Great looker Billy! Love those blotches and the hue of the light gray. Sort of the inverse of this one. While I like the dark gray I would love to have a light gray one as nice as yours.

Bob,
Your grayband is AWESOME! I love it!! WOW!! Man, what a great animal you have!!
Thank you for your compliments! That grayband of mine is my lightest one, in terms of the gray. All others I own have darker gray. My 277 locality male is very similar to yours.
Again, thanks for showing off yours! What a looker!

I'm Jealous. That's the epitome of all the graybands I used to drool over as a kid in the books. It's a shame we have "advanced" so much in the hobby. I guess it's human nature to move on to different things to keep it interesting. I know you like morphs and to each his own, but that text book looking normal along with nice looking Oakatee corns (Like Abbots) and Pyros have GOT to be the most beautiful animals in this country IMHO.

The best snake I never meant to keep was the Okeetee corn I wound up with. Pretty!

Thanks Bob!! I appreciate your comments!! Your pyros, by the way, are among the most beautiful I have ever seen!
I do love morphs, but I find the natural or normal specimens much more interesting and fulfilling, for myself personally. I believe normal phases should be focused on as much as morphs. They both are important and what makes the hobby fun and enjoyable. Everyone should own both, as both areas offer exceptional beauty. A king and pit examples:
