not really sure of the t type, those colors are pretty acurate. as for the history, i caught it. not really but it would be sweet to. i bought the pair about 3-4 years ago at the hamburg PA show not sure who from though they were 75 a pair
wayne

ok let me see if i can help...

below are two snakes

1st: a T- Cali king: look at the eye color

2nd: T positive Fl. King again look at the eye color

now on your snake which snake's eye color (above) mostly resembles your animal??

I'd say it looks more like the T positive, what does the t stand for? and what are the differences?
wayne

the T stands for Tyrosinase

Tyrosinase (monophenol monooxygenase):
is an enzyme that catalyses the oxidation of phenols (such as tyrosine) and is widespread in plants and animals. Tyrosinase is a copper-containing enzyme present in plant and animal tissues that catalyzes the production of melanin and other pigments from tyrosine by oxidation(Wikipedia definition)

T negative means 100% absents of Tyrosinase enzyme

T positive means Tyrosinase is present...

nice snake... and I'm sure I don't want to know, but why is there a rope hanging from your bedroom ceiling? I could think of a few fun reasons, but... lol

Actually that cable held up that bed! A bit too easy to get it rockin' though...
