WOW- Thanks Marc! Looking wonderful. I appreciate you posting the pictures- I was wondering how they were doing. One more generation and we should really have something special with this line I hope.
I haven't had much time to be online between family, work and breeding/cleaning/feeding snakes. The same pair bred again this year. I also bred the male "Halloween"/extreme okeetee to an okeetee Tessera female... Hopefully the thick borders will make some super thick striped in the Tesseera patters... we'll see.
This line was created so far by handpicking a ton of animals and growing them up. After seeing teh results of different pairings, I've sized back some and just kept the ones that produced the best results. YOUR particular animals are from my thick bordered buckskin okeetee female X Halloween/extreme okeetee male. So far my holdback babies are developing a color inbetween the buckskin and bold orange of the parents...a mellow orangeish color. The borders are spectacular. I'm hoping that breeding these holdbacks BACK to the dad will continue to thicken the borders while brightening the oranges even more!
You have an amazing collection Marc! Keep up the good work buddy!
