Very interesting markings...I have never seen one with such pronounced dark band between the two sections before.

Do others in the area show the same dark band?

Looks like little devil horns ;P

A friend of mine actually caught these down by Yuma. A lot of the one's he has gotten from there have had similar markings.

I wonder if it's just a colormorph or a subspecies...or a seperate species for that matter....Probably just a colormorph.

I'm curious to see what Dave thinks about it...or if he has seen this coloration...I know I haven't.

Very cool though.

I'm not sure look in the classified section, use the search. I have normals for sale, but If I found these I would probably keep them for breeding projects.

Good luck. These guys are not esy to breed. Don't beleive I've heard of any successful rearing of desert hairy young.
