Rocky... I love this snake!

aanata1 Nov 01, 2008 06:42 PM

This is one from the outcross project Mike Lockwood and Dave paired up to work on. Every time I mention this snake I say, in a shed or two he's going to rival a stop sign in redness. The other day I opened his hide box and had to take a step back. The camera didn't do him justice, but I had to try to capture it. And as a bonus he's a het hypo! Thanks Mike and Dave!

He looks phenomenal - great color, and you actually captured the iridescence in a photo. If that photo doesn't do him justice, he must be downright amazing in person.

First off, thanks for the kind words everyone! He is from Mike's Hypomel Male #2 and Dave's female Ann. I know there aren't any of this clutch left for sale (they were '07's). I know Ann had a litter this year with another male, and Mike gave his females a year off so there are no #2 babies out there this year. Anyway, happy hunting. Sometimes you just get extremely lucky, and with this one... I definitely did! He'll make some great hypos some day

I got an 08 male brazilian from dave. It came from the Ann and Pheonix clutch and it is amazing! Ann sure produces some nice babies and that is one beautiful rainbow.

Here are some old pictures of him

Beautiful!! Very nice. Jasper has a lot of red color too, its also hard to photograph. That was a nice litter for sure. So nice that I felt compelled to pick up another Ann baby this year too. Love that color!
