Mexmex pics

I really can't wait to start producing these myself.
I have picked up some really nice ones over the last three years from Mark Kenderdine and others.
I hope next year is more stellar than this year with these.

I know there is a subforum for these, but they are still kingsnakes......And I see the Getula subforum is seldom used....Why is that??????
Enjoy,

Your dark phase mexmex's are really exemplary animals. I mean, the others are nice, too, but the dark phase really appeals to me. Very nice.

Thank you McCloskey.....
One is an adult male from The Reptile Ranch and is of Lloyd Lemke stock as told to me by them.
The other is a dark female I picked up from Mark Kenderdine last year....
What I am looking to do and tried this year with no results is to breed my light colored Splitbanded male to the Dark Female to see if I could possibly get a dark splitbanded offspring. Now that I have a dark male and some Splitbanded females I will be breeding them as well in hopes of producing some.
IF you want to see some REAL nice dark ones check out Ric Blair's site....He has some outstanding black mexmex with red/orange saddles.
I also think if I keep breeding these splitbanded ones to one another a speckled offspring may occur......It is worth a try and just one of many projects to work on......

Glad you liked them,
John Lassiter

You weren't kidding about Ric Blair's animals. It's a shame he's sold out!

The best way to get one is to get on a waiting list....All mine were sold this year too, but there weren't any produced to sell....LOL
Next year I keep telling myself....
