How many tail bands do you count?

afoll Apr 15, 2008 08:24 PM

I can't stop looking at these two... just have to wait a few years to breed. Man it's hard to wait. I can only imagine the pastel peaked babies that these two would produce. They are siblings.
How many tail bands do you count on the male? He's got the "longest" tail I've seen in a while.
Thanks,
Andy

Counting the tip I would say 11. Very, very nice pair.

More than 30 on him LOL! Andy, those are super nice. I do not count the tip so I count 11 on yours with the 12th being the transition saddle. You could argue 12 and call the next one the transition saddle but its not much wider and darker than the back saddles and pretty far away. Either way, I rarely see more than that although I have seen 12-13 before.

I don't even know what the hell that is but I like it. You name the snake and I bet you have one of the top examples around.

Actually, that is a Cape Gopher and it was one of the best. It was the pick of the litter from pick of the litter Kane strain parents.

Andy, here is a male to pair up with your female. This was a Guyana at 17 months old and has 11-12 tail saddles with a ladder pattern. It was also one of the brightest red colored tails I have had as well. He was actually one of the siblings to the male that sired J. Brady's Rose litter last year. I think Barry Miller could top this one.
