Yup, that's correct, and they're protected in their native range.

Thanks. She doesnt really have any color like all the easterns I have seen before. She has no orange or yellow in her at all. She does have a bit of paramiding on her but its not to bad.

Thanks. She is very friendly and sweet. Just wish she was more colorful lol. I live right on the edge of some woods and I do know there is a very good looking male that lives there at least I think he still does. I haven't seen him but once or twice this summer. Hopefully he is still around I want to get some pics of him. I also live seeing them when I drive around on the back roads. It's nice to know they are still wild ones around were I live.

That's kind of what I though after doing some reading here. I also am positive she is cb as she does have a little bit of paramiding not much but there is some. She will be going outside this summer in a nice big pen.
