old school hondurans.

shannon brown Dec 10, 2009 01:12 AM

Here is one of my old school hondos from Tim Gebhart.I believe this to be one of only about 5 of my true blue Hondurensis.They key out perfect and are from a line imported some 25 years ago.Not het for nothing and not really even that nice even though they are f4 animals.
Anyway, I like them just the same and love the classic text book look.
I wish I had more of these to play with and maybe in a few years we will have.
anyway, enjoy him and I can post up some of his sibs if you woulod like to see them.

Yeah, I wasn't dissin on them just saying that they wouldn't catch most peoples eyes.I would stop dead in my tracks though and take a double or triple look if I saw them on a table etc.....

Looks text-book fine to me too bro!. Who would ever expect all the more natural form hondurensis to look like bright ultra-clean neon beacons anyway?, certainly not me..LOL!

As you know, Ballards have lots of tipping too, but they are pretty as all heck in their own right because they are a known genuine locale article, simple as that.

Hard to beat in my opinion, and congrats on keeping that line true to form as possible without out-crossing into other stuff.

Yeah, I also find that some of the heavily tipped up ones can be very uniquely beautiful too.

BTW,...I'll take a very tipped up text-book example of polyzona, or oligozona any day of the week as well..LOL!

Nice, Shannon! I really dig the "plain-jane", wild-type look of those critters. Those het-fer-nothins may end up being more valuable to our hobby than the hottest morph... especially with potential increase in colubrid popularity resulting from the boid "issues" we're all hearing so much about...

LMAO...... Dude, as we speak I could sell these at a c-note each and would be damn lucky to get that for a screamin ars ghost at this point.About 10 years ago an old fellow told me I should hold back some old school stuff I was working with ( pueblans,siniloans,hondurans,rutveni etc.....)
Anyway, I kinda laughed at him and said noooooooooooo, there will always be good old clasasic looking examples of these animals available but man was I WRONG!
Anywho,
The same old fellow just chatted with me yesterday and has some of my old school line of siniloans (actually Lloyd Lemke stuff but got babies from me) and he is goining to gift me a few babies back next year.
How cool is that?

I like those a lot. I used to have some just like it years ago. I would love to get some and have them again.

Here's my Gebhart F? at one year in '08. He's darkened up a shade or two but I love this snake. Pretty much a 10 in all categories except maybe outgoingness (new word, but he's actually starting to cruise in daylight now
