>>Wow!,.......I'm sure some milk guy's were tripping all over themselves in an attempt to "land" that unique looking joker!

>>

>> So why was it "shown" in the first place?, and about when?

>>

>> Are you saying THAT particular animal was on the "auction block" a long while back?



yep, was on the block--on the classifieds--in 2001, i think. That's the date i have associated with the pic i posted. One reason i overlooked it I think was that it was priced cheaply (remember this was the day of the $3,000 albino and the $5,000 snow) for maybe 750, 900, 1350, I'm not sure. But the price seemed more like the prices people were hanging on every snake that had a few scales out of place or a different hue of orange than its clutchmates, giving them special names and holding out for big bucks. So I glanced and passed. Dumb!



The two pix shown here of the same animal are circa 2004.



I post them in case anybody has a better idea what the snake is/was--both the ssp AND the nature of the morph are fair game for discussion. On the latter issue, it seems to me it's like a tangerine in that the narrow and wide rings are the same color, but this is one of those uncommon instances where that happens with a red snake rather than an orange one. And the black rings are split by white. Very odd. The linked pic gives a view of the head ring which may help someone better ID it, though with all the other color/pattern changes seeming to take place (including to black rings), who knows what might or might not have been altered on that part of the coloration and pattern.



Ideas, anyone?
