For the King (crimson)!

[Vanan]

Here ya go Mark! sorry about the crappy shots but I rushed it just so you have an idea of how they look now. My camera highlights reds too much, so I had to photoshop them down. But that's a roughly how "mahogany-ish" they are. I'm amazed at how little dark areas there are.

For those who have no clue what I'm talking about, these are my pair of "mahogany" Fl intergrade kings (Lampropeltis getula getula X L. g. floridana). Got them from the king himself last year. They're a line which is supposed to be lighter than most intergrades (which are usually dark) and have a deep burgundy/mahogany hue to them. Maybe crimsonking might have some adult pics to show what I'm talking about.

Again, the bad quality of lighting doesn't fully show the extent of the difference. Also the male's supposed to be the lighter one compared to the female. :D

Hey thanks Vanan! I just love to see my babies. Since I never kept any for long, I really had no idea how they would turn out. The female looks most like I was shooting for and your pair is from different sets of parents too, so that obviously makes a difference. I am thinking of using the largest male (father to male here) next year with the best looking female (mother to female here)as well. We'll see. Like I said, they are "different".

Very nice pair Vanan!! I think I remember a pic of one of them a few months back. They had almost solid black saddles with some light banding? Looks like they're turning out great! Can't wait to see how much more they fade!!!
