.

I think bamboo is actually quite popular, especially now that more is being done with it an stuff like Bamboo leopard and Bamboo special show what can be done with it (just to name a few)

What really matters is that the Bamboo is a BEL complex animal and really washes out pattern and colors of a lot of morphs and a lot of people like the colors and busy patterns... Here are a couple examples.
