This is a long delayed introduction to a snake who has now been our guest for nine months. Almost two years of age now, this little fellow was a holdback animal that we were lucky enough to acquire when the breeder thinned their ranks of younger snakes. Even more impressive than his color is his pedigree: his father was a stunning Howard Leong male, and his mother from Bryan Hummel stock.

Here he is as of his early mid-September arrival at Living Gems. At that first weigh-in with us, he was 150 grams; since then, he has climbed to 278.

If his looks stay like this, he will be a very strong challenger to our senior orange males for the right to remain a Living Gems breeder.

Thank you for reading,

Thank you all! His orange us actually more intense than those first pictures catch...but I wanted to give his intro night its due.

More rich colors from your stock. Very impressive, Cliff! I'll have to research Howard Leong, but we all know Bryan's animals are amazing.

Howard Leong exited the business some years back. I think Dave and I have the largest concentrations of his animals remaining in the breeder world. Topaz (RIP big girl, I miss one) came from that stock.

That explains why I didn't find a website for him.
