Hello all,
This was the only egg that was viable from one of my females. She was a possible hybino bred to a tricolor hypo het albino ph anery. She died while laying and was only able to squeeze 1 egg out. I lucked out with this one. Enjoy!

Man, those are sweet!!.......that's too bad the female died, but she DID leave you a real "SMOKER" of a baby!

tha'ts really interesting because what's really unusual (near as i can tell) about that snake is that it's got alternating red and orange rings. Granted, on the second half of the body the red rings are incomplete, but you can see they're still there. A snake with this charateristic and all the red rings complete would be even more dramatic. I've seen a few hondos with red on their heads/napes and then an orangish ring or two, but never to this extreme and never with the alternating colors. Am I seeing something that's not here, or is this as unusual as it's striking me?

btw, i'm confused: your 2nd post says parents were hypos. Isn't this animal an amel?
