OK, not new, and a joke, Don identified my long term mystery snake as a Crimson. Maybe a strawberry? he lost me fast, but from the tiny bit I could find about a strawberry it is a different gene for hypo. No way I could be that lucky from whom I got this snake.

So I'm just glad for the chance to post she is hypo A

But Now so confused on what to do for breeding. My plan was a male blood I have. Or do I find some other male or her?

I'm over my head in what to do with her. But sure is fun to think of the options! lol

I love her. She was so dark when I first got her, and after her first shed, she had these two great red colors contrasting each other. Now I thought, OK. not a great blood, which she was sold as. I was told she was so many things by so many people. And people I respect.

I personnally do not see a crimson, now understand it. And even funnier crimsons are a morph I really like. But not ones that look like her.

The more she sheds, the more she changes.

But I have to listen to Don, unless an evil joke lol, I now have to believe she is of crimson blood, and hypo, that part I thought she was.

Trouble is what to breed her with? But she was clearly a younger female when I bought her. Sadly I do not keep records. But I know shes grown, and she was not of breeding size when I first got her. So, I guess year one I bleed to my male blood, and save all thouse babies to create hypo bloods. Honestly I do not know every step to do that. BUT, if shes a good breeder, I hope to have many years of breeding her. So I can have a few projects of personal stock going.

Don also mentioned a strawberry and I can not find much info on them, nor any pictures. A little blurb on the german corn site is about it.

Bottom line is I was sad she is not a bloodred. I thought bloodreds had red bellies as adults?

But I'm beginning to see many advantages to being a hypo crimson.
So, it is all cool. Including her!
first ugly pic the day I got her on my birthday

2nd after first shed, but she seems to lighten after each shed. Developing some white around her saddles.

many thanks, I saw their pics of "strawberry" It's kind of alf way between mine and a candy cane. Now to get a hypo candy cane would be interesting.

thanks again.

I'll try to get some shots of some of mine. Crashed another hard drive and it will take too long to look through back ups to find old shots.

When you hear strawberry referenced in Europe, they're usually talking about pink snows. This is the problem with some of these names. They apply to more than one morph.
South Mountain Reptiles

actually they refered to both. But said teh NON snow strawberry was suspected of a new hypo gene.

"STRAWBERRY was and still is also used for selectivly bred SNOWs (STRAWBERRY SNOW). Now, a special line of STRAWBERRYs is tested to see if it is a new hypomelanistic gene. Very interesting in this case is, that in many of this STRAWBERRY breedings, anerythristic animals pop up in the clutches and that they do not look like GHOSTs, which would be expected."
