having problems with the flash on these, and got tired of dealing with it, so they are fine for the intended purpose, to share with you.

All three of these snakes just ate, so if they look large, especially that 07 female, that's why.

07 Female buckskin leonis I got from Brad Alexander

06 Male I got from Larry at Rock Canyon

07 Male I got from Tom at Dark Moon - Aubrey, I think this one goes good with one of your females!

Nice looking snakes, especially the first one

Dude, you're right, you've got some crazy shadow thing going on there. I wouldn't even know how to reproduce that effect.

She's doing well, growing fast.

Let's hope you don't accidentally find out either, I think something is fried with that flash intensity setting. I'm pricing E3's now.

Nice Joe. Would you call that Rock Canyon one a "classic" leonis? Aside from the orangish head and tail, it looks alot like a leonis I had back around 1993 or so.

I think so. They were around, but most of the ones I had had wider primaries. I have no idea where that thin banded 50 primary gene comes from though. I think it was buried in the gene pool and then bred out.

Aaron,
some of the first leonis I had, had markings very similar to the San Antonio de las Alanzas animal. A lot of the primaries were dorsally restricted and there were alternates present. I remember hatching a bright orange thin banded leonis from a yellow green leonis marked like I described in '80 or so. That was first generation from animals I got from Frank. It was the first orange one I had ever seen and I sold to a guy named skip (don't laugh he was an FBI agent haha).
