Where did you get that poor animal? It's not the one Tony just bought is it?
Who or what happened to the foot?
I hope you or whoever has it gives it the care it deserves.
Why are you asking Mark about it?
Just curious.

I think your seeing things. I wanna find out the origins geographically of this animal. The only real problem with this animal is that he is soooo thin, note I said he, its obvious at under 17 inches long its a male.

I just like to know if he could identify the local area as hes done so many times before. Only the spots dont form connected bands at all, Thanks..

That looks like a Tanzanian white throat, looks like from (exported)Joe Baraduchi's(sp)place.

Head shape, neck pattern, body pattern is different then S.A. animals. Keep in mind, there are huge variations within all localities. Also, the contrast in colors is less in northern populations. The southern populations also have more lite color, percentage wise on the body. I hope this helps. FR

It was stained dark from living on calcisand, yuck. We will find out when he sheds though. Cool Tanzanian WT, Ill have to see what I can find out about them also.
