Help needed in Identifying color morphs>

gratefuldead Aug 28, 2006 02:35 PM

A buddy had an atrox that just dropped these color phases as well as a few others that I've never seen before. Can someone identify these so he knows what he's selling?

Maybe some sort of lavender albino or something?

This snake looks to be showing both Albino and Hypermelanistic. The first post shows a Nice Normal and a Hypermelanistic side by side.
Very Nice animals..

The first photo appears to be some type of melanistic/hypermelanistic, and the other one seems to be some type of hypomelanistic or maybe a lavendar amelanistic, but I'm not sure.

Do you have any more photos? I can't offer a lot of money or anything as I'm currently a grad student working with copperheads in the Ozarks, but out of curiousity do you have any idea what he is asking for these animals? I'd also just like to see more photos regardless.

Thanks,
