Lots of orange!

DMong Aug 25, 2008 10:53 AM

Among several other animals also acquired at the Daytona show, I was lucky enough to have been GIVEN this outstanding example of Everglades Ratsnake(rossalleni). The amount of orange coloration at this young stage of the hatchling's life is just amazing!,...This guy should be quite a "looker" when he matures...........thank you Mark K.

Here is also one of the female Outer Banks Kings(that isn't in shed) that I "scored" there........thanks a bunch Howie!

Beautiful additions Doug. That everglades is going to be a screamer. Also great OBX from Howie. Howie has some awesome animals and one heck of a collection. I picked up this pair of Va. Beach Easterns from Howie last year.

DMong Aug 25, 2008 11:41 PM

Thanks Steve!,.....I think so too!

Man!,..those Va. Beach Eastern's you got from Howie are really nice and contrasty!

Those are super!

later!, ~Doug

He always has first class animals.

Thanks Bill!,...the show was a blast, and the best part as always, is chatting to all the snake friends that haven't been seen for a while.

Yes, as you said, Mark has some great looking animals!

take care, ~Doug

Thanks!,...I am really stoked to see how he'll turn out as well!. By the way he looks now, and seeing his mother, I'd expect him to look pretty sweet too!. I will post progression shots from time to time, as I love to see snakes evolve through their ontogenic changes.

best regards, ~Doug

That young'n was cooled over the winter Doug. He's small but I'm sure will eat every rodent you offer!
Here's mom.

DMong Aug 26, 2008 06:33 PM
