Beautiful!!!

Yeah, nice. Thanks for the pic. I thought you were talking about some new captive bred morph or something. It's not too difficult to find one in my area (Clark Co. WA) with a body that looks just like that. Undersides are like that on all of them around here. The only thing different from my local concinnus is the colorful head and neck area. The yellow on his upper labials, and behind his jaw would be blue or blue/white(like the uppermost underside) and mostly black head lacking all but a tiny bit of faded orange. There's something about that little detail difference in the head and neck that somehow makes the whole snake look prettier!

I sure do like the look of the Benton County OR ones though. Mostly or completely orange head and lots of orange on the side. Did you say you were attempting to breed one that was all or nearly black in the body but an all orange head? That would be so cool.

Yes, he is sooo pretty! The "yellow" on the labials is actually a lime green color. Hard for a camera to capture. It actually contrasts with the red so much it clashes and makes his cheeks glow!!!

Yes, I am working on something like that. I have two females, they are both nice, but one of which is pretty darned close to the goal already. Solid red head, very black body with only tiny red markings, and a lime green stripe. Now to just remove the rest of those red spots!!! The male that I had gotten with these two females was actually even MORE reduced red. But he never grew and he died. I see concinnus for sale every hamburg show, but the majority of them are mistreated and emaiciated, so it's rare to come across such a stunning specimen in great shape!
