the hets came out glowing, I am so high on these snakes. They just came out so nice. I wish I hatched out more but I think the mother may be gravid with her second clutch. Lets hope for the best. Thanks. Mike Panichi

Beauty! I bred two lav females and one male, one girl was sold to me as a regular lav but looked hypo. The regular female laid a clutch of 10 fertile that all went bad but the suspect 'hypo' laid a clutch of 7 that started good than ended up giving me 4 definite hypos and 1 regular! I guess the male was het hypo. I opened one egg that looked good but started to sweat and found a hideously deformed snake dead inside. Yours are fantastic.

they were fathered by an absolutely crazy male that I bought from rich Z. I think he is a different strain of hypo because this year I picked up a female Hypo lavender yearling from Rich and she couldnt even compare(color wise) to my lavender females. I think there are a few diferent strains. Thanks. Mike Panichi

I'm sure the original Lavenders were bred out to many different snakes with varying genetics. I bought an amel male het Lav from Rich Z. that came from a line of Opal that was very much like a Blizzard, pure white. When I crossed him with my Lav female het amel I got one of the most colorful Opals I've seen. You just never know!

I also bought an opal female from Rich a few years ago and she looked pretty much like a snow exept for some pastel "opals" showing up in the right light. I picked up a yearling male from him this year and the thing looks totally different. She didnt breed for me yet(THE SOB!)but hopefully next season. Later Clint. Mike
