This killer little pair came from Michelle.The adult male is from My friend Eric in New York.
I really need a breedable female to go with him.

Hi Shannon

Nice pick up from Michelle and Eric. I was impressed by the cleanliness of the background color of that male when he showed me a pic. I'm glad he now resides in your collection. Show us some more pics of the other thayeri when you pick more up. BTW, I also enjoyed the milksnake series that you posted at the Milksnake forum. Although, I've noticed, it looks like you eat too many Pringles looking at some of your pics! hehe, jp. Thanks for sharing.

Shannon,
Very nice snakes, like most of yours are. Here's my only Thayeri. The Milksnake phase is the male.

I like your female.The male is cool too.

Jonel,
Yes,you have a good eye.The pringles containers are great hide boxes that are desposible.LOL....And they are good.

All there are nice but Dude that adult male is smoking! if I had an extra female I'd send her to you.

Thanks Tony, Yeah he is a real looker.

Michelle has some great Thayeri (L. leonis). I know the white(ish) and yellow ones are the current popular ones but I like the orange ones. The white ones are old school, bright orange took more effort (lol).

Michelle

Shannon, I don't know what I was thinking when i let those go...lol... They are beautiful, I love the way they are staying clean and the orange is staying bright.
The yellow male is outstanding too,
Thanks for the updated pic's.

Michelle

Yep,
I am glad you let this pair go to me.I really enjoy them and can't wait till they are adults.

Shannon,
What is Eric's last name? Do you know where he got that yellow thayeri from? They all look great but like Tony, the yellow male is the bomb.

Russ

Thanks Russ,
His last name is Kikel and he got him from Ken Catstevens (sp?).

Shannon

Gorgeous Thayeri Shannon. That yellow one in the last two pics is a beauty. I really love that one.

Steve

Thanks Steve,
I just love his looks also.I hope to pair him up this year with something nice.

Shannon

Do the yellow snakes get the yellow Pringles cans? And I would presume the orange ones get orange cans? LOL

Those are all some great looking snakes. At first sight I thought that yellow one was a Bodner baby. Yours is exceptional too.

Shannon

Shannon, is that third one down Hypo?...........very nice....different...........mike bodner

Hey Shannon. This is a pic of one of your pairs siblings that I got from Michelle. I've got another pair on the way. Man, Michelle has some smokin Thayeri! Looking at the pics of that male I can't believe I sold him to Eric. What the heck was I thinking? lol. I got him in as part of a trio. I still have the two females, but he will be missed.
Ken

He was the male I got in with the trio from the guy who had aquired them from Dick Bartlett. I lost his information, and can't remember his name right now. The female that you think might have been originally yours was in this trio.
Ken

that male looks familiar. I only produced a handful with that peach hood and Dick purchased a pair in 2004. I never have been able to get him to answer my email. That male sure turned out to be a looker. Glad you got him.
Russ

Yes, She has some smokkkkiiiinnnn stuff.
I think you should send me one of the females you got in that trio>LOL!!!!!!!!!!!

L8r Shannon

Sorry, but my green male already has dibs on them. lol. I didn't want to get rid of that male, but I was male high, and had to sacrifice. Man, he's a looker.
Ken

Those are some killer thayeri!! I'm really excited to see what that one with the reduced black looks like as an adult. I sure would like one like that in my collection. And the yellow on that male is great!
-----

I thought that snake looked familiar and after digging through my old photos I found it's picture in my archives. That male had significantly more peach on it than yellow at hatchling size. It really turned into a nice snake IMO.

I can send you pics of the mom/pop if interested Shannon. Pop came from Steve Little and the mom came from Gary Sipperly. Got the pair in 1998.

Enjoy
Russ

I would like to see the parents. Sipperly is one of the first reptile people I knew of. I still have a few of his old pricelists from the late 80's/early 90's.

Aron,
Here is the pair:

Female - notice that her pattern stops right at the neck line. This trait seems to be passed on to a percentage of the clutch. I've never kept track of that trait but plan to this year.

and the male

sorry, I'm being a doofus

Very nice, especially the male. I like the greenish tint he seems to have. I think the greenish gray ones spawned the yellow thayeri and the buckskin ones spawned the orange ones.

Thanks for posting them.

there is no green to that male..promise. For the first four years of his life he was the best looking yellow leonis I have ever seen. He's starting to show his age now but still breeds great. I've bred him to many different females over the years and I always get a percentage of really nice yellows like him. The trick is getting an equally nice female....that seems to be a challenge.

Russ

I believe you, no green. In pattern he looks alot like a male I had from Lloyd Lemke that was green so I guess I was just seeing things.

Nice work Russ,
I am glad its from sipperly and little stock thats great.

Thanks Shannon
