The thayeri color spectrum was conquered back in the mid-90s. Tim Gebhard took it as far as it could go and I believe that is still the case today. I vividly recall (intended pun) in '97 seeing at his facility laser orange/vermilion/peach MSP snakes with razor thin black to no black at all - I had to pick my jaw up off the floor. Prior to that, I had never seen such an extreme colored thayeri morph. I knew I couldn't improve on the colors so I always bred for pattern. A super speckled bright orange Leonis morph would be a very impressive snake......like a River Road alterna. Some of the Leonis patterns in the hobby are leaning that way.

I also envision a Leonis Milksnake combo morph (LeoMilk).....again like an alterna with a super speckled neck and blairs pattern starting halfway down the body.

I believe within 10~15 yrs someone will be producing these. I wonder which one of you will be the first. Let the race begin!
