ORNATE DIAMONDBACK PICS...UNREAL

TOM_CRUTCHFIELD May 06, 2010 08:03 PM

In my opinion these are by far the prettiest of any of the ssp of Diamondback Terrapins. They only occur on the coast of West Florida and are seldom seen in collections. Here is a very nice one but I have seen some MUCH prettier than this adult female. Thanks for looking...

Is that anerthyrism or leucism I see hard to tell from pict. or is that from red parents? Nice anyway. Do you sell offspring yet or holding onto them?

This project is strictly for fun as here in Florida we can't sell DBT's but are allowed to have them. This one of our "fun" projects which have no commercial value but I get a kick out of doing it....thanks
