Thanks Jason Bam Bam is definitely one of the crown jewels of my collection. Best part is I have his parents and the possibility of making more just like him. Although out of two litters from that pair, he's the clear standout!!

Thanks, I am in awe every time I pull his drawer!! Still, even after a year of having him! Even when all opaque in shed he outshines most of my collection.

I need to post pics of Melanie's sister cause she also looks really good. I thought the Hummel JM Male 2 looked awesome, but then the pic with Bam Bam show how incredible Bam Bam is (cause I know the Hummel males is no slouch)!

Yeah, the Hummel JM male #2 is a great looking baby BRB, that's why I did the comparison shots to show how extreme Bam Bam is.

Like I said, the only bad thing about Bam Bam is all the rest pale in comparison!!

And PLEASE post pics of her, Many (most ) of the babies I send out into the world I never get to see again.

Of course I get to see how the ones I kept turn out but not the rest......

I'm surprised by that - I'd think you'd be recommending that people watch this board for advice and friendly discussion and even requesting that they post pics of your snakes. I know that if (hopefully when) I am eventually in a position to get one from you, I'll post pics on at least a semi-regular basis.

You can only lead a horse to water, ya can't make him drink.

Several peeps on this forum have bought babies from this years crop and I hope to see them on a semi regular basis. hint hint hint

Bam-bam's color is absolutely stunning. Any chance of a pic of him with Apricot (I also think she's awesome)? Future pairing if pearl phase turns out to be dominant? Anyway, just ideas from a backseat driverish position.

Wow, it's really a huge contrast seeing them together. Bam Bam does outshine everybody! Apricot just looks kinda brown next to him, which is pretty sad to say, as I think she's the pearl with the best color from looking at previous photos here and on your website. I still think it'd be neat to see a pearl with Bam Bam's color though!

I told ya Bam Bam makes everyone else look not so pretty. Apricott has turned a bit of a brown color but is still one of the prettiest pearls. And I know how to "fix" the color thing. The pattern is what I wanted the pearls for!!!

I have no doubt that you'll get the color 'fixed' just fine. In a few years, we'll all be drooling over pearls with color just like Bam Bam's! For the moment, even though I really do love the pearl pattern, if I had to pick one to have, no question about it, it'd be Bam Bam.

That color is just too amazing, and what with how pictures never quite capture it, I'm sure he's completely unbelievable in person. I just wish I could stop by and see him some time, but even if you were ok with random people from the internet stopping by to visit, that might be a little hard to do Minnesota --> California.

WOW, that Bam Bam has really colored up! I knew he was killer the moment I saw his very first picture and I would have bought him had he not been a holdback. Wow.... he need to be bred to Daisey me thinks. Melanie's looking good also!
