Any more information that anyone else could provide from this picture would be appreciated.

crimsonking Oct 15, 2003 07:33 PM

Karl, that looks an awful lot like it has thayeri in it to me. In fact I've had pure thayeri that look very much like that. Where'd you get that guy?
:Mark

crimsonking Oct 15, 2003 07:46 PM

.. this guy has "grayed" with age, but he was once bright much like yours. This is a thayeri I've had for years and is really a big snake for a thayeri. Some resemblance I think.
:Mark

Buzztail1 Oct 15, 2003 09:42 PM

I originally thought it was a thayeri but John Hollister sold it to me and was "pretty sure" that it was part pyromelana. I am not adamant about it being any one thing or another and really only bought it because it is an exceptionally pretty snake and he didn't want to take it all the way back home after the show.
Your snake is beautiful by the way. Mine looks just like yours with that "peach" colored head thrown in.
Karl

crimsonking Oct 14, 2003 01:56 PM

I just filled out my permit stuff, and I'm amazed at how they add up. Over 200 let's say.( 30 floridana!) LOL! Here's one end of the room with 2 others just like it-- and I just bought 100 more boxes. hmmm.
