I try to photograph everything at least once a year, more often for juveniles, and fall is a good time to begin this process. Here are some recent ones:

Leonis vs. lizard

2007 Black Gap alterna female

Adult male black phase mexicana

Melanistic female leonis

Next two shots are of young adult greeri that are quite green in life, something the digital camera has difficulty capturing.

Reduced black greeri

Boldly marked leonis...can anyone guess who produced this?

2066 ruthveni from Tapalpa region of Jalisco

Enjoy!

Incredibly beautiful animals and photography -- thanks for sharing the images. The black-phase male thayeri is particularly striking. I also really like the "greens". You have some great DNA in your collection!

Very beautiful, I always love your photo's.
i would say Jonel produced the orange one.
thanks for sharing.

Great snakes.

The orange leonis looks like either a Russ Bates or Dan V.

Hi Bob

I wonder who produced that one, hehe. I always enjoy to see pics and hear updates on some of animals that I've shipped out in years past. Specially when their beauty is represented well in an awesome pic. Glad to see that background color is keeping clean and bright. Keep the pics coming. I'm sure you have some more awesome keepers and acquisitions that you need to show us, don't you Bob? Talk to you later.

Oh yeah, they do look similar but when are you going to take some pics? Hehe. I'd love to see them pictured using your methods.

They are truly beautiful. The female is probaly big enough to breed this coming season but I may hold her back 1 more year.

Yes, that beauty is from Jonel. Pretty interesting how consistently that bold black and orange morph is produced.

Jonel,

I here you! Here's one of mine from last year from you...I believe they are from the same clutch...He has remained absolutely clean and is the "chow hound" of the pair I acquired from you last year...although the girl (that takes after her mom) is now very aggressive at feeding time...Ha! Ha!

Later,
Jim.

Hi Jim

Nice to hear and see that that male is doing well. The animal that Bob has is actually an older sibling of your animal from the previous year. Both of them takes their feeding response of my original "yellow" wide bordered matriarch below and all of these wide bordered animals that I have was from outcrossing this Applegate stock female to my reduced black orange leonis male.

Jonel,

Thanks man...His sibling sister has finally turned "voracious" in her feeding habits these days at feeding time...

By the way, if you produce a Buckskin male with the broad saddle splits and orange ventrals...please let me know. I'm looking for a male from you to pair up with this girl from Rick Millspaugh...

Later,
Jim.
