I got these guys in last week, and there absolutely amazing. Still can't get over em. They were produced by a guy in Cali from some Barker offspring (ps theres still a few available, send me an email if you need contact info). I tried to take some pics outside so you can see where there color is starting to come in but, like most young ST's they wont friggin stay still!! So hence these are terrible pics.. but I'll of course post some good ones when I get em. They have some kinda rosing cheeks so I got my fingers crossed for some redheads Both of em even ate today without a hinge I couldn't be happier

Thanks Carole... you know I'll be posting more pics when I get em Think I will leave them alone for awhile tho as there still settling in and digesting a fresh meal. Kinda bewildered they dont seem to be stressed, even when they first arrived from shipping they were calm as anything.. then went straight to eating today

Lol, yeah, giving them settling-in time is certainly a good idea Sounds like they're handling the whole ordeal pretty well. I can't imagine what I'd be like if I was shipped somewhere!

Do you have any idea what the parents of those little beauties look like? I was curious if they were 'normal' borneos, or maybe part of that super stripe line that Tracy has been working with. I don't know much about that project, but I thought I recall them getting some pretty wild looking offspring, even if they weren't striped.

Someone might have already asked you, but how many snakes you got now? If I recall correctly, you have a very nice collection

take care,
carole

Carole,

I had the breeder send me some pics of the parents out of curiousity. They actually look alot more "normal" than their offspring. No relation to the "super stripe" Borneos that I know of (hence I was actually able to afford them lol). It was a weird clutch from what I saw, there were a few that looked like these guys and a few that were just amazing "normal" looking short tails. As far as my collection it's still not much, just two pairs, but I should hopefully be getting a pair of marbleds here shortly

That's the kind of borneo I would want in my collection.Jordy does the color darken?I know you want the girl to get a red head but is their a chance it would stay white.I like white.I'm was so stunned at their beauty that I had to chill,absorb,and have dinner before replying to your pics.Wow I'm totally happy and jelouse at the same time.Can you PLEASE send me his e-mail adress?This might be my chance to get into borneo's.

jordanm Jul 13, 2004 01:02 AM

Wow thanks for all the compliments guys. Like I said I couldn't be happier. I think Angel may have been drinking again tho(jk bro) but these blasted things wont let you edit... I think we need to go on strike.. or something..
