A Nice Greenie Holdback

mheidka Aug 05, 2007 12:57 PM

I got a small clutch from some highly anticipated first-timers. Only one was green, and the rest orange; but one is better than none.

I resisted holding back the entire clutch, and just settled on these two.

Nice animals Maria. I especially like the pattern on the orange. Hopefully they'll produce many more nice clutches for you.

Incredibly nice snakes. Nice head patterns, too. Congratulations and good luck with them.

Very nice Maria. I know the feeling. I wish I could hold back more of them too. I checked them all out on your website. I held back a reduced pattern one also. It's very similar to yours.

Fantastic looking snakes Maria. Those would definately be holdbacks here as well. I'm just a sucker for the greens, and that reduced pattern orange one is smokin'. Great job.

...the sire to this clutch is LMT01M....meaning he is the first thayeri that I added to my collection years ago which started the whole addiction, so I was so pleased to finally see his offspring. I know you like the greenies, too. Despite all the bright colors out there; greens are my favorite and they remain my primary intent.

I am usually disappointed when they are not all bright orange. Needless to say, I like the orange one best, though both are very nice looking!
