Looks like a female to me, but I'm probably wrong.

[zooplan]

really dark vent for a parietalis
is her back as dark as that?

@Stefan, I´m quite shure your right

nice specimen,
seems to be in a good shape
I´ve started with some of these coloration too, but breeding for "high red" like the Kansas type.
Parietalis´ colour and pattern is depending on a lot of genes so you can get spectacular offspring by breeding red sideds from different locations.

the high reds are hard to come by. Next week if the still have him im gonna buy her mate.

Looks like a female to me, Josh....even though she's a stubby!!

looks like a female!! I will be working with some nice Kansas red siders....as soon as I can get back there....Scott Felzer's colorless red sider is from there..from a w/c female I caught. I am hoping to get back there this next summer to visit my parents and do some herping!!!!!

I´ve started my breed with this male:

and females from different breeders in Germany

[Josh]

im not sure if i said it but, i think i might pick up her , mate from the store

[Josh]

with the kind i have is there any way i can breed some hight reds?

[zooplan]

even your first offspring should vary in color and pattern.
You would have to pick the best and breed them again.
When you´ve done this for some generations you will get high reds.
But if you can get a male like mine it would be like seven league boots
for the progression of your breeding.
