Thanks Ross!,...

Yeah, when I saw those two with their distictive different looks, I really thought they were worth scoring. I am real happy with them.

I dig those snakes - especially the contrast between the darker-than-usual male and the lots-of-yellow female.

Yeah Tim, that is exactly what I thought was cool about them as well. Two very different looks from within the same clutch.

thanks, ~Doug

Man, good to see you back, and those are some very sweet splendida. Most splendida don't excite me, but those are nice.

I have been working with adults collected just southeast of Albuquerque, NM in Bernalillo Co. I'm still raising my F1's, but is anyone working with (or care about) locality splendida these days?

Thanks Matt!

Yes, I am sure there are a few guys here that have some locality bloodlines. I believe Todd Hughes(antelope) has a couple different localities if I'm not mistaking, along with holbrooki as well. And I'm sure other folks could point you to other's that have some locality splendida as well.

Have fun with those nice locality "splendies" you have man!

Post a few pics of yours when you get a chance.

Hey Doug, good to see you back. I looked for you at the Ft. Lauderdale show on Sunday, figured I’d know you if I saw you. Nice splendida!

Here’s an old picture of me back in the day, I sometimes got the Magnum PI or the Knight Rider thing, but I was trying to be Eddie Van Halen!

DMong Jun 21, 2010 07:47 PM

LMAO!!,..thanks Norm!...glad ya like those man.

That is too funny dude!. I would have loved to have met down there, but I rarely make it down that way any more. Too bad it wasn't in the early or mid 90's, as I still lived there, and was there at that show all the time then up until about 1998 or so. Since then I've only been to that show a small handful of times. Last time I was there was a couple times in 2007 and once in 2008.

One day it will happen though, and we will bust a gut over some funny old neighborhood times and forum stuff..LOL!

later bro!
