something new i just got (SURI PICS)

koky6869 Apr 13, 2005 05:44 AM

well.. some friends of mine were selling this guy .. and i had to talk him into sellin it to me .. i couldnt afford it but like you guys know .. when a boa guy wants something "WE GET IT " !! WETHER WE SELL SOMETHING OR WHATEVER !!! WE WANT IT WE FIND A WAY TO GET IT !!

well we worked out a deal and its mine

this animal is a recent import that looks and acts like a captive born ! no regurge , an appetite from hell and clean as can be except a nose rub that it got from our trip to the tampa show . we took it and put it for a low price tag to just move it.. luckily for me noone could really see the animal with all the snakes and other critters we had on our tables.. then when we got home we decided that the animal was worth alot more than what we had intentionally put him up for . note the snake wasnt mine at all.. i was just helping some friends move the animals ..

wel this animal has a light tan/ yellowish color on top.. veeeeeeeery light PINK SIDES ON THIS animal.. its extremely dark in pics. its missing all its side medallions from half his body on "BOTH" sides .. has one of the longest laddertails ive ever seen !! and to top it off , the tail is striped as well on both sides with a white stripe as you will see in the pics

man i remember when this snake came in.. i was with my jaw on the ground !! i still look at it and im like "WOW" !! INCREDIBLE !!

ok ok ill shut up now.. im just like a kid with a new toy tho .. so , here ya go guys !! what do you guys think ?

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THESE PICS WERE TAKEN DAY THAT THIS CAME BACK FROM THE SHOW AND IT WAS REALLY STRESSED OUT AND DARK ! ILL SEE IF I CAN TAKE SOME PICS OF HIM WHEN HE CALMS DOWN AND LIGHTENS UP .. THANKS , KOKY

Have to love those Suris... the coloring is just amazing, the pink all the way down the sides is something to die for... You got yourself one awesome new toy...IMHO...

I saw that one in the ads on kingsnake I think yesturday?. I saw him, and I was like wow, if only I had the room! Beautiful suri, imagine what he'll look like in another year or two. I love how he doesn't have any side medallians. You should breed him with a stripe female suri and see what comes out! Good luck with the new toy! I am so jealous.

Man!! That animal looks freaking identical to the baby that Brian Abrahamson got from me about two years ago! I mean IDENTICAL! Mine also had three black stripes that went the full length of the belly. That is weird! There must be a couple of parents down in the jungle that are carrying this gene. Hopefully, that is not the actuall dad that is carrying it, that would be a shame. I have seen three " counting that one " in the last 5yrs that have come in like that and they all have looked IDENTICAL. Same color and same missing medalions and ladder tail and two had the belly stripes. I did not keep mine, because I am not into freaks, but definately these are pretty cool looking and no doubt " nature made. "........Johnson Herp

John im not too much into morphs and so and so like ive said before. but if there is a gene pool out there in the wild that is continually producing these animals.. then i sure as hell am gonna have to accept it lol i mainly got this guy cause of the intence color actually more than the missing medallions.. that , and the incredible tail ! when it came in , i was WOW'D !! at the way this thing looked in the bag . and when i pulled it out and got nailed. i didnt even feel it !! lol i was too blown away by its color and huge peeks(which is what im mainly lookin for) and intense yellows and pinks with the darker saddles.. but this guy i couldnt say no too.
