New Male Leonis.............

APLAXAR Sep 07, 2007 10:28 AM

Hey All, i just got a new male from a Gentleman by the name of Russ Bates, this guy is really neat looking when i opened the box there was a glow comming from the deli cup, its really hard to capture on the camera so i took some pics in three different types of light, the Florecent in the kitchen, the camera flash and in the morning sun.

...a Vivid. Here's one of her daughters.

MichelleRogers Sep 08, 2007 04:25 PM

I thought so. She has that high contrast. I really love the VR msp's. Her daughter is beautiful also.

He is super clean, I can't wait to see how he matures. Russ throws some extremely nice yellows every year.

Ooh.. I go crazy over reduced patterns! That is one great looking little snake! The first picture makes it appear a little green... is that just the lighting, or does it have some green hues?

Looks similar to my little Fezzik:

He definatley has some green hues in him, my prediction is that the green is really going to come out once the yellow mellows with size, but only time will tell

Dude I was over Russ's place last week and saw that one. If not sold to you it would have been here. Good scoop! Sadly I had to "settle" for a nice lemon yellow leonis with bright orange triads that pounds pinks whenever I put them in the cage.

APLAXAR Sep 08, 2007 10:18 AM

that sounds like a nice "settle" to me! yeah i am just lucky i contacted him when i did i guess, i sure as heck havent been lucky in the past. anyway its cool that you saw this guy in the flesh, lets see a pic of your yellow

glad you like him Adam. Several others wanted him too...Tony D included. I think the third pic represents him best. Thanks again.
Russ

APLAXAR Sep 08, 2007 06:08 PM

Yeah, definatley a stroke of luck on my part for getting him, thanks again, now i just gotta wait to spread the genes!

Adam

p.s- the third pic does show him most accurately, although the kitchen light looks pretty darn cool, almost nuclear
