This guy arrived at my house today. He crawled right out of his shipping containers into my hands. A striking snake from Clayton Carlile.

tongue in cheek....

hey look, it's a tessera pueblan. :blowhead:

Sarcasm aside, that's a nice looking critter.

Haha, no we must correctly label him or people will call for our heads. The pictures don't quite do him justice. I can't stop checking in on him and am blown away every time.

I was that way when I saw Bob Applegate's bullseye nelsoni and his funky vanishing pattern nelsoni in person back in 2001. He'd shown me photos, but seeing them live was something else.
