Cole and I got a few early Christmas gifts the other day. Check out a few if you like.

Interesting Cherry co. multistrata, she has a lot going on, very high band count with easily seen heavy news printing, but beautiful terra-cotta saddles, w/ thin black banding around. She has a yellow background color, and I'm not sure you can see it in the photo, but she shows a slight green hue to her too.
When we pulled her out of the box w/ both said "she's green!"

Here is a head shot of her.

This Cherry co. blew me away when I saw her. Nearly perfect multistrata.

Head shot of the above Pale.

Here is another Cherry co. multistrata.

Different Pale then the one above.

Head shot.

Got a trio of these strange intergrade Shackelford county, TX. milks, annulat XgentilisXcelaenops. I only have the single photo for now.

Madison county, syspila.

I have a few more I could post but will wait for another day to do that. That's all folks, you may return to your Christmas shopping.

Merry Christmas, stay safe.

they all look like hybrids so you better box them up and send them to me and I will dispose of them for you.

L8r

0.1 Peruvian rainbow boa
0.3 Honduran milk snakes
1,000,000.1,000,000 other critters

L. t. syspila are a great milks to work w/. You've picked a good one.

-Dell

Very very pretty!

I looked him up. Red milksnake, range into western TN (I'm in mid-TN). Too bad I don't get to see em in the wild around here. I did have a small Eastern milk in my "rooster house" (yes, a building for chickens) a few months ago, but he wasn't nearly so bright. Oh well!

y'all need to put on yore fur-lined giblet warmers!

Todd Hughes

Hiya Todd,
I thought you'd ask about those Shackleford co. intergrades. I'll try and post up the other two in a couple of days.

-Dell

Santa Claus was quite generous.
You must have been very good this year.
I dig those Pale and Red Milks - very nice additions!

Tim

Thanks Tim,
Feel lucky to have gotten them, for sure.

-Dell

Wow Dell - you guys really scored nicely there. Those pales are incredible, especially the one that blew you away - did the same to me. Always a big fan of syspila - I really like the one you posted as well.

So how many multistrata do you have now? Probably as manny as I do snakes!

DNS Reptiles

Thanks Dave,
I'm not sure what the number is for multistrata, but it's a fair amount. I'm fighting the syspila fix right now, every syspila I see I really like, and I know you like them too.

-Dell

Cherry co. NE

I know what you mean! I'm hoping to produce
some Anderson Co. Ks. Syspila in '10. I have
a female '06 Wabaunsee Co. Ks. intergrade that I picked
up from Doug Lindsay. I can't wait to get a male
and see what they produce.

Thanks Rusty,

-Dell

Dude, your photography skillz just keep improving! You took some amazing pictures. We'll have to get together and do a photo shoot including all of the critters.

-Cole

Yeah Cole, I think his "mad-skills" are vastly improving too..LOL!

You field herpers rock man!, and I am going to start getting out every now and then to do some as well, although I seriously doubt I will produce the numbers you guys do.

maybe not milks Doug but shoot you live in the Mothaland, rats and kings and scarlets, oh my! get out and stretch those legs, now is the time for us extreme southerners! Whilest the rest of the nation struggles with snow, it's 70 degrees today and bright. I'm saving my best spots to hit with some buds on Christmas Eve and the first, hope to see a milk from de Island, Mon!

Todd Hughes

Todd,
I can't wait for those little insular Triangulum to produce some pearly white eggs for you! Of course I insist on taking a pair off of your hands for you! Ha! What a way to spend Christmas!
Herping! Meanwhile, here in the Nation's Capital, we're under
2' of snow. Nice for the kids though. Have a great holiday!

Doug, your in herp paradise you'll do great. And if not, smoke a cigar, everything will be all right then.

-Dell

Thanks Cole, I got lucky w/ a few of those shots, I'm not sure I'll ever get beyond a hack as a photographer, but I'm okay w/ that, I'm happy to get lucky shots.

Let's do it, I need to see those animals again anyway, and a photo session would be good for a longer look too.

-Dell

Great triangulum as usual Terry, but
that intergrade is especially interesting.
I hope everyone has an awesome holiday season!
