anyone have a pic of a blushing albino at hatching?....

are they faded like a snow.?.....or are they an albino that is normally yellowed with a brighter yellow around the yellow's edge?.......

.......hard to ask........

........anyone have a pic of a fresh out of egg snow?...

........yes I have 2 babies coming out right now that are light lavender colored with really faint yellow coloring.....

(the lav color is just the muscle showing through the skin like in alot of white snakes)......but they are kinda cool....

.......I got one het amel that looked axanthic in an earlier clutch...and yes it is still very pretty ,and yes it has changed to add alot of color to it now.......

.......just wondering if I have axanthic in my amel line ......never know.......(using an albino ,2 of his albino sons and 7 hets).........BHB albino.......

Thanxx........

(no,,,,no pics, wonder were the cameras are actually???)......been years now.

The Yellow Blush Albino's as hatchlings look alot like Snow's. Faint pattern and very light all over. The Hets look like Axanthics with a slight Greenish appearance. The Yellow Blush Albino's become more contrasty with age and then they start to blush yellow randomly and more so as they age. The hets become above average looking but with more of a normal color.

I`d say you could have axanthism in your amel. project, but it doesn`t matter anyhow because balls......... aren`t worth anything. Sound familiar????.........

you all think balls will make you rich.......

bred pastel to pastel......get 3 normals and a male nice pastel.....get $125 if lucky for male pastel and $15 each for normals.....$170 clutch........OH ! and throw the 2 super pastels into the trash can.......that's what I did today.....

again......these newbies think they can buy a pastel pair and make a million........I bred 3 female pastels to pastel and got 0 supers this year.......nice huh.....and you gotta wonder about my attitude??????............threw over #10G in the trash this year.....more probably......

........anyways......I checked the snows out online and these things look snow to me.........guess I gotta keep them for awhile and see what happens.......then if I keep them get an axanthic to breed with them and see what happens....

Thanxx for replies.........I have no idea what snows are worth anyways........

Congrats Jeff!

I'm itching to see these things. You need to find that camera.

I'll but them from you $15 a pop. You probably already have too many white snakes. =P

I have no whites........I almost wrote that I have nothing that can make a white........but I remembered the 3 YB......I might get some lesser ,mojaves this year yet?.....maybe a pin.......can't afford a clown with 10G in the trash......

......these things are cool......look Jolliff snow at least to me......no way Barczyck would know if the amel was poss het or if Ian would remember where or who or what state the hets were from even.,.......(that started this all).....

.........cameras?.........hhhmmmm........I wish I would too.......LOL........no time, no brains.......

.......Thanxx..........

If you spent 10k on snakes and bred them all together and the result is simply admiting you have a bad attitude, than apparently you think balls were going to make you rich just like all these "newbies."

It shouldn't be all about profit, man. For most of us its a hobby, not a career. Its about keeping animals you love, not what its going to do to your bank account. Don't get me wrong, a few extra dollars isn't a bad thing...

...But either way, it seems your luck is turning around with these pretty white snakes your telling us about. Enjoy it. And be sure to post picks for us so we can oogle at them

I didn't spend any on snakes this year...I never went in debt to buy anything....every morph I got paid for itself in a year or two........

I threw at least 60 balls / eggs in the trash.....lots of lost cash..........

I had over 800 eggs this year.....29 ball clutches and alot of colubrids.......still have most here yet......noone buying squat around here......and I am noit selling $50 corns for $10.......they can grow or die here.......?

........anyways..........you wouldn't believe how many clutches I had male normals come out first.........they seem to know they suck and come out first......I missed alot of odds......I better get good stuff next year.....

I did prove out some poss hets.......I did get pieds from poss het........I did get some good stuff and am keeping some sweet girls........then I can mae more spiders,pastels and sell them for $40..........right?.....

hobby is fun......but 300 snakes for 17 years plus 1000 rodents, full time job and a house gets on your nerves?......right?......

........I would sell ALOT of critters and cut them in half or mroe , but noone buys in Pa........

LOL...........the one guy at work wants to eat them........

hhhmmmmmmmmmm..........

Some of the sib's look axanthic at hatching as well. By the time they were approaching their 2nd shed, their pattern was becoming pronounced and the sib's color was starting to look more normal. The albinos are now yearlings around 800g, their patterns are nice bright yellow, but the yellow blush has not shown up yet... Time will tell... The first pic is several weeks after 2nd shed.

that looks it...........they look Jolliff snow.......

..........you tellin me they will turn like the top photo?...wow......

the axanthic looking one turned good looking normal het colored.....bight ..her mother was the best het I ever made.......

..........the hets are orange too I think like in the pic.....

.........what are they worth?......same as an albino?.......or a little more ?...

are they better off keeping?>......(what is a blusher worth in color for the future?.if you know...).

Thanxx alot..........JY

They aren't quite as bold as the picture suggests, that camera tends to saturate the colors. The axanthic-looking ones do tend to stay clean and nice-looking when they color up. I personally don't think they're worth any more than any other albino although the asking prices I've seen suggest some sellers hope so. I think you have to wait well over a year for the yellow blushing to show up if it's going to... Mine just look like nice bright yellow albinos after 1 year. I'm keeping my females because that's what I've got. They are the result of father to daughter possible het pairings. I sold off the het moms that produced them... Too many hets and I prefer pieds. I have no plans to breed these to "yellow blush line" males. I'd hate to market the offspring as such only to have the buyer raise up an animal for a few years and have it turn out to look like any other albino. Is it worthwhile to hold some back and raise them for a few years? I ended up with all females so that's what I'm doing, yellow blush or not. Have fun...
