Long complicated back story but bottom Line, last year Bill Kirby agreed he "owed" me a het coral albino pos het anery female and would send it when weather allowed. At the time it was simply too cold to ship. Time went by and honestly, I think we both forgot or at least was nowhere near the front of our minds. Any ways, he sent me an email in reply to some post or another on KS letting me know he'd send her to me soon. Last week a package arrived from Bill. Of course I knew it was coming since he emailed me the tracking info. I opened the box and pulled out the bag. I could instantly tell there was something not quite as expected.......there was a second bag under the first!! Yes, Bill not only sent me the one, but made it a 1.1 for me.

Thank you Bill for not only following through, but adding in a nice little extra for me.

I once ordered a pair of Lloyd Lemke stock Black Pine snakes from John Cherry of Cherryville Farms. He sent me 1.1 plus threw in another Male. Well, I do not know which male was the extra one, but while all of them are great examples of their species, one of the males is Solid Black w/ no pattern ( some pattern is minutely visible in direct sunlight.) The remaining two Other's have very slight pattern in sunlight as well. The one male just turned out to have the least visible pattern on any of the Black Pines I own. They will be out crossed to a bloodline from Al Swanson of Staten Island Serpents.

Only time that happened. John Cherry is a very good and knowledgeable person, in regards to many different colubrids.
