New Calico Photos

dwherp Jun 27, 2007 05:26 PM

Thought I'd share a few photos. This shot is the one I like best......it comes closest to showing the actual colors. I put the super pastel in as a reality check. Although the pink on calicos gradually turns to snow white as they grow, the vibrant orange shown on some calicos (such as this one) will often remain unchanged even into adulthood.

Here is the whole clutch. They hatched about two weeks ago and the three calicos are some of the nicest I've produced. Next month we should see the grand unveiling of the super calico, if there really is to be such a mythical creature.

Although not the whitest calico, this yearling female shows some very nice orange. Notice how the pattern becomes more and more abstract toward the tail. Every time I look at calicos I can only think - MAJOR COMBINATION POTENTIAL.

Thanks for looking,
Dan

Thanks Michael, any time you are in Montana with your snakes drop by and we'll share some brews and take photos. Any chance you'll be bringing last year's pastel calico to the Daytona show - I hear it's gotten even more outrageous looking.

Take care,
Dan
