Let me know when you have more babies this year.

Sure thing.

Joe & Aaron,

Any idea of the locality heritage of this animal? Kind of an interesting head pattern and the nuchal is interesting as well...Whose stock did it originate from?

Neat looking animal Joe & Aaron.

Later,
Jim.

Jim,
They came from Don Wilson (7 Generations Reptiles) stock. That's all I know. Probably stock that originated from RSB but that would be guessing on my part.

Yes, as Joe said I got the adults from Don Wilson of 7 Generations Reptiles. I got them in 1995.
Here are pics of the adults:

7 Generations male, cb 1995.

7 Generations female, cb 1995.

Here are some of their offspring:

Captive born 1999 male.

Captive born 2005 female.

Aaron & Joe,

Thank you very much for the information...Don Wilson & 7 Generations...More good old time stuff from way back when...Darn it! I wish I'd been working with mexicana's back then...Kind of like Woma's from Rare Earth, Python Pete and Lloyd Lemke...

Those sure are some very nice animals and when I go looking for some I know who to contact...

Later,
Jim.

Aaron did me right. I think he was afraid I would be opposed to the solid black primaries, but I'm actually pretty fond of this snake, more so than the female that goes with him (more typical). They are starting semi slow though, so it will be a few years at least until I see any action out of them.
