then to now... :)

just got some new pics of my four youngest carpets, and I thought I'd post old pics of when I first got them so everyone can see how much they'll change...

sarah - 50/50 jungle




gizmo - red phase coastal - you can tell how faded out and typical the coastal head pattern is, but look at how much it's changed...










jack - possible genetic striped jungle




sally - possible het stripe jungle






and then some good ones that aren't carpets... the albino green - peaches




and then katie - almost a year old now for her...



thanks...

WOW!!! What fantastic yellows on your jungles!!! I was looking at a JCP, but don't like the muddied, or brownish ones. How pretty and bright yours are!


(What's the 50/50?? does that mean jungle and Irian or something else?)


Thanks for sharing the pics. All of your snakes are very pretty!

Thank you... There are quite a few really yellow ones out there. In fact, I would say mine aren't all that yellow compared to others I've seen... But I'm sure glad you like them...

The 50/50 is similar to the 50/50 california kingsnake (50% black, 50% white - instead of banded like others)... so instead of having the normal bands and spots like the others, she's 50% black, 50% yellow... I don't know if it's genetic, but she's definitely different...

I SOOO wish gabbies weren't HOTS. I think they're absolutely amazing looking and I want one... Just knowing myself I don't want to be making that fast paced rush to the ER... lol.

Sarah is beautiful!!!!!! If she stays on track, she will really blow your socks off in another year or two.


Where did you pick up your red phase coastal???? That thing is HOT!!!

[Blake_Herman]

Thanks, I've actually been so lucky with all of my carpets... They all come from vendors at shows that didn't know where they came from, and didn't really knew what they were. In fact, with the red phase in particular, the guy that was selling it thought it was a bad thing that it was red, and he took $20 off so I would buy it...

I'll definitely stop by and introduce myself at the may show... Maybe you'll remember me, I've talked with you a few times at shows... Anyways, the coastal that I'm trying to find is going to be the red phase's mate... so I need something good, and I have somewhat of a stripe fetish... So that makes your coastals right up my alley...
