No, I've seen six animals from the clutch that produced the purple male, they're all good S.m. madagascarensis. (I own 2.2 from the clutch and a friend has 1.1. Gila91 has one of my pairs.) The purple male is a typical looking animal, except the ground color (and that the cream markings on the tail are starting to turning a salmon/orange color). Certainly any of the Sanzinia in the states could be the result of crossing as the western "sub-species" was only recognised a few years ago. However, all these snakes appear similar to the greens and all but this male have the greenish tinge typical of the "sub-species".

I'll probably be unable to control bragging if I actually get any offspring, so I'll let you know if I do.

I know people in Europe breed more of these guys than we do here in the states. Any ideas on color carrying genetics from over there??
