Thanks,
They are nice examples but the one pictured still has some faint banding near the tail. I'm hoping it disappears but it is so faint I think folks less fussy than me won't notice! Lol

My animals are from the Richter line. Some of the nicest I've been able to locate.

My Black Milks are Russ Pascatore stock. Also some of the nicest I've been able to find.

I know what you mean, over the years I've raised up animals to be disappointed in residual banding and its a bit of a heartbreak after all the feeding and cleaning.(Gaigie)
