Blacktail Cribos

I've been breeding blacktail cribos for a few years now, and I've found them to be an extremely rewarding species to be working with. This year, my partner and I have finally been able to produce babies from a different line that has more black mottling on the upper 1/3 of the body. We've been focusing on propagating our usual "clean" line with highly contrasting animals and now our "mottled" line.

Here are some pics of both hatchlings and adults from each line...

Wow, what a difference! The mottled looks great John.

guess I'll have to buy a motled line female from you down the road to go with my male from last year!

Zach- I have a yearling male mussy available now, and I'll have hatchlings available in about September.

Chris- I'm WAY female heavy on the cleans, so let me know when you're ready!

Chris,

I bought out the collection of a guy with a large drymarchon collection and these mottled blacktails came from him. He's somewhat reclusive and this was the first anims have left his collection. He claimed to have originally gotten them from Chuck Elliott many years ago. I have since added a few like animals to my mottled group from other sources. This year gave us our first mottled clutch. We should have a few mottled clutches next year.

Interestingly enough, my source for most of these mottled BTs also had some mottled looking unicolors which we also purchased and should produce next year!
