The one that got away....

I found this little male in a shipment of 1,000 baby nicaraguans....and in the first bag!!.....His brother was in it as well but he was more normal c.a. motley looking....I couldnt afford both so I just bought him.....and later sold him!!!
This was for sure a keeper....this is the male that founded Snakekeepers red motley line.....don't worry I am still kicking myself......

He was born probably a week when this photo was taken...I almost missed him as he was soooo dark as a newborn and in deep shed ...then he shed and this is the photo right after.
