Nice Male Ryan....
I would say it is Dark Phase at least....Is it full grown? If not, It may darken more.....I am sure it is from Black phase animals that Lloyd Lemke, Kim Caldwell and Ric Blair (now Ryan Hoyer) worked with...And Tony Mangini at one time too it looks like....

Are the two females you are going to use him on as dark as he is?
If so you are going to have some nice babies that will darken with every shed.....If they aren't as dark or darker I think you will get some "inbetweeners".....

Great Looking Mex Mex Ryan.....I think they are one of my favorites......

Thanks John. He is a 2006 animal, and is over 30" so I would say he is full grown. He is very dark in person. He will be put together with the female pictured below and another really nice female that I will post pics of when I get home tonight.
