Mex mex breeding

Aaron May 10, 2008 02:26 AM

Awful slow in here lately. Here is a pair of Potosi Kings that has an interesting, almost granite phase look to them. They were breeding tonight, shortly after I took this pic. They come from the Galvan's out of Texas. Not too many people know of them but they produced these from a pair they got from Denny Miller. Denny is the "academic" who did a really well know paper on L. alterna so I think it's pretty safe to say these are true mex mex and not hybrids, although I have no idea wheather they are locality or not. Hope you enjoy.

there's a really good chance Denny got his from Gerry Salmon. Want me to check with him and see?

Neat snakes BTW

Cool, I'm checking on it now for you. I'll bet a nickel in advance they came from Gerry.

Here is the word from Gerry

QUOTE - Yes those went through the hands that you stated and came from me from snakes that I got from Bob Fengya from NJ and his snakes originated from early founders from california (John Ruiz). END QUOTE
