Snicker Snakes & Herps of NM stuff

HerpsOfNM

My name's Blurryface...
And here's a couple of critters from Nanci.

1st up is "El Pavo Loco" aka EZ2013_01A - a Miami Motley Pinstripe produced by Nanci

2nd and 3rd are of "Callipepla" aka EZ2013_01C - another Miami Motley Pinstripe produced by Nanci

4th is an Okeetee Outcross I produced in 2013 from pairing Flicker (my male Tessera het Butter/Amber Stripe) to Georgia (a wild-caught Okeetee Corn from SC). Unfortunately, Georgia passed away this year after 15 years in captivity. This little one is a male. I heldback 4 babies from that 2013 pairing, 1.1 "normals" and 1.1 tesseras. They've been a tad slow to get going, just now getting onto hoppers. I'm hoping mom's genetics passed on in the form of her size, she was at least a 5.5 foot corn, possibly pushing 6 ft.

5th is the ever photogenic Thor, though this time not being very cooperative.

Wow those babies look great!! I have their grandmother here with me now, too. She's really a cool snake.
 
The setting and direct sunlight is so awesome and makes their color really explode. Excellent photos and beautiful creatures. Thanks for posting!
 
So, if Georgia produced that Amber looking tessera, from a het butter/amber, would that make her het for amber/butter? She was wild caught. I don't know much about genetics, obviously. Those all are amazing animals. That first one is so orange.
 
Oh, the last one is Thor...That makes more sense...I am so tired, it would help if I could actually read:)
 
Thanks everyone.

Nanci, I'm loving these 2 and honestly thought about picking up another from you when you still had some left. The little okeetee tessera sibling is doing well too. She just was way too uncooperative for photos.

LOL@myca...
Thor is a half brother to that male, fwiw. Thor's mom is a butter stripe, aka Chiquita, aka Mrs. Butters. I suspect something might be at play on the okeetee outcrosses though. Both tesseras I held back had lateral striping instead of the asymmetrical lateral blotches, seemed odd to me compared to siblings and others seen online.
