A couple of 21 month old Key West Girls

The color just keeps on coming in more and more...

If people remember, they were not very colorful at all as little ones.

They are of course babies of my choice for a number of my best litters I have produced over the years. The Lopez female with the connected pattern and fantastic tail color. Here she is in an old digital shot I took oh about ten years ago:

Interesting enough her sister in the shot below may have carried a secret that I was never able to capitalize upon. When I first posted her a number of people thought she was a Hypo Motley, though she was neither. Here she was below:

And just for fun here are a few Key West Boas that actually have the same Daddy as the girls above. A different Mommy though as she is a Sharp Albino. So these are Key West Boas het Sharp Albino. I know they pale in comparison, but it's going to take a few generations to make better looking Sharp Hets. I'm working on it though. The good thing is, when you make Sharp Albinos, all the ugly that's in the hets is washed away. That is a beautiful thing.

Here are a few of their littermates that did not get the Key West mutation but still retain the Sharp gene thankfully.

Oh and you know, as I posted in a couple other threads today defending a couple other very young projects... we have just seen the tip of the Key West Iceberg...

I do feel a little like Captain Nemo in the Nautilus getting a sneak peak though... LOL
