we're here because a hobby became an obsession

some days you're the dog, some days you're the hydrant...don't know who started this saying but it's the truth

Where did you get that one

i bought her and another female locally from a guy who handpicked from a shipment... the color really kicked up as she grew. he originally bought her because of her pattern he had a graziani pastel he wanted to breed to her but i dont think he had the patience to raise a hatchling...it was his only mouse eater im sure that helped too.. i really liked the pattern..the little "mini ringer" and the nose so i couldnt pass her up. The color was a bonus that intensified as she grows....reminds me alot of the "yellow snake" with a paradox twist? lol its definately one you need to see in person.

.....but yours has a faded head....this ones alot more yellow than the pic shows...

Go any belly shots?

she definately doesnt like being belly up but i have a few shots...ill work on getting some different ones.... do you have belly shots of yours? when i saw yours i thought it looked alot like mine except for the head fading and my girls back is pitch black...unreal like nothing i've ever seen before... she turns bluish grey in shed i may have a picture around here somewhere of it..... it has a little blushing but regardless time will tell... I should be crossing her to my het pied once she hits weight..he has a simular nose trait so im wondering if its a dominant trait

My snake has a "normal" looking belly......Yours looks genetic to me, belly, faded head.......you got a great project there!

Still not sure what this one is.......the spiders belly isnt clear either so you never know i guess. Time will tell, keep me posted.

i hope its genetic...with all the little traits or markers i've noticed i hope at least one proves out...im not so sure about the color because it really didnt kick up till the fall and i bought her several months prior...she looked good...had that paradox look but the INTENSE color came later...sorta like all those artics/img's out there....it seems like the color came after she took a rodent bite...then again it was several sheds later when the real color came in....no clue...one of theose freaky things we notice with our snakes....maybe its like some of those traits that just intensify after they grow...she put on alot of weight around the time she intensified.... the spot nose and ringer could prove out as something cool...im thinking the spot nose may be a dominant trait and my het pied male has a blotch on his nose so lets see what happens in the next few seasons! either way she was cool when i bought her and if were breeding why not breed the best females we can...its usually a matter of paying an extra buck or two but select females in your project alway helps in the long run
