Mike, that's what I thought too-Bumblebee x lab burm-funny, but leave that cross to Kevin!

Re the comments above and feelings re people not believing in this particular look-I don't think that way-I think more it just reflects that there are always animals that do something for whatever reason for people-and that's why there are "turtle" people or "lizard" people or green tree python fans etc etc. There are many times that I'll pick a snake let's say out of a clutch of babies I really like-and if I ask someone "which one do you like?" and rarely does he/she pick the one I liked. I think that is a very fascinating thing-how each of us view animals, paintings, cars, etc etc. The cool thing about snakes is that the variation usually covers a ton of tastes-the amazing variability in a group of snakes then attracts a wide group of people-this is a good thing. I remember quite a few times when I have either shown people directly at a show or at our place or sent animals to people that when they saw them, they said "wow this is so much neater than I thought it would be from the pictures etc." The spot-nose project is a great example-quite a few people have written me about the spot-nose, (though in reality few people have ever actually seen one-which is my fault more than anything; because I have only taken two babies, one time, to a show I think!), but it looks like the super will elicit a lot more of that-"wow that looks cool" response, which will have people give the spot-nose itself a second look.
