We like the "progress" pics showing the growth and change of mexicanas. So I took a few new pics of my Blair darkies. I'm not completely happy with todays pics, but they show the idea ok. The male is a little darker than the pic shows. They're a little over 2 years now, with the first pics taken about a year ago.

Man you're killing me. How big are they now?
Hey Tony, what's up! They're growing well, although I haven't been pushing them much. I plan on working them stronger now to the end of next season, then pair them up for 07. I'm glad you didn't "need" them any more....lol.
Thanks,
Eimon
It wasn't really a question of need or not needing. I've just ocme to the conclusion that when I don't keep my wants in check its the snakes that suffer. I've only so manny hours to give to the hobby I can compartably care for 24 snakes in that time frame. Incidently this is how the collection shook out after moving animals out:
2.3 thayeri
2.3 coastal plains milks (hypo)
1.1 goini (blaze phase)
0.1 goini (Ozborns hi orange for outcrossing to blaze)
1.2 Sonoran kings (founder stock, Brewster Co TX local)
2.2 San Felipe rosies
2.2 Bairds rats (Val Verde Co TX local)
Been pretty happy with this mix!

Both the male and female are truly beautiful, thanks for sharing pic's of them.

Nice......I want 'em...

I thought you were giving up everything to work on the Rosy Boa collection?
Those are nice, I have never been much (I stress much) of a mex mex fanatic, but seeing all these dark phase ones lately makes me want a pair. They are awesome looking. We need to work out a Rosy - thayeri deal next year.
"I thought you were giving up everything to work on the Rosy Boa collection?"......No, I'm not that smart...lol. My problem is I don't seem to "give up" much of anything. Just find more room for additions. Besides, there's just too many interesting kinds of snakes out there (like thayeri) so I really like your idea for the coming year!
Like a fine wine, those mex mex's got better with age.
Great pics of your pair and they look very nice.
Happy Herping,
Uncloudy
