Introducing... the Superfly!

jluman Aug 19, 2009 03:01 PM

My buddy Josh Marki of Marki Reptiles produced this superfly (super pastel fire) this week and was nice enough to let me post these pics! As far as I know this is the first one produced. The superfly is shown next to a firefly clutchmate for comparison.

your friend is not the first one to do this combo

Mike Wilbanks from "Constrictors Unlimited" has already done it, and has some for sale.

Just got off the phone with Wilbanks. He confirmed that he doesn't have one out of the egg yet, and neither does Bob. So unless there's someone else out there, I'm still pretty sure this is the first one.
