..to the variety of color and pattern in Thayeri? I'm new to these gems and have just about ruined my keyboard looking at all the terrific animals pictured here. I've seen High Orange, Yellow, Buckskin, Peach, White Leonis, White Milksnake phase, Yellow Milksnake phase, Orange Milksnake phase, "intermediate" Milksnake/Leonis, High Band Count, Thin Band, Reduced Black, Grey faced, Black faced, Melanistic and Bi-color Leonis. What have I missed?

I'd like to hear what some of the "Dream" thayeri would be. What color/pattern/characteristic are you hoping to come up with through your breeding efforts?

I used to produce some Leonis that were distinctly greenish in backround color as well as some buckskin Leonis that had almost no red, just a golden brown snake with thin black rings.

Yes I would say very much like that.

I think the red nuchial just adds to the whole pattern. Like he's making a statement!

Most everyone who reads this subforum knows I am looking to produce a Thayeri neonate that shows no black at all. I am working with two females that are close to what I want, but not quite there yet.
These females are carrying Vivid bloodline and in the future with line breeding will throw the brightly colored specimens with the no black.
But, I am really anticipating the outcome to my Vivid Reptile orange milksnake phase pairing this year. I wonder what will come from these:
