Super looking Alterna Mike, I like the orange-red bands on the Alterna. Where did the breeding stock a originate from? Was it Chris Baubels line.
Here one I got from Chris Baubel, these are old pictures, sorry some are a bit blury, I'll have to take some new ones to post, she looks great now.
Thanks for posting

Nice Mike... very nice actually. Do you have a hatchling pic?

Chris

MikeRusso May 31, 2008 05:51 AM

Hi Chris, I thought you would like this one..

Here is a hatchling pic of that male, i have a few others on my old desktop PC.. I am going to move all of my old pix to a disc and toss it, when i do i will post up some other pix. I am almost positive i have a pic of the whole clutch together.

Ahhh yes I've seen this shot before... remember being amused by the paper towel lint on the f/t pink. Wow he really became a knockout! Is he a generic? Anyhow the clutch shot would be cool to see... have fun organizing the pics. Perhaps I should be doing some of that as opposed to surfing online...

Later man,
Chris

Mike,......a truly beautiful Blair's if I ever did see one!

needs a little orange. You need to do something about those muted colors

If I wasn't selling off all my snakes I probably would have asked you to put me on your list for more like that one.

Mike, Now that is a 10 man.Awesome bro...
Is that a Lee Abbott snake?

MikeRusso May 31, 2008 03:44 PM

Thanks Shannon!

Good guess as Lee has some KILLER snakes, but the black cap male in my above post is a Loma Alta.

My big male below is the father...

Wow Mike!! Parents are gorgeous!
So they are Loma Alta? Whose line are they from, if you are able to comment on that?

Beautiful pair Mike. I've been out of the greybands for a few years now but you are making me want to get some again although I don't need much of a push. lol

Can't get enough of the blairi -- I'm hopeful for this West Langtry pair in '09.....booyah. Mike, that sibling female I got is real sweet. Although it's not an outdoorsy pic, I throw one of her in as well that was taken back in February. And the black cap on that is awesome by the way -- killer snake.
