Platinum And Phantom Burmese.. New and E

ballroom Jul 05, 2007 09:31 AM

Finally after months of waiting and wondering whats coming... Its time for the July fireworks.
One and a half years ago we imported a group of animals we called Codominant Hypo burmese.. For the clarification of the morph we have re-named them to Platinum Burmese... It was the first ever Co-Dominant burmese mutation. With its looks similar to the Lesser Platinum Ball, we anticipated that there would be a super form. Our thoughts were that it would be a solid White Snake with Black eyes similar to the Leucistic Ball or Super Lesser ....
Well. we were wrong.. Here is the result... Its NOT a Leucistic Burmese Its much better....We are naming it the Phantom Lucy.
There has been a lot of rumors surrounding this project and these Babies So for clarification... The first Clutch of them was produced By Jeff Wilson and Aubrey(B) Puritt.
All the Phantoms Died full term... Giving us the wonder if it could be a lethal gene or if the crossing of mother to son was just too close... Happy to say with this clutch, As you can see, its not a lethal gene...
There are a lot of other " Hypo Burmese" out there..I even have a "Hypo" Dwarf Burmese But there is only one line of Platinum Burmese. Many other "Hypo" Burmese are known to be crosses of Indians or Celans to Burmese..While others the genetics, if any, are unknown. Some have said that they have the key to the leucistic burmese..I cant wait to see theirs... The Known Bloodlines of these are only owned By a few individuals. I know them all as they were all sold by myself and Neil Golli. None of them are currently for sale.
Hope you like the Phantom Lucy as this is the first of Many Exciting New Burmese projects that we will be showing off over the next several months and years.

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL snakes. Curious if the rest of the clutch turned out to be hypo, normal or both? I bet they would produce some amazing crosses. Great things are certainly happening to a very deserving person, well done!!!

Sitting on the edge of the chair to see what else comes out of those incubators.......

We got a few Pewters in the clutch and no normals. Too bad it was a small clutch.
Thanks for the interest.
How are those 1/2 Dwarf Double het albino granite babies Doing???

They are doing great. They are eating f/t like champs and really starting to put on weight. We are hoping they will be up to breeder size next year and produce 1/2 dwarf albino granites, granites and albinos.

Congratulations Michael... that is incredible!! I can't imagine what it must feel like to hold a one of a kind animal that you hatched. You must be thrilled!

ballroom Jul 05, 2007 03:05 PM

Just wanted to Clarify a few things.I missed in my original post. These Snakes were produced in conjunction with Jeff Wilson and Aubrey Pruitt... I can not take the credit here...Without these guys these snakes would not exist this year........ Congratulations to Both of You also...

.... hindsight is definitely 20/20. Now I am kicking myself in the rear for not buying the whole original group from you when you called to offer it to me for a very low price two years ago.

Congrats, they are beautiful.

Yes, I see that. And I am glad that I was wrong about that. It's very exciting to see new morphs emerging in the hobby. I just love it.

Congrats again times a thousand man. Way to go.

I AM SO GLAD THAT THE RUMORS CAN BE PUT TO REST. ITS NOT FUN TO LOOSE SLEEP OVER SNAKES AND BOY HAVE I MISSED ALOT OF SLEEP WONDERING IF THIS WAS TRUE. BIG CONGRATS TO YOU GUYS AND THANKS FOR LETTING ME IN ON THE PROJECT (EVEN THOUGH I DONT GET MUCH CREDIT FOR BEING THE FIRST TO OWN THEM) BUT HEY IF YOU CANT WIN BE SPECTACULAR, AND BOY THESE DUDES ARE. I SHOULD BE SEEING MY FIRST ONES REAL SOON. AGAIN THANKS AND CONGRATS GUYS.

Nice animals! Leathal gene! thats a new one for me. The bottom pic looks allot like the hypo burms I have seen that have been imported into the country and may hold the key to the ultimate burm morph. Big Jim
