Nice granite Nick. But then again all your granites are nice!



Working only with the P thalassinus for the last 8 years, I've

never had the opportunity to work with their cousin sub

species (P mearnsi). I'm curious if you find them nervous

because you don't mess with them or if it's due to them

being wc and flighty from the start? If cb I would be some

what surprised that they are so nervous.



Ninety nine percent of my thalassinus are cb and mostly

produced by me. I have introduced new blood lines through

the years for better/newer DNA though. Most of my cb

are really calm and pretty easy to handle but once in a blue

moon I do find one of those Nervous Nelly's so to speak.



Here's a photo I just took of one of my P thalassinus females

and as you can see she's presently in full blossom mode.



A few years ago I produced my first melanistic thalassinus

to the baja blue rock world. I dubbed this color phase the

"baja black rock lizard" and just last year I produced an

entire melanistic clutch from this dark phase female shown.



I'd love to see a better photo of the mearnsi if you should

get the opportunity.



Thanks,

John
