Peanut Butter dark/light and normal:

PB clutch (2 different PBs?..a super?

dark PB's

normals and PBs:


dark PB

light PB:

Light PB twins:

A super nice male red PB. Was real dark as a neonate:

Now take a close look at the snakes I got back from ChrisD this year. He just posted a pic of them in the thread below so I ghope he does not mind me using them to make a point. They are a result of breeding a male PB to my female hypo. I will take pics of thes eagain tommorow but they have to either be the lightest normals around or they are PB's. They produced both hypos and PBs:

This is a sex related quirk as I have never produced a light female. But as you can see from the pic of the red male. I have produced dark males.

So far this year I have produced 4 clutches of Jellies (PB to T-) and out of all the clucthes so far I only produced one normal looking baby. Last year I only had one clutch of Jellies and there was also a normal.

So what could this normal be. It is not black like the PB normals, but a shade lighter. Kinda a grey/green color.

Weird and wonderful! Maybe evolution is speeded up at your place! Nature trying to select the next viable phenotype in this (your) new world! Without any predators this may run rampant and you could see many new things. With no types being eliminated naturally, many more variations can/will pop up more rapidly? Just a thought. When you get to ham n swiss lemme know! J/K!!! Cool stuff!

Those are all really nice Rainer. The regulars look a lot like the sulfers as hatchlings. Randy W.
