Here is one of the Platinums that we hatched out last week. These things are a really awesome morph. The color is too hard to capture, but she has a ton of pinkish lavender in the sides. Thanks for looking.

WOW just another snake I would have to sell my car or morgage my house to get. Hey how about you give me one and I'll raise it to be a great big beautiful snake and tell everyone how nice you are. Don't I wish this would work.

Your killing me Patrick! You guys need to open a store here in Fla! I will help with all the details! Big Jim

Beautiful looking snakes. No basement should be without one.

Jim

I envy you. I think that basement would be the perfect snake room. California doesn't really have basements, a major disappointment. Thanks for looking.

Ahhhhhh, basements...wouldn't have a home without one. Getting back to the platinums. Has Prehistoric Pets produced platinum tigers yet? If so, I sure would like to see an example of one of yours. I love mine to death and plan to get another one. I'm looking forward to seeing what the platinum supers look like.

No platinum tigers yet, but hopefully this season, or maybe platinum tiger hets!!

Oops, I meant to post after the above:

I am a bit confused. Isn't the platinum/fire morph a co-dom gene? A platinum tiger is the visible het form both for the platinum and for the tiger gene. In other words two co-dom genes in the same snake.

"I am a bit confused. Isn't the platinum/fire morph a co-dom gene? A platinum tiger is the visible het form both for the platinum and for the tiger gene. In other words two co-dom genes in the same snake."

Yeah, they are basically a double visible het for the homozygous forms ivory and super tiger.

Patrick's saying they intend to make something like Platty Tiger het-albino or Platty Tiger het-titanium...something to take the project a step further.

Just my interpretation.

I see, I was not looking at it that way. You are probably correct.

Jim

Kara is correct. I meant that we would ideally be breeding something with an Albino Tiger or some sort of Tiger plus recessive gene. Sorry for the confusion.

I'll see if I cannot extend my time off this week and come in on Tuesday. I'll be down in Lancaster tomorrow and Monday.
That would be SO cool if I could get over there
