Alright.

I have seen a picture of the Hypo Louisiana Milk in a book. I can't seem to find a picture of the Anery.

What ever happened to these morphs of amaura?

Last info I could find on any of them was Shannon's post on ks in 2002 about a pair of anery amaura that he aquired from Chris Collatta.

Just wondering where they went to, if anyone was still keeping them going, and wanted to see if anyone had pictures to share

Southern reptiles had not only Anery Amaura but patternless as well. There used to be a bunch of us NA milkheads around the country. Back before Pueblans existed, when Hondos were scrawny WC parasite ridden pains. The age of MORPHS dawned and state laws changed and old guys got older...snake keeping is cyclic as is. One by one the NA milk breeder died off/sold out. A few guys had fires, and alot of one-of-a-kind stuff was lost. Me, I had a couple Anery Amaura but they were lost when my collection was stolen back in 2002. NA milks take alot of work, and most candy-&^% clowns would rather do something easy than something difficult.
Sorry to be nostalgic, I just came from the NH herp show. 100 tables used to mean almost 100 DIFFERENT things to see. Now its all ball pythons, boas, corns and leopard geckos. I could count the "normal" (wild type)animals on one hand. Oh well.

Holy smokes man!,...I have those very same thoughts today too!

Most everybody today seems to have ONLY a need for a glowing orange and purple turbo atomic morph of some kind!...GEEESH!

I agree 100,000,000 percent!

WTF!!!!!!!!

When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.

Yeah, you know what I meant there..LOL!

Of course I have a few morphs of certain things,....but it isn't the ONLY type of snake I find interesting either.

TROUBLE MAKER!.....DO-TA-DOO!!

Ya, shows 10 years ago were alot better. Ringed pythons over here, hot garters over there, fox snakes(who sees these any more?), wierd imports, some local WC stuff, and of course NA milks well represented because....cb tri colors were RARE! A cb Mt king was worth a kings ransom....Now Doug, dont go tellin people you agree with me! I got a reputation ya know!

Yeah, I'm sorry for tarnishing that a bit..LOL!!, but yes, I can also remember seeing all that cool stuff you mentioned too years ago. Now I have to search far and wide just to find a table with something that is HALF-WAY interesting to me,....that's if I'm lucky! That's even at the huge DAYTONA show which is pretty darn sad too. BALLS BALLS BALLS, and.......oh,..did I mention there where BALLS there?!..LOL! NOTHING like in the early 90's when it was held in Orlando. Boy do things change with time(sob-sob,sniffle)

Now I'm not saying there was NOTHING cool there, because there was a "few" things,....but NOTHING at ALL like many years ago, that is iron-clad!

The crazy "cyclic" thing in this hobby is really bizarre to me too. I mention this to my friends all the freakin' time too.

The site that yielded the anery amaura has been cleared and the anery amaura vanished. There may be a het still alive in a collection but I haven't talked to the guy in years and I know the anery croaked in his keeping.
The hypos are probably east LA animals where they're intergraded with syspila so a few isolated specimens don't carry the heavy grey tint.
Not many amaura being cb at all and outstanding specimens are truly rare.
Outstanding feeding hatchlings are unknown...
If you have a line on something, let me know.

If Patrick Henry thought that taxation without representation was bad, he should see it with representation.

My bet he is talking about the Hypo in Markel's book. That snake never bred I dont think. Jeff you nailed the problem on the head as usual....No one wants to breed LAs because the babies are small, and you gotta produce ALOT to get some OUTSTANDING pinky feeders. Shoot, not even enough demand to keep morph lines alive is pretty bad. I've continued to lobby and rally for more people to get into NA milks...to no avail. I wonder if Brian Mason has a collection going again. Anyone know??

He's just got a few odds and ends.

Not to worry, Jeff! There are some of us breeding locality milks, we just don't post much...yet! Yep, some are hard to start while others go from the get go. Damn lizard eaters! Even if they may be intergrades to some, they are pure locality, I don't see anulatta around the beaches here, so my best guess is these relict pops ARE amaura, no gene flow here except possibly during hurricane events.

Any amaura photos to share with us? I never took any...
