How is old Lemon Head doing and has he been bred at all?
I hope you are able to produce babies down from him in the future and capture his genetics!
He is stunning!
Any new pics of him?

I found him a female that was just as nice but he did not make it through quarenteen sorry to say. I just got back into town a few days ago and found him belly up. On the bright side looks like my Pseustes is gravid! The other female yellowtail does have a nice mate to compliment her. I will be sending her to Don Bordner for breeding once she is out of quarenteen...........Bill

I'm sorry for your loss!
Don does have a very nice male and you should get some nice high yellow babies!
Good luck.

He was a great looking animal! I'm glad to hear you and Don ironed out a breeding loan, as such should set an example of what can be accomplished when we all cooperate.
Also, I believe Bobby meant "WE" should receive nice high yellow babies from such a breeding, as in You, Don, Bobby and myself! ;0) Just planting the seed and I am certain I will hear from Don shortly!

Best regards,

Jeff

Here she is in her gravid plumage notice the orange around eyes and throat. I have wanted to produce these for the last 15 years. Fingers crossed. She just hooked up a week ago.

I have three YT males that look just like that female. She is a beauty for sure. That Blue Rock lizard is also stunning!
I haven't seen one that nice in a LONG time!

Thank you for the compliments. Yes she is suposed to be Cabo stock. I will snap a pic after she has been basking much more blue. The yellowtail female is around six feet and eats like a horse. Once she is up to speed I will ship her to Don but it would be nice to plug her into one that looks like her.

Your breeding her with Dons snake should make babies that are high yellow and a bit lighter throughout the body. I have two that look just like your snake. One is of breeding size now. After Don's boy does his thing, you are more than welcome to let my boy have a crack at her!

Thank you. How is Sunshine doing. I would like some offspring from my female and Sunshine some day.......Bill

She's doing excellent! Thanks for asking.
She is nice and plump and waiting to be bred.
I'm hoping she produces some nice ones for us all!

Take care

Jeez, Bill,

Is that the female Petrosaurus from Cabo? GREAT looking animal!! The YT isn't bad either! ;0)
