you know that one was always a keeper in my book and it almost went home w/ Tony D if it hadn't of been a reluctant feeder as a hatchling.

That's a great group of snakes you hatched out this year. Congrats.

Nice holdbacks, Russ. Who knows, maybe in a couple of years I'll have some some nice yellow leonis hatchlings for sale if you're interested! The guy in the pic below is one of yours. Take care,

Looking good Tom. You have another one from me that is my favorite though...I think it was Orange....it's very nice!

tgcorley Aug 10, 2009 12:45 PM

Yep, I sure do --good memory, Russ. She has developed a moderate amount of side speckling as she has grown, but in the flesh her colors do still "pop". She a real chow hound, too. Probably not beefy enough to breed next year, but in spring 2011 she should be ready. Later,

Thanks Tony. That first one is the female you almost got from me two summers ago but it wasn't eating:/ It is now

Russ,

Those look really good. They have grown up nicely from the first time you posted their pics. Put me on the list!....lol.

They are both beautiful.
But that first one with those open saddles is unreal.
Very nice Russ.

Russ,

What is the provenance of the first specimen? Very nice saddle splits man...

Love the Garstka "dots" on the head to the second specimen as well...

Later,
Jim.

nice snakes. This snake came from the colony I was working with for about 8-10 years that was comprised of stock from Applegate and Sipperly (I purchase the founding stock from Steve Little).
Thanks,
Russ

CSRAJim Aug 12, 2009 07:32 PM

Russ,

Mine also originated from Sipperly & Applegate (many years ago)...Via Rausch/Macaslin (sp?) to Zuchowski to Abbott to Thomas to me...

Later,
Jim.
