Re: New Project
Those head spots kinda give him an evil eye look to him. He's definitely a cutie, and I love the colors. Do you have a girlfriend picked out for him yet?

Re: New Project
Actually that's a female. Unfortunately due to the holiday and illness I didn't quite jump fast enough and I only have 1 male, but I have 4 females. I bought the group from two different breeders and I wasn't fast enough to snap up a male from the other breeder. I'd like to acquire another nice male.
I didn't get good pictures of the male, but he's orange, black and red. He's in shed right now anyway, might as well wait for his new look :P
I will get better pictures when they've had more time to settle in.

I prefer my cal kings but my little variable is growing on me. They are all pigs though. Nice looking girl you have there.

Oops! :oops: I have no idea why I assumed it was a male. Can't wait to see the pics of him after the shed. :gj:
This is one of my favorites of the smaller kingsnake species...and that is a LOVELY(!!!!!!!!) little snake!
NICE SCORE! What's the scoop re: lineage, etc? Who produced, if you don't mind me asking? That's such a pretty snake...you should have lots of fun watching this one grow up!
NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

Re: New Project
Oh wow! I love him! Too bad in GA, you can't own kingsnakes of any kind - since king snakes are indigenous to the state.
Stunning looking animal, I can't stop looking at her picture!

Re: New Project
Russ Bates produced this girl and my buckskin female. I didn't ask the lineage on the girls I picked up from him. I should shoot him an email, he produced some really NICE thayeri this year (he is sold out). I spotted his ad on fauna.
Jonel M. Lopez of Selective Propagations produced my trio. The trio are out of VR (Vivid Reptiles) and Applegate stock.
