Showin off ghost hondos (warning - lots of pics)

[vanderkm]

My two new boys have now settled in enough to have fed and shed, so I couldn't resist getting a few pictures to show them off. These adult males are from Terry Dunham - and buying from him was an excellent experience - he is one of the premier breeders in the US and after dealing with him, I know why - beautiful stock and incredible business practices. The man is extremely generous with knowledge and with his animals - highly recommended.

This male (024) is one that Terry bred and is unproven so far, but I am optomistic that he will produce next year. He is just over 5 feet long and is very clean. Seeing photos didn't prepare me for seeing ghosts in person - pictures don't capture the translucent look they have and the very pale pink of the wide bands. I just love looking at them - so bear with me for all the photos -









This male is a bit smaller, about 5 feet and was proven this past breeding season. He has a bit more black tipping but still very nice.
