I picked this young adult up at a recent show for only $75! Now, if I could only find a female!

Wow! What a beauty A.C. I have to say that one looks like it has some scarlet king in his blood. Is his head shaped like one? It kinda looks like it to me. Beautiful snake!

Mark, this one certainly resembles elapsoides as temporalis from the southern part of the range always do. This is a text book Tyrell, but if you put him next to my MD temporalis, you see the huge difference in variation...in the same "sub spp".
I don't like mixing locales in temporalis, but does anyone know of anyone ever crossing a NC with a NJ animal? Would babies be produced? I have heard that the man-made elapsoides x triangulum cross never works because one tries to eat the other. Do you think a Tyrell, NC animal would be too "far away" from an Ocean Co, NJ animal to produce viable young??

Thanks, Jeff. I will. Hey, do you still have that getula? If so, how's it doing? Should be big now!
