Guess this locality...

JediKnight1971 Oct 30, 2009 06:32 PM

All right, here's one for everyone. Given the responses on the "Bumblebee" thread regarding Huecos, this should be fun. I will not give the breeder's name, as those that know him could guess this locality right away. I will say that the adults that produced these are WC, from the EXACT same locality. So please, guess away!

Hope you and the family have a safe fall harvest holiday....AKA Halloween!

Yes, I like the butterflies on that one, but I prefer the uniform pattern of the one in my post. They are all pretty awesome!

Maybe next time I should put the stipulation that those that have seen the pics and parents shouldn't be allowed to "guess"! LOL!

Good job Joe!

Will you be at the show this weekend?

it was pretty easy since you showed the whole clutch. Had you showed only one that resembled south of alpine stock you probably could have gotten me.... sorry.

Not trying to "get" you... my response was more to John than anyone since he posted a pic of an individual snake in that clutch, so obviously he had seen the other pics already. I thought that perhaps you had as well...

However, good job, you are the man!

See you this weekend?!

Nope unfortunately, I have to chaperon a Field trip to John Knox Ranch this weekend with my son's fifth grade class.

There's supposed to be a bunch of folks coming in for this one though, have fun!

Troy assures me he will be there, Jason Penney may or may not be there. We're gearing up for elections and neither Jason nor I will be running for any offices nor accepting any nominations. So get your names in the hat.

You must have sent to my old RR address. I'll go check it, in the future please use gmail.

Best
Joe

If you take a second look at my comment, I didn't offer a "guess", I only expressed which is my favorite of the bunch.

Lajitas, only because it hasn't been picked yet...

Limpia Canyons??

Andrew Godambe Oct 30, 2009 11:44 PM

My guess is west alpine - I have just the snakes to match them up with...

Man that bunch has a little bit of everything, alternates, speckles, bleed through on the saddles, butterflies, etc.! My w.a.g. is somewhere in the Davis Mts.

Great guess, but in order to have baby "bass-bait", I would actually have to have adult "bass-bait"! LOL! You have the only adult that I own, save for a lone male Iraan that is on display.

So far, you have been the FARTHEREST from correct, as the crow flies. See Joe's reply above for the answer!
