Thank you, "fliptop". My personal favorite would be that one "regular" blotchless specimen. Picture doesn't show, but it is already gaining lots of red ventrally and laterally. The whitesided blotchless specimens is what I was aiming at, but I was quite suprised to see it resulting in an all white snake, rather than the extremely clean patterned whitesided snake I imagined they would be. I think they eventually will become a radiant yellow snake all over, which would be cool to say the least. The albino whitesided blotchless snakes for instance were snow white right after their first ecdysis, but are already gaining lots of yellow. So I guess I'll just have to push myself to keep posting pictures periodically as they mature.
Another project I was working on was the axanthic brindle Black Ratsnake. I recently had 27 hatchlings out of 27 eggs, about half of them brindle. Since it takes about a year to reliably pick the axanthic ones from the normals, I decided to part with them, thereby enabling myself to focus on my albino / whitesided / blotchless Yellow Ratsnake project, which I find more interesting to be honest. I only have so much time, and it's not like they're gonna make me a million dollars. Maybe next year.
