A few too many pics of the same snake...

Jonathan_Brady Jul 20, 2003 10:18 AM

Hey guys, hadn't posted in a while and I've been waiting for this guy to settle in and ditch his dark colors (stress) so I could snap some pics. The sun wasn't really cooperating much, but some of them turned out ok. He's got thick chocolate colored saddles atop a canvas/purple base with light purple laterals and deep purple side medallions. He's got a 7-8 saddle pronounced red tail and an intensely purple head. Watcha think of "The Purple Prince"?


I hope to pair him with Rose in a few years. They've got almost the same pattern but she's pink and he's purple. He's got the more colorful and larger side medallions and a better tail too. But she's cleaner with larger peaks on the thick "guyana" type saddles. I think both are excellent representatives of their home country and when and if I manage to coerce them into breeding, the babies should be spectacular!

Thanks for looking! Hope you liked them, jb

Rose and The Purple Prince...

Once he's out of quarantine in another 6 months, I'll get some pics of them together for comparison.

What do you think for Rose? The guy above, or Mr. Peaks:

Don't know who to try first... any opinions? Or maybe just throw them both in there with her in a couple of years and see who wins?

Thanks for any input.

I like your idea of putting them both in with her and seeing who goes after her more. You will get some beautiful babies either way. Plus the competition will increase your chances of sucess. I would pull out the "loser" after a week or two though.

JMHO, FWIW, YMMV.

They should produce some killer babies.

with the purple prince.

would produce some amazing offspring. So what if Mr. PEaks isn't the most colorful... Rose has the color and Mr. Peaks brings in thin saddles.
