I'm happy to report that we bred the displayed orange suboc to a very light mustard yellow blonde, and six het babies have hatched.

When these babies breed, we will hopefully be producing some of the first selectively bred orange blondes ever, something I've coined "strawberry blondes". My feeling is that the orange blondes will be much more orange than the H-patterned snakes.

When the babies shed, I'll try to get some pictures posted.

Stay tuned!

Congrats, Dusty! That'll be exciting to see in a couple years...So, what's the status on the triple hets? Did the other female come through? I'm hoping so

Thanks, Max.

No, she didn't...but the first axanthic blonde female laid a whopping 13 in August, and all look good so far. They should hatch around Halloween.

Two things could happens since she is also het for albino (and thus, het for snow): I put her with two males; one was an albino...and the other was a Triple Het.

If the albino got her, then we should see normal-looking Triple Het babies and some albinos (that are 100% het for snow blonde, the first ones ever). If the Triple Het got her, then we should see some normal-looking double hets that are also poss. triple hets plus some silvers of both patterns, albinos of both patterns, and maybe even snows of both patterns.

It'll basically look like this, with everything that is not snow having a 66% chance of being het for snow...

3/16, Axanthic Blonde
3/16, Blonde
3/16, Axanthic
3/16, Normal (all "normals" are double and triple hets with a likelihood that 2 out of 3 are triple hets)
1/16, Snow Blonde
1/16, Albino Blonde
1/16, Snow
1/16, Albino

Keep in touch!
