This one was very black from a young age with very little pattern. There are a lot out there that are older and have darkened right up, hopefully there will be more that are dark from a young age. I personally think they look awesome.

By "hills" I assume you mean a highland local? I'm just making sure for my own knowledge.

Not really.... Imbricata are only found in a small section of the south west of WA. A lot of the wild caught specimens tend to be from areas like Getaldton, Yanchep, Mandurah, etc. These are all coastal locations. In Perth we refer to the hills as the eastern or the area inland from Perth (Perth is also coastal). There really isn't really highland. As the hills east of Perth are only about 450m above sea level. Most of the area known as the darling range is what I'd call hills. Areas like Kalamunda, Toodyay etc.

No, lower southwest locale, coastal region. I must say though, understandingly in all fairness to the taker, the exact location was not specific, although I've not heard of anymore like this been taken since he was.

To put into perspective the hills being about 450m above sea level at the highest parts. The mean area of California is about 884 meters above sea level. With Cali's highest peaks being around 2,740 meters above sea level.

From Niall or Marcus?
From Niall.
I am surprised just how much the colours are intensifying with each shed. I have another one that is going to be something special, but she is a real maniac and difficult to photograph. If she is anything like the older girl Niall has I will be pretty happy. It will be interesting to see if/how these colours breed on into the future. Hopefully they will be up to breeding size next season.
Have you got any from this locale?

Not yet... I'm after a specific colour that Niall only has one of and it's not for sale. But I'm confident he will get another from the same property.
I don't know if it is the change of environment, food, or age or a combination of all of these things but the colour change has been quite dramatic over the last few sheds. Really looking forward to seeing what variation exists in the offspring.
It certainly would be nice to see more like the big female Niall has in the hobby that's for sure.

Here is the latest pics of Cleo. She is now just over 3 is very close to 6 foot long and I'm guessing 4 - 5 kgs.
Sorry about the quality of the photo's, this is usually the wife's domain.
