This is one of my favorite female Christmas mountain altrerna's from 2004. She is only about 7 inches long. She is extremely dark for such a small, and young snake. The parents were jet black with awesome orange. This snake should surpass the parents in beauty. I believe she will turn jet black with neon red/orange. Hope you like her...Ric Blair

very nice ric, is that boyden stock?/jon

Hi Jon,

It is Boyden stock. I wish I could snap my fingers to see what this will look like as adult. Let me know when you take your Limpia Canyon female out of brumation and I will send you the male I caught last year on the breeding loan we talked about.
Thanks....Ric Blair

I really dig those red diamonds! But you may want to have that bulge checked out. Could be a too-mah. Probably on account of that Hiroshima live rock substrate. lol

That has to be one of the neatest alterna I have seen.

Rick, can you make a poster out of that? It will be amazing if
it grows up to be black with red or even a dark granite with red.

All I can say is wow...

Rick - If you get tired of her, I could adopt her & promise her a cushy life... just kidding...could we see the parents.
I love those dark alterna with bright colors!

Hey Rick!
Are you back from Vail yet? ...must be nice.
Sure would like to see the photos of the parents of that great looking dark alterna hatchling.
Thanks,
Bill

When I get back from Vail, Colorado I will send you an 8x10 Glossy. I will get a better picture for you. Email me your postal address and I will put it in the mail to you...Thank, Ric
