Cole is in the process of buying a house, we know how that can go sometimes, and he needed me to keep a number of his milks and other animals at my house while he works on the house.
I thought it would be an opportune time to photograph a few of his choice animals while they're here. He keeps some of the most exceptional looking gentilis, syspila, and of course multistrata.

I'll start off w/ this outstanding nonlocality syspila female.
We plan to breed her to a hypo male next year.




St. Francois co. MO, odd looking buckskin color to this female.


Golden co. gentilis


Another Golden co. gentilis


How about this Golden co. screamer? This is a wish milk fo-sho.



Moving along to one of many neonate Rifle rd. taylori.


Doing it's best Cobra masquerade.


Speaking of nippy snakes. These dudes (Amazon tree boa) are mean and shamelessly nasty.

This guy struck at the camera after I got the shot, I screamed a little in surprise.


I had noticed the day before that these two needed their water bowl filled. So today I went to change it and it was gone. I think they ate it, or are sitting on top of it. I used the lid from the tub to block them from biting me, and put in a new bowl. Cole can fight w/ them for the other bowl.


Yeah, that's two disagreeable boa in the tub.


Let's go back to milks, Tree boa are mean.
Pale milk snakes....aaaahh

I wish I owned these three little jewels.
1. Cherry co. NE



2.


3.



Cole found this Pale as a neonate on one of our herping trips to the midwest. Thomas co. NE


I really like this group of locality Pines he keeps too.
Rancho Santa Barbara, Mexico. Pituophis d. deppei



I'll end here w/ a multistarta that we found this year in Yellowstone co.


And so he dosen't get to big of a head, this is Cole after a few drinks. -Dell
