BLIZZARD Flavors..chocolate & vanilla

Kerby... Aug 08, 2006 08:22 PM

There is a DQ opening up at Lonesome Valley Reptiles LOL

Bred a male Chocolate to a female Blizzard(albino & hypermelanism). Found out that the Chocolate is also a double het, having two recessive genes (albino & hypermelanism).

I'm going to start calling the Blizzards a "Vanilla Blizzard" and the pure chocolates a "Chocolate Blizzard".

These are the only 2 that have hatched, but I can see more Chocolate Blizzards and more Vanilla Blizzards heads pipping.

I will post a clutch shot tomorrow evening.

Sweet.

I love the melanistics. Melanistics and blizzards are my two favorite cali king morphs but you can never find melanistics for sale anywhere.

I don't know if he still has any from this year, but Don Shores sells them (at least on his website he says he does).

I was tempted to, but other than finding a mate for my lone male, I really should get some other getula before yet another california.
