I feel fortunate to have even been able to locate the breeder of my other two pyros her age that I thought were her siblings.

Here she is as a baby:



She didn't look quite so radical then. It seems with my wide white banded 08 female I have something special. The older she gets the better she looks. I like the black, like what you would find in the wild if you lifted up a rock. Maybe my wide white banded girl is some sort of sport or natural mutation.

The reptile store I got them from has since changed hands, but I was able to contact the former owner, and hence the breeder. But the breeder didn't seem to think she was one of his. I recently bought two 09 pyros from this man, and he showed me his breeders going back 13 years, and none of them looked like my special baby with the big white bands.

Here is one of the 09 babies; in blue but shows the pattern common to his stock:
