Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Hello,

I just got the new page uploaded to Kingsnake.com now. I'm still working on a few of the bugs, but it is almost complete. I tried to post pics, but I couldn't figure it out yet, so I just copied and pasted the link to the page where the new pictures of the Fresh Shed Motley Salmon Jungle and the Carmel Albino Columbian (also former known as the T positive).
Many people have asked, so here they are.

I said I would post pics, so here they are.

Thanks Kingsnake for finally working out the Buggs and getting the site up to your homepage.

First off, awesome snakes. It is absolutely amazing what you have done with them.
I've noticed that a lot of the T positives I see have crazy saddle shapes, often with widows peaks. Do you think this is a pattern and color morph? Any other thoughts?

Thanks,
Matt

Sharp Albinos also tend to have broad saddles with small peaks. Here is a picture of mine (taken by Ron Michelotti). I haven't taken any pictures yet, but I don't think he'll mind.

The Sharp Albinos and Caramel Albinos and their hets (unless from Hypo litters) seem to have the same saddle shape. I think this is simply due to the locality origins of the two morphs. I know Tracy has introduced new blood into her T-Plus. There was a picture of a Yellow one that had thin concave saddles. So I don't think it is due to the morph. I think in both cases it is just due to the origins of the founder stock. However, I LIKE IT! Look on Ron's site, you'll see the het. T-Plus babies he has, they also have the same saddle shape.

Matt,
That is a great question. IT is very weird how some of the T positives have "Batman" saddles. Almost like they are some different kind of Locality, but that isn't the case. They are 100 percent Columbian. You bring up a very good point. They may also be a pattern variation. The Saddles are different. Some of the Hets are differet too. The most interesting thing to this Gene is the Different color. Tracy Calls this the "Pink Panther". The female I used in this breeding was the Highest Pink of the girls I have. She definatley passed on this Bright pink gene to her babies. I have never seen color as bright as the Motleys from this line. The Motleys have a STRONG color in the tail. They are very "pastel" like. I just bred a Ronne Pastel to the Motley, and those babies are awesome too, but they don't have the color of the Motleys from the Carmel Albino.

I would love to hear VPI's Take on this question. They would be better educated to answer this question since they have done numerous T positive Breedings.

Hope this helps.

Take Care, Jeremy

Congrats on the website!!! I am impressed by the colors and the layouts! great job! Andy

right clicking the image, and select view image. After you have just the image in the browser window, righ click and select "copy image location". Then paste that between "img" tags as you would for multiple pics. I'll do it here to see if it works.
