I would have to agree 100% with you on that as well. Even totally non-snake people are awed by the killer coloration of the extreme hypo tangerines.

When I was about 8 years old or so in the 70's, an older kid in the neighborhood had a small Scarlet King in an aquarium, when I laid eyes on this thing, I was absolutely AWE-STRUCK by the insane beauty of it's colors and ringed pattern. It looked as though it was hand-painted by a Mexican artist.

I just KNEW I would have to be owning some of THOSE suckers in the future..LOL!. I know you can relate to stuff like that when you were a young kid too. I will NEVER forget seeing that first Scarlet kingsnake up close in person.
