Super Marble Blood?

osomarvelous Sep 17, 2006 04:42 PM

Hey,

Just wanted to confirm if this was a "Super Marble Blood".

Trying to do a search on it now, but can't find any references. I snapped these pics of this beauty at a reptile show today. They are asking 300$ for it. Worth it?

This would be my first blood. So don't know much about the morphs.

Thanks in advanced!

In all honesty you could get a much nicer marble for $300. I don't know that there is exactly a super form of the marble gene, nor a way to determine by looks if it contains to genes for the marble pattern.

But is that even a TRUE Marble? or is it just a Reg Blood with a lot of speckle?

It was taken at the Maryland Fair Grounds, their was a Reptile Show.

Couldn't say for sure. There is alot of variance in the marble morph and some display more of it than others. You can get a highly speckled animal for what they were asking though..

Sweet but nothing special other than the fact that it is a Borneo, and they're all sweet and special in a different way.
