A new Greeri with a question!

Nightfall Sep 13, 2008 11:41 AM

my Greeri got a new baby girlfriend, and she's quite adorable(and eats really well!)
however she does look a bit different then what I got used to expect...
I mean, the colorations' alright- but her dorsal scales have a lot of black... and I don't mean specks but a robust line of jet-black coloration(not it's not narcosis/scalerot)...

here is a dorsal view of her:

this is a pic from the web to generally show how it looks. Only with her it's not peppered around but a solid line with tiny grays at the sides- the pic is for color comparison:

Do you think that she's an integrate rather than a clean Durango?

thoughts?

To me it seems like it as well.
I was holding off breeding the fella because I reckoned there will be a clean Durango hatch... I guess I was wrong. To me it does seem like there's some Mexi Mexi in there.

I guess there aren't many clean Mexicana around here, if any.

thank you very much, I guess I will simply continue with the Mexi integrates I already have... until I will be lucky enough to actually get hold of a clean Durango mt. King

Thanks for your input

Hey John, how is everything? Haven't talked to you. Do you still have this female and your greeri?

Hi Eric,
Actually I lost nearly half of my snakes in an a/c incident in early 2006 and sold off the rest of my snakes....I haven't done this in 2.5 years and am just getting back into it.....I couldn't stand lurking around here anymore watching everyone else having fun......
Email me or give me a ring when you have the time.
