I'll end on this classic looking gentilis from Kansas.

Dell,

Those are hideous critters. My suggestion is that you cull the lot of them, especially breeders #6, and #7...however, all culling should be done at my house! Haha.

Great looking snakes. I like the fact that they are seemingly easy to get going for such small hatchlings. Hey, I hope to see you when you head out this way this spring. But just a heads up, northern California may wash away in the rains before you get out here!

Mitch

Heya Mitch,
I like that you point out that they are very easy to get going on pinks, they are a very hobby friendly milk to work w/.

I'll be talking w/ you, and hope you don't wash away before I get there.

And a very fine collage of gentilis it is my friend!

Thanks for the awesome post Dell!

Thanks Jeff,

I'm w/ you, I tend to like the crossover gentilis the most.
Here is a great looking flame thrower from KS that's still there too.

Dell, great looking Gentilis! ( wipes drool of keyboard)

Here's one I had a few years ago.....I will get some more again soon! Love these guys!

I really like 5,6,8,11

Yeah Jimmy,....but don't feel all alone there buddy!. I could kick myself right square in the ARSE for getting rid of certain things in the past too......(sniff-sniff...wipe)

And everyone else I know that has been in it for any length of time has life-long regrets about letting certain types slip through their fingers as well.

Nice looking milk Jimmy. Did you have locality on that one?

-Dell

Thanks, No locality, but it originated from Jeff Hardwick stock....I sure wish I still had him in my collection...

Outstanding as always, Dell!! 5 and 6 blow me away - locality info on those?

Always good to see gentilis posted on the forum. This was a great post to come back to after a week of being sick and out of town. It's especially refreshing in light of the snow we're getting right now!

I had at least 4 observed gentilis hook-ups last night, with a bunch of others likely. Hopefully I'll be seeing some of this in the near future:

L. t. gentilis - Lyons, Boulder County, Colorado

Those are some interesting little gems too there Cole!

Good luck with producing some more of those guys this season as well!
