Hi Thomas,

good to see that you made the way over the pond to share some pics of your amazing hondurensis stuff. I prefer your aberrant tricolor hypos.

Here some more honduran - this guy I bought last year as a "Vanishing Albino" - the red rings a reduced. His brother has no complete red rings. - this "naming" will produce some misunderstandings, because "Albino Vanishing" "Hybino Vanishing" are looking completly different -
Maybe you have some better ideas how this guy should be called...

And this was the perfect surprise of 2006 breeding season -
this wide yellow banded (will post another foto next time) snow female is the result of a mating between my anerythristic, het. hypo, het. albino Male X hypo, het. anerythristic Female -
but this mating could never produced a Snow - so the female must be also heterozygot for albino - which gives me a 1/16 chance for this snow lady... - in a clutch of 5 eggs - jackpot

That little gem would also be 100% het hypo then.What was in the rest of the clutch?

Three of them you see at the picture - the two other are normal TriColors - one of them the female has some white blotches at the bottom. I hold back the snow (female), the TriColor and the anerythristic which is left on the picture - in 2009 I will breed them with a very pale Hypo from the same bloodline -
lets see what will happens

cool,
Its weird you didn't see any hypos or ghosts?Maybe with a larger clutch you will.I hope you do the same breeding asain this year.

Shannon

come to think of it you have a 1 in 32 chance that its a pearl (triple homozygous) but there is really no way to tell untill you breed it out.To bad both adults yopu have weren't hypo then it would be a pearl.

Shannon

I would not call him a vanishing anything.If it was a wild type homo it would just be aberrant cause he/she would have tons of black that overtakes the red rings.
Vanishing would be the opposite.
If you want to see vanishing albinos contact John Lambert he has the best ones I have ever seen

Shannon

I agree with you - as I mentioned I thought that Vanishing Albino is not the right name for this coloration.
## very nice snake, hoping to produce something like this in the next years ###
