Bonnie is a yearling (July/August 04) hypomelanistic

BCI. She was bred by and purchased from Gulf Coast

Reptiles. She was produced by a hypo x normal

breeding and comes from Rich Ihle stock a couple of

generations back. Chris and Sheila at Gulf Coast

Reptiles have been selectively breeding their normals

for their peach coloration as well as breeding the

hypo gene back into Colombians for size, temperament

and ease of care. You can definitely see evidence of

this in her. We've been handling her since she was

six months old and she is tame as can be!

Bonnie was selected because her perfect and unbroken

bowtie saddles will hopefully go well with the

arabesque trait resulting in salmon colored hypo

arabesques with thin and unbroken saddles. Clyde, the

05 arabesque, has already been purchased. Keep your

fingers crossed and hopefully we'll be seeing their

first litter in the spring of '08!
