5 Star Serpents

So this thread is long overdue...and wouldn't ya know it, I don't even have all the photos I need to do it right!
Back in December I emailed Steve regarding purchasing some babies from him, when I first began the process I was thinking maybe 15 or so, the final number was close to 90! not all of them stayed here though but for the first few weeks when they were all here it was a huge change in routine!
Steve was amazing from the first contact and continues to be, total first class kinda guy! I say this because I've had a few people who were really hesitant, rude or just plain refused to sell to us because we are in Canada and I think it simply comes down to people not knowing that it really isn't difficult at all to ship to Canada now. I was reasonably certain that Steve would be good with it because he had exported to Canada the year previous, but still hesitant because it was through a company that specifically exports and we use a private broker so it was a bit different but I don't think it was much different for Steve than it would be for him to ship normally within the US. Anyways....he didn't skip a beat and we went through with it as hoped, even when the export date was pushed back a bit he never complained about the extra mouths to feed or clean up after and never pushed to speed it up. In case it isn't evident, I really really appreciate everything he did to make it work!
So without any more of my yammering here are MOST of the girls, I didn't take any pics of the ladies in shed so those will come later. And rather than saying "this is one of my favorites" on every photo, I'll just say now that they are ALL amazing to the point I can't chose one I prefer more than the others.
This little girl is unreal, I've had a few people recently ask me "where can I get a Reverse Okeetee", that's when I pull her out and jaws drop, it won't be for a few years but this girl's babies already have a waiting list of people who are after them!
Next is one that I had mentioned I wouldn't mind if one accidentally fell into my box when they were getting packed up, and it wasn't at first check of my snakes that I noticed her, I had "ordered" 4 ultramel anery motleys and I assumed that he had just been short a motley one so he replaced it with a regular ultramel anery, when I got counting at home though I was confused because there was an extra, sure enough it was her, but again I passed it off a few more days until I was talking with Steve on the phone and he said "so what do you think of that ultramel anery girl". Well Steve, I LOVE her! The photo is terrible, she's amazingly pink, I might go so far as to say she IS one of the top on my favorite list if I absolutely had to list them in order. Next years order already includes a boyfriend for her.
Next is a Lava ph amel female. There are very few Lava's in Canada as of right now so she will be used more likely for projects than to produce "just" Lava's.
Next is...ok not a Roylance baby, she was just doing her guard dog duties while I took photos of them...good guard dog hey! She just looked so cute though and the photo is smack in the middle of all the snake pics.
This next little girl is absolutely gorgeous IMO, I really enjoy the cinder morphs and she is no exception, normally I really dislike combining the anery morphs because it muddies things up a lot, but I can definitely see both separately in the Cinder Ghosts.
More to come....

I might be bias but I have to agree, I love them both too, A LOT!
