Chronological pix of my Summit Salmon...

rainbowsrus Nov 21, 2006 04:14 AM

Thanks everyone for your kind words both on and off KS.

My Summit Salmon was born on 05/27/2005 at Summit Reptiles. When the litter was advertised less than a month later I picked out a male. I liked this one for it's clean look and the aberrant pattern mid body. In hindsight, this was one of my best purchases, he has just gotten better and better with each shed.

Here are several pics of him in all his glory:

Unfortunately most of my earlier pics were lost in a HDD crash

This pic was taken 09/21/2005 at almost 4 months old,

This one's from 04/06/2006:

A body shot from 04/11/2006:

This next group were taken 05/18/2006, almost 1 year old:



(ooopps, I mistakenly labeled the above pic in a earlier post as being of my Salmon Possible jungle)


These last two are from 11/06/2006, he was looking insanely bright.

Thnks for looking.

He is truly awesome!
I remember looking at that litter and drooling. I was bummed because I didn't have the cash. By the time I had some coin to spend again, they were all sold! That seems to happen too often..
I wonder who ended up with the sire? That seems to be where all of the "special" comes from. I think Boas2Balls had him on a loan, and then what?
Whoever has him, I hope they make some babies with him.

Thanks, I was one of the lucky ones who had enough coin to buy one when they were available Of course, now I wish I had bought more.
At the time I was getting one from here, one from there building my breeding colony.

Laura (boas2balls) did have hime for one year and bred him to two of her females (that I know of) I have a 2.2 from her summit x cherry litter.
They are screamers as well but different looking than the summit, more red. I don't know where he went afterwards.
I'm hoping my male picked up his fair share of the "special" !!!!

These are my 2.2 "Cherry Salmons" I bought from Laura. I first saw them pre shed and bought all she would part with.
I believe the gamble paid off........

See what happens when you give a rainbow boa guy a boa constrictor.

He goes ahead and makes it orange.

This is the female I picked up from the same litter. One of the best boa buys I've made.

my SUMMIT salmon het for Sharp albino. I have recently scaled down my already tiny collection and this beauty is sadly moving to Canada. But it has been awesome watching her develop into such a beautiful snake. Thanks Brandon for producing such amazing animals.
