Thanks John!....yes, he was certainly top-notch all the way. Funny thing was I got him from "Mr. Cornsnake" (Rich Zuchowski) of all people..LOL! when he was delving into other milks too at that time, and I "think" it originated from some that Applegate imports he had at the time. Rich just had the one specimen on his table at a small local Ft. Lauderdale show, and I knew the second I saw it that it was an outstanding example, so I scarfed it up immediately. I swear I have never seen any of that caliber ever since either.

Funny thing is at the time, Rich really didn't know just how nice a specimen that snake actually was either. I talked to him about it decades later, and he asked me to tell him exactly why I thought it was so nice. So I told him in great detail about all the key meristic features that made that snake such a great specimen.

Soon afterwards, he focused solely on the corns, and the rest is history.
