These guys glow out in the sun. Of course, all snakes look better outside.

I would imagine that traces back to Bill Love's founder stock.

"a snake in the grass is a GOOD thing"

That's what I'm thinking. Am I correct in recalling previous posts of yours of a really nice normal young everglades? I'd like to see a really large exceptional example of a normal in person. Not a common sight.

Yes, I was one of the posters that had the young one. Here are a couple pics of the transition from a good while ago, to fairly recent. Mark Kenderdine has the mother to this one I know.

Again, ...that's a really great looking hypo you have.

The zoo I volunteer with was trying to find a good 'glades rat for a while...pity I didn't talk 'em into going with you or Randy. The one they got just isn't that great.

I hear that!,....real nice examples are getting tougher and tougher to find with their native wetlands being drained, and the Yellow(quadrivittata) being able to be more dominant in the more drained habitat, thus diluting much of the rossalleni geneflow from it.

There still are enough nice ones here and there though that the zoo shouldn't have necessarily had to settle for a mediocre example, but what can ya do?....oh well..LOL!

Man those are sweet. I've been dying for one of those hypo's for years now. I'm about ready to pull the trigger. I just need to know who has them available. Thanks for sharing.

Go ahead, pull the trigger (I derive some comfort when I see others are afflicted with my disorder). Low end price, high end looks.
