Are You Ready For This?

Here he is; the "Jaguar" Thayeri. The photos don't show the color well, but he is a light pinkish orange color. Only a few actual bands. His sister, from the first clutch (VAR-7-05), has a couple areas of "zig-zag" pattern (and she is a nice red-orange).
I like him, hope everyone else does too.

That is AWESOME Rick!!!!
I love aberrancies especially in Thayeri since it is somewhat rare.
That one reminds of some of Chris Baubels' thayeri in years past.
I cannot remember where I have heard "Jaguar Thayeri" before......Hmmmmm
Looks to be a keeper, eh?????

Great Job Rick,
John Lassiter

I just made it up, spotted seemed to blah. I'm glad you liked him, now you know why I was almost late to work because I was just looking at him this morning. Here's his sister from the first clutch too, I have posted her before.

Dude, what the heck do you feed your snakes? It's making them all messed up! You should get those "bad genetics" out of your collection fast.....hehehe. That's fantastic Rick, your adults throw some kickin' Thayeri.

I’m starting to think I live on a radioactive waste site; first Patternless Nelson’s (had a second one this year) and now this spotted Thayeri and of course, you know I’M not right in the head! Now if I could just get a piebald Rosy. . . (I have to keep hoping).

Anyway, glad you like the Thayeri, they are a lot of fun to play around with. I like, that you can have a picture in your mind of what you want out of a certain combination (pairing) and then see if it shows up. With their natural variability, it becomes very interesting.

...and I hope you are planning to keep them in your program. Nice broken patterns like those are outrageous and somewhat hard to come by, and yours already have some fantastic color working in your favor. Spectacular looking Rick, congrats BIG time. The only other thing I can say at the moment is... WOW..... sure you didn't sneak some kinda cross in there somewhere?!!

The excitement never ends with these guys... pure and simple constant pleasure.

Thanks for sharing Rick.

'04 male I have here with the same kinda thing goin' on with the pattern break up, just not quite as pronounced as your new male there...

Rick,

Man you've produced some smokers this year. Those two would be keeper in my book.
