They are all very nice and you know msp's are my favorite. I really like the last one. The last one is perfect, banding bright yellow orange contrast, perfect. Did you keep that one?

Rick,

Why did you let those "white" leonis thayeri's go? Purple Haze maybe? Ha! Ha!

Nice photo of your VAR-B-02 female...

She lives on with in this 2005 female offspring from her...

Every year I say I am keeping one and then I don't. I can't help it, the bright red-orange ones suck me in.

She is still a beauty even if she is more buckskin now, I love those bright saddles and I'm a head spot guy myself.

Rick,

Is it a case of the "Red Eye"?

I like her buckskin look and the red saddles with her vanishing centers...leonis heaven to me. She's been a private feeder...

She seems to prefer to eat in the dark after the feeding session is complete for everybody else and after I leave the room and turn out the lights. I check on her before I go to bed and her F/T'd fuzzy is always gone...

Likes being handled though...a real sweet heart.

Later,

Those are all blinding orange. But #1 looks like you set it on fire, i love the white borders around the saddles. Please tell me you kept #1.

He was one of three I battled back and forth on, I settled on this one over him in the end.

Well I can understand the dilemma, I would have kept them both...lol.. But I do see why you chose this one, the abberancies are awesome. Has he retained the orange color?

Michelle

Rick Millspaugh Jan 20, 2007 12:26 AM

So far he has. He hasn't been a great eater yet though. I probably should have kept them both for a while at least

How sick was you when those slipped through your fingers? I know you were not feeling well when you shipped those beauties off.

And I'll bet there are a few good folks out there who are pleased that you don't. You know how much I like those light, bright beauties!

nice critters Rick. Ended up getting a pair of albino rosys during Christmas. Still no joy with the one female.

Are these your holdbacks?

Russ

Rick Millspaugh Jan 20, 2007 12:24 AM

Can't keep them all.

Are you cooling her? I'll email on her.
