Hey everyone! For those of you who don't know, I have been looking for a Sonoran Gopher for months, and I finally found him at the Tucson Reptile Show! He is truly a dream come true and I could not be happier!

He is a 50/50 mix between a Sonoran Gopher and San Diego Gopher. He holds the Sonoran pattern, while displaying caramel and pink tones at the same time. Pictures don't do this one justice!

Pictures can't even begin to show his subtle pinks.

He is one of the most mellow snakes I have ever handled.

What do you think? Thanks for looking!
 
Nice looker, you got yourself a nice snake there. :)
If cosmos ever hisses or hollers, just ignore it.

I love my pits and plan on breeding next year. Same mix as well. I want to give it a try.

If you haven't seen her, search out Selu. your baby could get over 6 feet. :)
 
Congrats, Allison! VERY nice! The first thing I saw when I walked in were the albino gophers on Grand Canyon's table. I purposely REFUSED to look at them as they have always been a weak spot for me... and I REALLY can't start another set!!! LOL. Maybe when I retire... LOL.

Thanks tricksterpup! I have always been a big fan of Selu.
Cosmos gave me a nice deep his last night but it was more funny than scary.

Haha yep, the front stretch of tables were my favorite! I made the entire sweep then came back to them. :)

Thanks, what does Shakthi mean?
 
***Edit --- My mistake, when I said Sonoran Gopher X San Diego Gopher I actually meant CAPE Gopher. Just too excited over here :).
