| Loma Alta (US Hwy 277) - we have several really
nice alterna phase snakes (all with extensive black on their heads) and
a nice blairs. This location is well-known for producing very
light colored snakes in the wild, and is generally regarded as one of
the nicest locations for a very pretty alterna with a clean, simple
pattern. Price range: $50-100 each |
|
| Alpine-20S - this location is very rare in
collections. Most snakes from this area tend towards buckskin
backgrounds, many are blairs phase with good orange. Most have
some degree of speckling between the blairs bands. Our pair both
have extremely good orange, and our male is one of the most intricately
patterned alterna we've ever seen. We also have an extra female on
breeding loan. Price Range: $100-300 each |
|
| Alpine-6S - another locale that is relatively
scarce in collections, and another population that is very diverse in
its color and patterns. Our snakes from this locale are all
alterna phase animals, and vary from extremely light animals to fairly
dark specimens. Not expected to produce in 2010. Price Range: $75-150 each |
|
| Alpine-W - another locale that is relatively
scarce in collections, and another population that is very diverse in
color and pattern. We have two males from this location, one of
which is a plain buckskin alterna, and the other of which is a
typical dark alterna phase. Not expected to produce in 2010 Price Range: $75-200 each |
|
| Davis Mts - while specimens from this area have
been collected since the species was described to science, this location
is not commonly bred by herpetoculturalists. Snakes range from
exceptionally speckled animals to fairly plain alterna phase snakes.
Watching Davis Mt alterna hatch is like opening Xmas presents - you
never know what's going to hatch. Price Range: $100-300 each |
|
| Nuevo Leon Mountain Kings (Lampropeltis leonis) - although these aren't really the same species as alterna, they are similar enough that I will list them on this page until I get the chance to re-edit my table of contents links. Nuevo Leon Mountain Kings are variously referred to as leonis or thayeri, and are extremely variable, ranging from "leonis"-phase animals (narrow bands) to "milksnake"-phase animals (which, in wild populations, may be nearly indistinguishable from milksnakes) and all colors in between. We should begin producing offspring from this project in 2010. |
