Emmanuel, the dude in LA who I purchased the Varaderos from, sent me pics of the 2.2, half of which I should get next week. The first two picks are the girls. I don’t really have a preference over which I get.

They both look nice, but colors are hard to tell from pics when you don’t know if the white balance was working or what type of light they were working with to take the pictures to begin with. Plus shots are at different angles. Quite frankly they both look good and I’m totally psyched to get them.

Again, I’m told they are from the Adam Hess line, but all legal Varaderos in the United States all come from the same place. That kinda bugs me since I would think that would also means one company has control of the import market. But then again they are endangered species to some degree, and this makes it easier to the government to watch over.

Now these second two are the males. I have to say this first pic of the two males is bad ass and I hope Emmanuel gives me this guy. Except I know I was the second to buy the two of two so my chances are low. Still, I’ll ask him again and maybe toss a few extra bucks his way to make it happen. Then again these lines don’t mean the babies will have the same lines, so does it matter?

Plus this second guy is pretty cool with flames running down his back and what looks to me like a little less black on the nose. Either either way I’m happy to have one of these males. Varadero are totally sweet looking and I’m psyched to be getting these in. The hot red and dark black are just amazing and you can see why so many people love the look of them.

Now I have found some breeding Yurimaguensis. I hope. And also a line on some Bajo Huallagas. I’m not sure about the Bajo Huallagas. I really really wanted them before. But now they open up my thoughts on collecting beyond the six morphs I have planned. Still, over time I’ll sell what I have and trade them out. But first I need to move them down to the basement.
