... o.k. here's your "ugly" snake Tim. Before you say anything -there's a bit of "silver lining" to him. It turns out (after going over breeding data) that HE is the father of those really nice striped babies I got this year--NOT the b&w striped male. The female was only with this guy. Hmmm. Can't really get rid of him now can I?? HA!

Ha ha! :D

Well, he's got his charm, but he's not the prettiest I've ever seen. ;)

I don't blame you for letting him hang around though. :)

Thanks buddy, that does make me feel a bit better... :-)

He along with (2 females- 1 banana the other banded) was given to me after the banana female devoured an albino male a few years back. The previous owner said "come get these damn things!"-- so I did. He will breed with a stick if I let him:)

Hahahaha.

Actually, I think we're in the pluses now with some snow on the ground.

Yesterday we went out. Visited "The Hat", I think we get out of town once every two weeks!!

To be honest...
I think that snake looks pretty nice~
at least I like it....it's really different from other bright colored snakes but than man.....it's special in every way I see it...so I'll still say a very pretty snake Mark. I still don't see a 'ugly' snake in your collection~

i agree with simon. i love it!! do you know if its from a specific local or just a really different looking cal king? either way i think its gorgeous and would be interested in obtaining one of my own.

[crimsonking]

You know, I've never produced a snake to look like him and I have never held a pair back to breed to each other to see if I could get one. Some of his offspring are really aberrant and some are "perfect". I should find out more with some trial breedings next season.

Ah! There, I knew you had a Mendota caliking! ;)

But I bet he's got a great personality, right...? ;)
