Got BLACK?!?!?!?!?! (Dialup Warning!!!)

nerd_inc Jun 04, 2006 07:32 PM

This is the 2nd Black Golden Child we've hatched this season...to say we're thrilled would be the understatement of the year!!! This snake is so dark & so iridescent that our camera freaks out when we try to take pics. We'll post some outdoor pics in the *very* near future.

Enjoy!

I might have to "rescue" one of those... maybe take em' all off your hands. :D They're great, if I had the money to spend on that kind of thing, I'd have one. Thats amazing. before, my favorite was the super tiger my friend had, solid yellow with a black stripe but DAMN! I think ST just got knocked down a notch. That is absolutly phenominal!!

would in my opinion be the most expensive retic morph to date, Nerd is a quality shop and those pics must honestly represent the animals, which means, kevin must have wood, I know I would hehe, it could be my affinity for all black snakes or perhaps others would agree that is the nicest retic they have ever seen, In years to come that line should produce all white or all yellow retics depending on the strain of albinism mixed into it, countless ops with that morph, I would want it the way it is, but to each their own, Nerd has done it again, Bob Clark must be salivating hehe

I wasn't going to buy one (yha right, id sell everything i own including my first born and then take out a loan from the bank) I was just wondering ballpark what they'd cost. I dont know that much about the morph prices since i cant ever own them. i've seen some things that go up past 100,000$ and ball pythons for 80,000. I was just curious if someone could give me a summary of the general cost of the different morphs, starting with a regular retic, tiger retic, super tiger, those pretty lavendar things, the albinos, the black one, the granites. i'd just love to start a book to add to my 'info' shelf of the prices of the morphs for each 'species'. thanks to anyone who knows.

Very nice, i think the head looks oddly shaped - almost in the same way as the super sable ball python(those are the solid black ones i think)...

You guys produce the most amazing snakes I've ever seen!
What is the sex on this lovely night serpent?

That is Friggin AMAZING!

I berlieve that it will be used to produce pure White Retics, but I cant but help that a line of all black retics would be insane. Like Frank R, I am an avid big black snake person, (Indigos etc) but this retic is AMAZING! Wow. Time to send these pics to all my friends.
Damn...leave it to N.E.R.D. to come up with somthing this badarse!

Amazed, shocked and a little light headed,
