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.

Incredible, that thing is unreal. Congrats on seeing the project through. I agree, better than a luecistic. Wow.

And Co-Dom! There's not enough burm morphs out there. Can't wait to see what they look like in a couple years!

Pretty cool, Congrats on the hatchling.
Good luck with it & the project.

And a big dang it, if anything could potentially lure me back into burms, that coud do it.

Congrats.

Beautiful snakes. It's always good to see something new from them especially since it doesn't happen often with Burms. I've always liked burmese but I never actually got any...this may change now!
I do think the name needs some work though...lol
Maybe the original could be Lesser Platinums and the new baby could be the platinum? Phantom Lucy just doesn't make sense to me.....

I know we had a big problem with the naming. We all expected Leucistics. And after all that we just settled on Phantom Lucy( (Jeffs Wife Patricia Named them) as its the closest we could come with still keeping with the Lucy theme... Even though its not a leucistic.

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...

First off - VERY AWESOME & BEATIFUL!!!

But, where do you find the room to run several different Burm projects? I am sure you have a snake facility or store or something... But it must take up a LOT of room to run a bunch of Burm projects?

Just curious.

~Alan

We have a lot of different Friends in th business. Co-owned and Co-Bred animals cuts down on the space needed to keep a Big Collection.. And We actually have three facilities in 2 states...
No snakes in the house. All in outside Buildings.

I've never been a fan of burm morphs (too boring), but that is one I definitely wouldn't mind owning. Maybe in 10 years! LOL!

CONGRATS!!!

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.

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.......
