Their babies are sure to be amazing...
I need to get my hands on an adult red/pink male with a tail like that.

What gets me is I have a 6.5' female who is oozing color (but is lacking in the peaks & tail region), but am beginning to think I will never find a male I want to breed to her....Sigh...So many have color as sub adults and it begins to fade/darken as they get older. I'm sure even my girl (she was WC on a Suri expedition a couple of years back) will darken after her first litter, but if she has darkened since babyhood, I can't even imagine what she would have looked like as a baby...If you ever get your hands on such an adult male (or if the male you have pictured keeps his pink)...please let me know...I'd love to work out some sort of breeding loan...

shes beautifull .. i have a few females like that , that i like alot .. i dont look for peaks or this n that in particular .. i look for a good looking animal . no matter what he has or doesnt have .. for example , look how light this proven breeder male is below .. and everyone told me he'd darken up during breeding and would never be as light again .. well , look at him and tell me what you think . (notice he doesnt have much peeks etc but his color is insane and hes over 6 feet , almost 7)

Those look great! Andy

You're right...I love it when they stay light like that. I have a pastel BCI that was beautifully light, but then darkened ugly when she had her first ovulation. I can only hope my Suri girl will keep her color like your male did, but I think males can hold their color better than females for the most part. Here's to wishes and colorful adults.
Peaks don't mean as much to me either. I'm a color nut, so that must come first before pattern. But, I prefer more pattern to less pattern, because I think it adds more color.
I'm one of those weirdos who actually don't like patternless snakes - for they lack color contrast that I enjoy.
Pretty boy!
