Mountain Kings

Mountain Kings
Thought I would show off some of my pyros here.These first two are same day WC this past August 2008 in the Santa Rita mountains just south of Tucson.I believe both are female,about 2 - 3 years old. one found under a rock and the other under some tin about 1/4 mile apart.6500 feet about 11am

Even though they are not the brightest pyros around they are pyros that I found and therefore special to me.They are also locale specific unlike the ones on the market that may claim to be but who really knows.

These next three were given to me in 2007 from a friend out in Tucson.In AZ you can't sell your pyros so hatchlings are sometimes given away.They are from mixed locale.

These two were given to me this past august on my trip out there.The male eats like a pig,the female has not eaten more then a few anole legs.I put her in the cold room just this week.

Nice snakes Doug!! Looks like the one in your hand was about to give you a little gift! I just picked two up yesterday at a show. My male is reduced black and the female looks very "normal". I am looking for a bright female now. I love the Mountain kings too and looks like you have a good start.

Great stuff Doug. That one with the red head is a real looker too. Hope you've been well since we last saw one another in WP.
