The man in the overalls in the third photo is Tom Moisi of Cal Poly Pomona, holding a female lineaticollis that is the mother of nearly all those in captivity in the US.

>>The man in the overalls in the third photo is Tom Moisi of Cal Poly Pomona, holding a female lineaticollis that is the mother of nearly all those in captivity in the US.

FWIW that image was mine and was stolen and put into someone's photobucket account. I object to this as no credit is given the photographer, Scott Solar.

This huge female is the mother of roughly half the babies in the USA. He HAD two founder females, both produced both years. He has since sold them off to non-reproductive venues. This means the founders will not compete with all you pit-ophiles that spent large money on the babies.

For the record his name is Thom Moisi. He is a big guy. That snake is far larger than it seems in the image. Not 122" but definitely husky and a full 8-9 foot.

The top picture is of Ricky Walters & a northern pine and the next one is of Craig Trumbower with one of his bulls, the third someone else recognized as Tom Moisi.
