Awesome Don!.....

Those are all super nice, but that Beufort NC animal is just insane!!

Yeah, Even a King Cobra would be torn to shreds by that big nasty dude!

Thanks. I really am liking how all 3 of my Beauforts are turning out. They seem to be retaining the peach highlights and nice clean cream bands. They are still less than a year and a half so time will tell if they "muddy" up w/ age.

Very nice. I have to admit that I had no idea that those snakes could be so damned beautiful. Here's to continued success!

All of them are just awesome Don. Glad Mark could hook you up!! He has to have one of the best collections of Easterns out there. I love the head pattern on the third one down.

Thanks Joe. I'm hoping to pick up some Md localities off Mark this summer. It is pretty cool to go look at the animals in person before deciding what to get. Didn't you get some Pender locales from him sired by his big male? How are they turnng out?

Thanks. That is possibly the coolest picture I've ever seen. What kind of turtle is that?

Now that I think about it I probably should have posted the picture as "it was feeding time at the Zoo". It does look like she's inside the tank trying to get out.

I love the Beaufort as well, and having got my black kings from Mark Hardie, that comes as no surprise...-he has nice kings!
