Bonnie is a yearling (July/August 04) hypomelanistic
BCI. She was bred by and purchased from Gulf Coast
Reptiles. She was produced by a hypo x normal
breeding and comes from Rich Ihle stock a couple of
generations back. Chris and Sheila at Gulf Coast
Reptiles have been selectively breeding their normals
for their peach coloration as well as breeding the
hypo gene back into Colombians for size, temperament
and ease of care. You can definitely see evidence of
this in her. We've been handling her since she was
six months old and she is tame as can be!
Bonnie was selected because her perfect and unbroken
bowtie saddles will hopefully go well with the
arabesque trait resulting in salmon colored hypo
arabesques with thin and unbroken saddles. Clyde, the
05 arabesque, has already been purchased. Keep your
fingers crossed and hopefully we'll be seeing their
first litter in the spring of '08!
