nelsoni head shots

stevep Apr 24, 2007 06:49 PM

All three are 05's.

First one - normal bright red female.

Second picture - bright orange male - getting more & more yellow from Alpha Reptiles.

And third - just picked up from Tim Spuckler @ Third Eye Herps (clever how I made it the third picture). Reverse banded - very high yellow - the entire head is yellow!! I'm starting to really like nelsoni! Now I need more!!!

can somebody explain the pattern on my nelsoni?
i don't know anything about milks, really, but i do know a bit about genetics. she's got some kind of high "black" pattern (actually pink cause she's albino, and still a baby at about 14" in this photo)
i've seen one other like this on the board, and it was described as just "aberrant"
anybody know if this is the kind of thing that breeds true or what?

thanks
