Those calicos are rippers selfcontrol.

Echiopsis, those pilbaras are some of the best I've ever seen, must have been hard to walk away from them lol

That male Calico is absolutely absurd, one of the best I've seen.

If you don't mind me asking , at what age did he start to turn calico and how fast has it happened?

This is my BHP, she is 2 years old and was bred by Snake Ranch, she is NT locale.

Sorry about the bad pics, she is currently shedding and have been waiting for her to gain some weight. She is definitely putting on weight but not as much as I was hoping for. She is on large adult rats and Adult Quail, she gets fed twice a week (doesnt like the quail much though).

Wow they are some great looking BHP's
Love the male, really good looker.

 

[selfcontrol]

thanks for the kind words guys he looks better in the flesh i have to say
When he eats the color really intenisifies around his head neck area.

The males shed at around 18 months old was a dramatic change i thought it was dead.
Each shed since i believe he is still changing ever so slightly.

males stages


Female sibling probably started changing around the same time but the change has not been as dramatic
there are some before pics in old thread here
