I have a "pair" that came from a friend, through the internet I was told were Mark Bell ? line. ANYWAY they are 03s and half the size of the other rats I got at the same time and similar sizes. I wanna sit, measure and photo document but got a bad mystery illness so that will wait til I can be more energetic. Til then, I am curious if anyone with experience with some of the hypos has noticed a slower growth or smaller size? I have the male getting more size on him finally. He also shows a white saddle pattern over the orange. He is catching up to the others that I know are 6 ft anyway. The female is a truer orange but a third smaller. I am kinda hep to breed them but obviously want more size on her especially. She is taking mice still and not huge ones. I have thought of going on to rat pups and seeing if I could push her growth but not sure that would really work. She is a willing eater and healthy otherwise. Maybe I am just impatient.
My 'ugly' greenish rats are huge (and mean) Though they are also maturing with a rusty background color that is kinda neat. I have two females I keep but don't really know what I want to do with. I lost the male to a bad reaction to flagyl....same with my whitesided everglades female. So my ratsnakes include
1.0 whitesided everglades
1.0 normal everglades
1.1 hypo everglades
0.2 greenish
1.0 albino yellow
0.1 yellow
Would you look for a male greenish for those girls? They are Dwight Good's line. They coulda been bred two years ago easy but I haven't had time or the male I wanted. I am hoping to have this settled for next breeding season and am open to ideas.
