Hey Ron,

Here is a look at one of the lodingi that Lloyd produced. He is preparing to shed in this photo so he looks a bit duller than he would normally. Should look much better by the time I come home tomorrow evening.

Sarasota county mugitus. I'm still learning the ropes with my new camera and was having some lighting problems. He is actually developing some attractive red tones in the posterior blotches that are not evident in this photo. Maybe I'll get it right next time lol!

Here is the sibling to the ruthveni you picked up in Daytona from Suffolk Selectives. These are from a pair that Dave Boyle produced.

An '06 Kankakee that I held back for what ever reason. He has the brightest yellow of any that I have produced over the years.

Hope to catch up with you soon!

Hey Phil,
I see what you mean about that Sarasota Co. mugitus- certainly keep me in mind with your pair next year and in the future. The hardest thing to find these days is a good looking mugitus that isn't het for 3 things.
All your pits look good, especially that lodingi. Very glad to hear that the ruthveni are doing well.

I just found out you have a book! I will have to pick it up.

You got it Dave. I'm looking forward to some of the pairings I'm lining up in the next couple of years. Should be very exciting!

The ruthveni are thriving. You clearly gave them a great start and they have been a lot of fun to work with. I have been wanting to put together a nice group of lodingi together for some time and this has come together very nicely.

Hope you enjoy the book. The feedback has been very positive so far so we are happy to know we have hit the mark with what we were trying to accomplish.

Thanks, Phil

wow, that kankakee is yellow!! by way of comparison, here's an 01 male from BB. this may be one the darkest specimens i've ever seen. thanks again phil!

Weeks Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, AL. "A hybrid black pine snake and Florida pine snake."
Their words not mine...

Neat intergrade! The Pit web site is temporailly down for a server change but should hopefully be back up soon.

We had an interesting presentation at our Feb herp society meeting that you would have enjoyed. Our guest gave a presentation on her research with black pine snakes in Desoto National Forest in south Miss. Pretty good stuff!

Look forward to the photo's!

Thanks, Phil
