While attempting another search for leads on the allusive L.t. micropholis I came across these two photos of an anery micropholis… why it is that in a half dozen previous searches I never ran across these photos or posts right here on KS is beyond me... goggle is a fickle thing I guess.

Both photos are from a photo gallery here at Kingsnake.com belonging to KelliH. The few posts I can find discussing this animal date back to 2002. Those posts reveal little more than the facts that the animal was never successfully bred and it played no part in producing lines of anery hondos, so…

Can any of you that have been here awhile provide more details/history lesson on the animal? Who owed it… was it a “real deal” micro… did it constantly bite and was therefore given away?

Difficult to believe that if both those animals were the real thing they simply disappeared.

Those were indeed authentic L.t.micropholis. Steve Hammack owned those, and I talked to him personally not all that long ago. They didn't do well for him at all and died unforunately. I think it was probably his husbandry that was stressing them out like that to where they would strike wildly at the cage as soon as he went into the room. Why weren't they hiding in plenty of hides, or the cages covered???..........

Too bad those things aren't around today, or at least some of their offspring!...
