1.2 Hondos - why I hate herp shows!

Little local herp expos are poison! Like the ones where you go thinking you won't be buying anything (yeah, right)
So this vendor had about a dozen adult Hondurans for sale (He was just getting out of breeding them himself) and they were priced to sell - in fact I would have probably bought more of them if I had the room for more. As it is I had to shuffle some corns to make space for large individual setups for these three, but they are in a separate room in separate tanks being quarantined.
I ended up getting : a Tricolor female, a Tangerine female, and a huge Tangerine Male (both girls with lots of melanin wash!).
Here's some pics. 2 females first and then the male - as you can see he is quite a handful of orangey muscle! I think I like the Tricolor best, personality wise, she seems a bit less flighty.

LOL I do like the ghost hondos, but he didn't have any of those, oh well. I do like the striking orange and black on these guys though. He had tricolors and tangerines, It was very hard to pick just three. All of them were big and beautiful.
 
He is a big un! The red female is too. The tricolor is the smallest of the three, and other than taking the few pics I am letting them get acclimatized now. But just from the bit of time I have had handling them they are a lot stronger than corns and squirmier! But none of them have showed any signs of being nippy.
 
Thanks... this was an unexpected purchase, I should probably go revisit some thread on the evils of impulse buys! But I do not regret it. Some deals are too good to pass up! And a lot of my corns were not up to size to breed this year, but I have a feeling there might be some red and black babies around here to make up for it!
