Just wanted to know if you have any more pics of the Mystic and belly shots?

Thanks,
Ed & Des Kane

amen to that....

I don't have a belly pic in my gallery yet, I'll do that later when I get a minute. The Mystics have small flecks of pigment randomly on the belly much like what you see on a Yellow Belly, I call these marks "ticks" for lack of a better word.. Overall the belly is what I would consider a clear belly (with the belly markings mainly on the outer edge of the belly scales) as these marks/ticks are nothing extreme or numerous but regardless these marks are not found on Mojaves as far as I know/have seen, yet another reason I think this line is some form of a Phantom.. I looked at RDR phantoms in Chicago @ Tinley a few years back at Ralph's table. Ralph was kind enough to let me look close at one of his phantoms, this was about a year before I bought my Original Mystic. From what I recall the belly on RDR phantoms is not like a Mojave belly and is laid out more like the Mystic belly.. Mojaves have a very consistant/ predicatable belly with not much variation, unlike Mystics or phantoms which have a variable belly with random "ticks' in the belly scales like the Yb's do. Once Mystics are linebred to each other it will answer everything I need to know.. The pic with 2 Balls is a Mojave (larger one) and a Mystic baby intended to compare the 2 lines.

Here, this will do.. Pic #1 is the 06 Mystics I produced. The last 2 pics are of my CB 2005 Mystic male, top view, belly view.. The belly pic represents the Mystic line very well. You can make your own conclusions as to what the Mystics will do down the road. Anthony McCain-McCain's Reptiles.
