Found this lovely girl on Kijiji! Looks like my search for ribbons has paid off! It's going to be even harder to find her a partner though. Anyone know what sp./ssp. she is? Im totally stumped. Im thinking T.p.orarius but it doesnt seem like a match. She has a beautiful green/blue tone throughout her body. Pictures dont do this lady justice.

Whatever she turns out to be she is gorgeous.

My first guess would have been Gulf Coast ribbon(T.p.orarius).

:eek:I agree with Steve!! Although she does look a little less black than mine and Shy, but every one vaires. I'm sooo jealous!!! I'm so glad we've got another ribbon(especially T.p. orarius!!!)on the forum:D



Edit: Oh yea...Congratulations;)
