I LOVE the variation in the Leopards. Some are dark, some are light. They all have way weird patterns too. They are incredible. I can't wait to see the T positive Leopards down the road. This gal is turning out VERY nicely. Jeremy Stone

Well I am more than jealous. Incredible looking animal. Looks like you caught her at a bad time

looks like she's sweet too.....all puckered up for a little kiss

I'm going to have to get some new pics of the pair I got from you. They still have all the contrast and brightness they did when they were little. Mine don't do those big toothy grins, though

"Don't take life so serious.....it isn't permanent."

I was wondering what was the year they were first found/introduced? Also I know they are fairly scarce, but does anyone have an approximate guess on the number of them out and about? Also one last question what is the average price on them?

Thanks to anyone who can answer these questions.

Awesome snake Jeremy, I would love to have a small portion of the awesome collection you get to work with on a daily basis. Keep showing them off please, it keeps me motivated to work harder toward reaching that level..

The Leopard Boa was produced in 2000 I think. It was proven genetic by Hans Winner of Germany. Hans bred two Sonoran Mexican Boas together and Out popped the leopard. It is a recessive mutation. The het leopards even have a very pretty look with some showing awesome colors and patterns. I think they are about 60 to 80 Leopards. Hans could give a better guess. He is the only breeder to produce them in large numbers. There have been a few others that have produced them, but up untill this year there have been NONE produced in the US. Unless I am mistaken. There should be a few this year and a few mixed projects. I know Mike at Basically Boas bred his Leopard to the Sharp Strain Albino. Also, I bred a leopard to a T positive. There are many different things you can do with this wonderful Gene.

The average price on the Leopards I think are about 2000 US dollars for a leopard. The hets are about 1/2 of that. I don't know what they will be this year. I guess it all depends on how many are produced. I think they will stay around that price for awhile though. They are truly a great snake to work with and the Size is much more attractive to alot of keepers. They don't get large at all.

Hope this helps. Jeremy Stone

And.....they are wonderful, voracious little eaters. My two NEVER turn down f/t. They eat with such gusto, throwing a hiss in there, when they strike their rat >

Our male Leopard is a 2001 and is lucky to be three feet. Unfortunately there will be no hets produced here....this year. It is a very exciting project with lots to look forward to....what's not to like...a color & pattern morph all rolled in one!!!

Thanks Linda,

Mine are a little hissy, but they are ALL bark, and NO bite. They settle right down. I guess she was a little Camera shy. LOL Take care, Jeremy

Here is another pic. Look at all the variation in just the 3 I have posted. I have a lot of different looks too.

...time you started posting pics! LOL. A T positive Leopard will be killer! How about some pics of the anerys and albinos from your DH blizzard litter?
