Hey all,

Well, two good things came from the herp concentration camp that I used to work at. These two seemed to be immune to the crap that went on there, and I just had to bring them home, and then proceed to bathe them, and treat them for mites. :D

I picked them specifically for their patterns and colors. To my knowledge, they were bred by Phillip Bergmann in Calgary.

Here's Aphrodite:

Needless to say, she was chosen for her bright tail. These pictures do her tail no justice at all; I've seen Surinames with duller tails than she has.

She also has a couple of aberrancies that I thought were really neat. If you look at the left side of the first picture, she's got two saddles connected along the back... and about 2 saddles up, 2 perfect circles. So she's not quite striped, not quite a circle back... but a little of both. :)

On the opposite end, here's Zeus:

Zeus was chosen for his distinct LACK of a pattern. I loved his almost black tail, and his thin-saddled, faded pattern. He makes me think I have an Anery. Hey, it's the closest I've got right now! :)

Thanks for looking. :)

Thanks everyone. I'm very happy with these two. On top of their beauty, they have great typical boa personalities - calm, totally handleable snakes.

Trevor - I'm sure they'll be on bunnies soon enough. :)
