She’s actually my favorite snake, both for looks, and because I’ve owned her for 10 years.

I love the black and white because of the contrast. In what direction are you talking your breeding plans? I really like the Maxx pink stuff, but I think that everyone likes that lol.

Maxx Pink are cool, but I don’t have the space or the money. There was a time when I could choose between working with Maxx Pink or T+ Albino, and I chose the Albinos. As for where I’m going with my Argentine group, I intend to continue to produced pure OS animals, and in the Future I intend to breed T+ Albino and to produce hets by crossing T+ x OS. I could see possibly adding Motley into the mix, but Motley Argentines are very rare, so we’ll see if I get the opportunity.

What does OS mean? Never been a fan of the maxx pink to be honest. A nice crisp contrast is hard to beat IMO

OS stands for Ophiological Services, the company name of Eugene Bessette, the breeder who founded this lineage. He purchased a pair of animals from the only ever legal importation of BCO (back in 1987) and this line is descended from them.
