I have heard of the project before, but have never seen one. They look so beautiful, it is something different from the norm.

Have you hugged your Leo today

. . . holy cow, it's nice. I was chatting on MSN with some friends about him - at first they thought it was a juvi patternless with the spots - but on closer look, I don't think so. It's like one of my hyper-melanistic leos, with a ton of spots - but then it has this dark wash all over it.

Very, very nice.

I wonder if he would take $35.00 for it. LOL. Probably a tad higher, huh?

Funny thing - you still don't see males out there that are dark. An interesting phenomenon . . . .

Do you have pics of any of your melanistics? I really want a darker than average normal, but don't know where to get any. It doesn't have to be melanistic, but I wanted a dark normal at least Any advice where to look? I can't pay a whole lot though lol

. . . as you see - it has a lot of spots - but doesn't have the outstanding dark over-wash of that one from Sweden.

Maybe I should take a flight over and see it? Do you think they will frisk me for geckos on the plane? LOL
