Thanks guys,

I love the aneries. I hope the female on the 1st pic keeps her dark bands and she has a pretty clean pattern, hope the black pigments don't get in too much.

It's my 1st time working with ondurans, got to get use to the musking when they are young, the nipping, well it's more fun seeing them try to eat you than anything else. lol

They are so much fun when they are babies!! There are days I literally could strangle the little monsters, but they grow out of it! By the time they are 8-9 months they will have settled down nicely.

Our adults are all real sweeties - they are active (except one big girl who is just like a garden hose) but never bite, hiss or even struggle - just like to move around. Hondos are incredible snakes - if I could only keep one species they would definitely be it.

So glad there are always more people working with them in Canada - hope they will become more popular - especially the more subtle colors like anery or ghost - this is one of our big guys - love how pink the ghosts are and their eyes are great - can hardly wait til we can hatch one of these!

That male is pretty.

I do not know what made me want these so bad, their head? the way they look at you when they don't musk? lol

The color is just awesome, I love ghosts and anerys in almost all snakes.

Vanderkm, that tangerine albinos in your avatar, it's yours? it seems like it's a really beautiful tangerine (all orange, not 2 tones of orange).

Yes - the little guy in my avitar is mine - that was from the first week I got him - just posted a few updated pics a few days ago of him now at almost a year of age. They do change in color but he is the most spectacular tangerine albino I have ever seen - really great one from Terry Dunham - possible het or homozygous for hypo as well,

Must Resist from getting more hondos.
I promised myself, no more hondos. Well, maybe just one more male, and maybe a female.
