Living Gems Reptiles is making a few select cuts to its breeder lineup, as we continue to prune our collection to focus on only the best of the best. This is getting to be an increasingly difficult process, as each cut leaves us with a better overall pool and therefore tougher choices.
Our first cut this time is “Drake,” a mature adult male. Born on September 21, 2007, Drake was one of our three founder animals. He was named for Sir Francis Drake, due to his tendency to take off and explore. Drake has an even orange-brown coloration and an intriguing side pattern mix that combines ultrathin but glowingly neon crescents and full eclipses (about 35-40% coverage). A beautiful snake, he currently weighs 2186 grams -- making him our largest male by far, and almost as big as our largest breeder females.
Here is from the left side:

Note he is showing evening “whitewalls” in both of those photos, which slightly intensifies his top orange because it obscures his more subdued sides. So here is one final picture from four months ago in his viv (which has bad lighting, but gives you the other extreme):
As with all Living Gems animals, Drake is a premium animal that came from a top private breeder, has been hand-raised at our facility since he was only a few months old, and ships with highly detailed care records.
Drake is available for $275.00 plus shipping. We guarantee live arrival provided there is someone there to sign for and inspect the package.
