Chris:

The two motleys I bought from you are doing great. I have been told by other motley breeders that your motleys are some of the finest looking in the herp community. It was a pleasure doing business with you. I look forward to our conversations.

This is a photo of the female 100 % het for albino that I purchased from you. I am not a very good photographer, but with snakes that look as good as yours, you don't have to be.

Thanks for being one of the good guys....

Thank you for the kind words, the real secret is the food coloring I add to the babies right after they are born to add more color, sometimes I even use black marker to draw in the patterns! LOL

Thanks!

Brian, great snakes, great website! Yes, Chris told me how he was doing the coloring and marking thing, so I tried it on my last litter. His technique is so good that the look you want is there right as the mom delivers! Thanks Chris!

They are JOKING...

The dye isn't really food coloring.While it is chemically similar, the dye they use is designed specifically for snakes. It is commonly marketed as "Gotcha Good:snake dye drop" or "Morph in a bottle". While expensive, you can see that it REALLY pays off. If 2 drops are applied to the top of the mothers head right after the "waxy stool" is passed, a perfect litter can be achieved. Use one drop if you want to look legit and produce some "hets" too!
