I recently was fortunate enough to acquire some new thayeri from John Cherry. I had been wanting some from his Laredo line for awhile, and John hooked me up with some fantastic animals.
This leonis female comes from a Laredo male x Cherry melanistic pairing. I really love her tri color saddles:
This leonis female is from a pure Laredo x Laredo pairing. She is tiny, but eats small pinks right out of my hand. She looks buckskin in the pics, but is developing a cool greenish/gold hue:
This leonis male comes from an F1 Laredo x different Cherry melanistic pairing. His colors echo his WC grandfather:
This MSP male is a clutchmate to the first female (Laredo x melanistic). He is tiny also, but he too takes small pinks from my hand. I love his striking colors and his cool head pattern:
I got super lucky with these guys. Not only did I get some nicely marked animals...I also got some fantastic genetics that will really diversify the gene pool of my collection. I am especially excited about the WC genes and the genes from the two separate melanistic females. Now the hard part...waiting for them to grow up! Thanks John!
