Arizona Mountain Corn?

Just Kidding, no it's not a hybrid. For some reason the camera was just a little generous, or maybe it was the direct sunlight instead of the usual artificial flash?? Anyway, I thought it was a cool pic anyway.

. . . but there is something very wrong with that snake. If you send it to me, I'll see what I can do to fix it. I don't think it would survive once it got here so remove it from your inventory log as soon as you ship and forget all about it. Unless you have more like it. You should also send those.

Just tryin' to help,

I look very forward to breeding the parents again next year (gave mom the season off this year). So in 2004 not only will mom and dad be back on line, my five hold backs should be big enough as well. You're sort of thier grandad, thier dad is an EC366. This clutch turned out better that I ever expected, however, like I said before, the camera was generous... this guy is red, but not exactly THAT red.

Don't be so humble. Sure, there's an amount of luck in this hobby. Trial and error is the order of the day. You gambled and you won. The combination of snakes it took to make that beauty (lucky or not) was right on target. Can you imagine the candy canes from those? Ouch!!!

Needless to say, put me on the list for some of those next year. Can't wait. . . . . .but I will.

They all have a 50% chance of being het amel, I am hoping there is no gold underneath that silver. Here are some sibling pics. The one in the original post is male, I am undetermined if he is hypo or not. Here is a sister that is definately hypo.

carol Aug 04, 2003 11:10 PM

This one took after the keys side of the family and is definately hypo.

carol Aug 04, 2003 11:11 PM

This one has the most black of all of them.

carol Aug 04, 2003 11:16 PM

Poor girl got the short stick in background color, but sure makes up for it in pattern.

DonSoderberg Aug 04, 2003 11:36 PM

. . . wierd belly pattern thing on them? Some of mine have that blank part going down the center of the belly between the black spots. Kinda like some of the out crossed bloodreds. ???

Three of them have it, the light male has it most of all, followed by the super bright hypo and then the one with the gold background. The other two including the first one I posted don't really have it?? I remember letting go of one that had almost no pattern.

DonSoderberg Aug 05, 2003 12:27 AM

That's it, but your's have much more red on the belly than mine did. Perhaps that is from the rosy rat??? However it came to be, it's awesome. I'm so impressed. You have an outstanding line of snakes there. Kudos.

Here is a better pic of that sister along with the one in the original post. This is a real close representation of what they look like in filtered sunlight.
