[crimsonking]

I started out with "normal" phase snakes,and I think I'll always keep them.Here's a normal Ruthven's king.http://www.printroom.com/_vti_bin/ViewImage.dll?userid=crimsonking&album_id=83666&image_id=100&show=image&param=10467

I like it!

I'm a big fan of Kings. I was just making a wish list for next year. Most of the list was Lampropeltis..... It's fun to dream.....

[crimsonking]

Hey Cranwill,thanks. I wanted to have a representative pair or so of each species of Lampropeltis. Although I only have one zonata now, I do have at least a pair (obviously more of some) of ruthveni,getula,alterna,mexicana,calligaster, and triangulum in various ssp.Can you say addicted?LOL

[Tim_Cranwill]

I want to get into the Mountain kings, but not many people carry them. I love the tight, crisp bands

[crimsonking]

Oops, I forgot pyromelana! Right now I keep p.pyromelana and p.knoblochi.

So that's what those guyz look like. Most often you see them as albinos or as those really hideous crosses (ie greybands, other milks). I like hybrids myself, but don't like those ruthveni crosses.

[crimsonking]

Yeah,the different crosses are well...just that. The Pastel kings that Osborne "made" are unreal. He or a friend called them f.p.t's (or similar) at Daytona. For Fu''kin' pink things!. Have you seen them? Anyway, the Ruthven's "white" bands are usually more gray than white.

[Vanan]

Wow! Never knew how the normal Ruthven's looked like. Like Katt said, I always see em as albinos or other crosses. They do look pretty good as themselves, as normals that is.

[Katt]

Oh yeah, those coral pink phase albino's, those are the ones to which you are referring to right Mark? Yeah, those things are INCREDIBLE. A nice cross, but the majority of albino crosses, just don't seem to be anything special.

I have fallen in love the Mountain Kings. I have a 1.1 Knoblochi's as of yet. I have several friends with their eyes open for choice Mountains and the Variables. Their dispositions can't be be also.
