I missed it but I saw the picture in the year in review.
Think you could make a green bumblebee?
Nice specimen.

Thanks for the inquiry on the new Spider combo. I am dhrsterling's father. The breeding was a bumblebee male bred to a very cool female that may be it's own morph. When she ovulated she changed in color with crazy blushing and still has it. She actually was bred to a Yellowbelly the first time and took on the Bumblebee breeding. She hatched a different looking Bumblebee, the new Spider combo, a spider and normals (males and females) that look like the mother. So she is definately genetic. The new Spider combo is a female so it will be a few years to utilize her. We have bred the mother to a Yellowbelly one time so far this season to see what happens. Yes we are working to make a green Bumblebee. Thanks. Take Care, Skip

Two pictures are in The Year In Review 2006 by toshamc posted below. It is in the September area. Scroll down a little and check out what we call a Krugerrand. He is a unproven possible morph. Some of the big boys have seen him and agree it is not a Mojave or Butter. We are breeding him to a Mojave female and odds are, another white snake. We will try to take some current pictures. Thanks for looking. Take Care, Skip

Just wanted to say that you guys have some great snakes! I met you at Daytona and I must say that your bumblebee and that new line of caramel you got in are some of the best examples of those morphs i've seen. Plus you had some very cool unproven snakes that looked like some serious dinkin projects.

Good luck!

Quality is key, and its good to see others that seek out the best animals.
