Today I’ll profile the last of the Brazilian Rainbows I am breeding this year, Hills. Hills is a male who loves to climb, and when held will head straight for your head -- so was named for Sir Edmund Hillary…shortened to “Hills” to avoid gender confusion. Hills’ birthdate in unknown, but from his size I’m guessing 2007 or 2008. As of month end December, he weighed in at 1630 grams, which is about how much my other senior males averaged at 32 months -- and this was after some catch-up growth.
Although not as ornery as Vlad, Hills too is a little hard to photo-manage, and last session would not sit still for his outside shots. So here are some inside shots:
Front
Top
And, one of the few good outside picts, a side shot:
(Note the restraining hand.)
For a limited time only, he’s also available in a necktie model:
Thanks to my buddy Ethan for modeling. ;-)
I have paired him up with Alexandrite (see thread here: http://www.therainbowboa.co.uk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=656) for this breeding year. Between her genes and his vibrant orange, I’m hoping for great things. Fingers crossed!
Thanks for looking, |

| Thanks Ash! I have two: Vlad-Topaz and Hills-Alex. I could have more (some people will breed at 2.5 years and 1500 grams), but am very reluctant to breed animals younger than three years/2000 grams. I have only one I've even been tempted to try it with, and only because she grows like a weed on crack-laced fertilizer. I post updates on breeding process on the LGR Facebook site if you're interested. |

An updated picture of Hills, after a nice meal as he headed towards the heat.
This was taken shortly before introducing the pair, as I really don’t want to disturb them right now.
Thank you, |

Wow, how did I miss this one? I'm getting senile in my old age.  Hills is beautiful, Cliff. I love his rich orange coloring. He's going to help produce some really gorgeous babies, I can't wait to see them! Thanks for sharing the pics with us.  |
