It will be great to see what Motley does with every other morph.

It is what I think it is? A SUNGLOW MOTLEY! Congrats Chris. So are you numero uno for the Albino AND Sunglow Motley then.

Good luck with it, the big belly looks delicate. I know Jeremy said to be careful with them.

Killer snake, glad to see one this year as expected. I'll keep my fingers crossed that he'll make it through the first week or so and stay strong and make an excellent breeder one day. Congrats again, Trey Schneller

Major Congrats Chris,

After seing that and all the other Albino Motleys, I'm convinced you produced the Sunglow Motley 2 years ago. That is pretty cool. The first Albino Motley a SUNGLOW Motley. Lets hope this one will be OK. Some albinos and Sunglows have that belly thing, and I wish there was something we could do about it!!!! Well at least we know of what to expect. The cool thing with adding the Hypo to the Motley is that NO TWO are alike. So the Sunglow Motleys are going to all be VERY different and quite WILD. I bet that is Awesome to have babies in FEBRUARY. I have only had that happen one time.

SELECTIVE BREEDING AT IS FINEST!!!!!!! That was my FUTURE Fantasy as of 1997. Funny how things come along. That makes this hobby/business/whatever so much fun.

CONGRATS Chris,

Jeremy

chris nicholas Feb 24, 2007 09:38 PM

I appreciate all of the kind words. The litter was a little smaller than expected, but I will take any babies over zero babies. I do believe its a sunglow motley, other albino motleys were born in the litter and they are definitely different. I hope the big belly goes down, which it should. I think that makes two first, the albino motley, and the sunglow motley, now I need about eight hundred more firsts to catch up with Stone, Kahl, Weiztman, Ronne, Barker and the like.

I wish all the best of luck. March is right around the corner and I am slated for some more goodies!

Thanks,
Chris

WOW, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!! Very nice Chris! That Motley boy I got from you is working two females this year, he's a true stud. Thanks again and good luck with your other projects this year. Long live the Motley King, lol.

That is a very beautiful snake! It would look even better in my snake room! That is a great way to start off this year! Love the normal Motley poss het albino too!! These boas are so much fun to do-very challenging, but when you see things like this today it makes it all worthwhile and gets you excited about doing all the cool projects. Looking forward to seeing updated pics of such beautiful animals.
