Here's a comparison shot of two related Tudehope SM animals, they are like night and day in attitude, color and pattern... the one thing they have in common are dark saddles , but even those are very different... highly variable is what they say ? No 2 look alike.... Happy Holidays

I soooooooooooo wanted this shot to come out clear.. oh well, she just wouldn't sit still! it shows off her intense colors, she goes from purple to pink , to almost blueish looking.. my favorite boa.

Charles, I've noticed that some Tudehope animals are given certain names such as JV animals and SM animals. Can you explain what these designations mean? Thanks -----RON

Rob will sometimes use males from other lines so I believe the babies are named after the females. For example these animal's (SM) mother was produced by Scott Michaels.

CE I just wanted to say that we have similar taste.I love the thin batwing,dark solid saddles also.I noticed that he still had a few left for sale I was wondering if you knew what the ground color of the parents where.What I trying to say is, do you know the background colors the baby's will have as adults?Thanks.

Rob says the mother was one of the most colorful animals he's had the pleasure of raising. Even now at ober 8' her sides are pretty intense red with black saddles and the usual buckskin base color. I can say looking at my babies that the color is obviously there! Both girls have very pink/red sides, their faces are red, and their bellies are red/pink. Not to mention their tails are pretty intense, the weird thing I noticed about my favorite of the two is that the white in her tail isn't white, it's PINK , and she's still soo young. Anyway, the color is almost guarenteed with these guys!

here's mom . Keep in mind this is not a powerfed 2-3 year old like you see all over the net. This is a real adult suri , 8'+ , somewhere around 10 years old proven more then once. Photo by Rob T.
