These have been a ton of fun to keep and produce. I get more esxcited over these guys than some of my other "higher" end projects. They don't tend to photo that well...... ok, maybe I don't photograph them well! The het female has some neat ventral spots and the bands widen in a cool pattern. The hypos vary from white-yellow to orange-tangerine in the banding. I hope to produce some really tangerine hypos next year.

This is my 09 female I purchased from another forum member. The male isn't nearly as aberrant but I have dibs on a male next year. It's strange that the aberrant animals from the clutch started out much darker than the "normal" ones. I probably should take photos while the tri color appearance lasts!

phil bradley Oct 06, 2009 08:22 PM

These guys came from a clutch that had almost 1/2 the animals having aberrant banding that doesn't connect. They aren't anything too special but it will be interesting to see if they produce even more aberrant animals in the future.

The two '09 male Anderson Co. Ks. Syspila
that I picked up from Snakebit (Doug Lindsay).
Ate their first meals for me today! Scented
live pinks will do for now.




Man, I love these Syspila! I'll take pics of my adult pair
when I have time. Enjoy!

Sweet Phil. Glad you got them to eat. Mine have eaten a couple of meals too but not pinks yet. My Prairie kings are both eating pinks F/T.

Patton Oct 06, 2009 09:16 PM

Unfortunately the calligaster aren't working out
as well. One took a F/T Sceloporus, but the other wasn't even interested. I keep chanting "Patience..Patience..Patience". LOL!!!

I held back 0.1 of my Bernalillo Co., Nm.
celaenops this year. Not the best photo,
but it'll do!

Phil,

Nice additions to your collection. You produced a really nice hypo peublan there.

I bought too many snakes this year and don't have photos of them all yet but here are a few misc 08s and 09s that I either heldback or purchased:

holdback nelsoni - imagine these with the T gene

female

male

holdback cosala

syspila from Cole

gentilis from Dell

Hypo-e sinaloae from the Dawg - Nate Wells

triangulum from Doug and Joe

temporalis from Paul W

a sweet extreme hypo I should have held back!

There are more than I care to admit!

Nice snakes Dave. I love those LTT. LOL!!! Is that the hypo you sent to me?

Dniles Oct 06, 2009 09:58 PM

Yep, that's her! I trust she is being a good little hondo for you? lol

Dave

joecop Oct 07, 2009 08:51 AM

She is awesome. A little spastic, but calms down after a few minutes. She eats like a champ too!!! Thanks again.

That triangulum is real nice!
