Pic for Cranwill.....

... 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!

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~

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.

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