suri/peaks pics

bear with me...new camera, new snakes...it's all I can do. One day, I'll compete with Mike Eckert...but for now, this is the best a grad student can do.

03 FLR Male...this thing has a real nice orange/red color coming in...of the three litters last year, my babies from the bats litter are actually coloring up the best (so far...)

03 female from the PeaksXBobo litter...big symetrical peaks...and I actually like the peppering on this particular specimen.

this is my favorite 03 suri from FLR which unfortunately is a male (we thought it was female at first)...from the LyndseyXSal litter...I think this snake will develop some insane color.

Here's a recent pic of his brother...

If yours turns out HALF as nice as the rest of the litter, you wont be wanting for color. These guys are smokers in the color field.

Same thing with mine as yours, sold as a female but turned out male. Not complaining though, wouldn't mind him sireing some females at all!

Good luck with your new guys, and post updates!

incredible...

I'll have to talk with brian when his babies drop (picked up the belknap cross baby at daytona and I think he'll let me swap it out for a girl). I just have so many freaking males now and so many FLR suris...I'll probalby wait a bit and fork over some more serious dough to grab a belknap baby from Barry Miller if he produces this year.

cheers,
gabriel

I have a pair of the originals (bobo's bro and sis) They had the lightest back ground color than any of my other snakes with jet black peaks. It should be interesting to see how the suri blood will effect there color as adults. Keep posting pictures

Is that M16 from Bats X Sal?
I had been eyeing that one for a bit, I have an adult from 01 that I think he is going to grow up to look just like. Different fathers, same mothers, 75% of the same genes

See how much more orange and red he has than a 'normal' animal? I think that guy is going to do the exact thing, really, smart pic.

heres another body shot, not the best, I need to take some better pics of him.

Keep us updated with pics of this guy!

yeah, I think it is M16. I have a female (no good pics) also from the BatsXSal litter that is coloring up almost the same...these things are turning almost orange, like a persimmon. The girl is going to be an absolute monster...she's already pushing 3 feet. I'm expecting her to be at least 10-12 feet. I also have a male from bats 02 litter (bad photo attached) which has some very nice peaking but nothing as far as color goes on the 03's (though he has some nice color on his sides).
