>>she was beautiful. did you ever get a clutch off of her? Where did she orginate from?

I did produce 1 clutch from her in 2005. Dan (Rekadan) posted a pair he acquired from me(with hatchings)a week or so ago....one was from her. She was one of my best reduced blacks. I worked on the reduced black project for 2 generations. She was the result of a selective breeding process from an original pair of VR thayeri I got from Kim's Kolubrids back in 2000 or so.

Here is her sibling sister....I like the way the black borders are reduced and a lighter ground color replaced the melanism.....

WOW, she's gorgeous, John! She kinda has that "Coronella leonis" look to her (at least the first 1/3 of her). I love her open saddles and background color. I have one female that looks a little bit like her. He has a more coppery/rosy color to her....

No history/lineage on that girl, unfortunately. She is an '03 hatch that was kept as someone's pet for three years before she came to my attention in '06. I recognized her "pattern" as potentially being from very old lines, so I snatched her up.

These are her ventral markings...
