Your Expert Opinion, Please...

waspinator421 Apr 16, 2009 03:30 PM

Ok, so I have this male that I picked up last fall that is quite handsome. He is fairly clean and pretty good sized. Only a few speckles in his base color here and there.

I don't have a history on him, but I was assured he was pure. I also got the opinion of someone in the Thayeri realm before I bought him, and they didn't see any red flags.

Each time I look at him, I wonder though... and I would like to get a few of you experts to give me your opinion. Do you think he is pure by the looks of him?


Thank you!

Thanks for your input Adam. I like the reduced black on that male.

this one from Dan V. Dan once started a thread on this forum stating that he wish he had never sold this female. He had sold her to John Cherry, who in turn sold it to David Weymouth, who in turn sold her to me and I sold her to someone else. She is gravid in the first pic but produced a bad clutch of eggs.

I can't say with 100% certainty but my WAG (wild ar$$ guess) is that yours is pure thayeri.

Nice looking snake BTW

Thanks for your thoughts, Chris. I really appreciate it. That female is outstanding by the way... wish you would have sold her to me!

I produced one almost exactly like him last year. It is a sibling to the male you got from me.
