You sound a bit disappointed about Ziggy. I'd be happy to take that ugly thing off your hands so you don't have to look at him any more. 
-----
Aubrey Ross
Not dissapointed, just wish he had more of his sisters color. Just wait till I put the two together, more stripers and some with mom's color. Will be looking for a male striper with moms color (and a similar female or two to expand that breeding group)

I would love to do a comparison of Ziggy, Zoe and their old half brother, Zeek (ALL MINE!!!) together. (hint hint nod nod wink wink nudge nudge DAVE!)
Pictures of Zoe, Ziggy when they were babies, Dave took them away before I could get better pictures, and Zeek at the bottom.

Say it ain't so!!!
Now if I can just convince Jeff to produce a nice
little Argentinian x Brazilian for me... LOL.
Speaking of intergrades, I was walking my dog
the other day, and I ran into my neighbor's 13 year old
kid who was walking his Labradoodle. (This is the same
kid who chastised me several months ago for calling his dog a "mutt". He yelled, "It's not a mutt, it's a hybrid!!"
Anyway, so we started talking again, and this time he made sure
I knew his dog was an F1, and if it had babies, the babies would be the F2 generation. I just nodded my head and held
back the laughter.
Moral of the story - produce intergrades and call them a hip name like "Argezilians".

That's not at all the same. Canis familiaris x Canis familiaris is still Canis familairis... Regardless if it's even a Yorkie and a Great Dane... OUCH!
Crossing Sub-species is something entirely different and the discussion of this has proven to be a MOST SLIPPERY SLOPE on just about ANY forums I have been on.
I am personally very strongly against it, but that's all I will say about it.

Depending what kind of poodle this is easily attainable with no OUCH!!!! Standard poodles are very tall prolly about the same as a black female lab or 2 inches different (poodle being taller) but very easily done with the lab being female though, mini poodle OUCH!!! and toy poodle just ain't happening so no OUCH!!!! but aggravation YES!!!!!

Bob, you are one sick puppy.

Paul,
Yeah, I've seen some nasty discussions about this subject, hopefully this forum will be different. I have no problem politely discussing the issue, and I like to hear others' opinions. If you care to, please elaborate on why you feel so strongly.
Anyway, I don't agree these two things are "entirely dfferent". Genetic mutation is one of the devices used to create subspecies in the first place. We just "artificially" propogate mutations in our pets for our own enjoyment and/or profit. Nature does it, err, "naturally." Somehow,
it makes little sense to me that taxonomists consider a Chihuahua and a St. Bernard to NOT be separate subspecies,
yet Brazilian and Peruvian RB's to be different sub-species. Now one can base subspecies on geography, I suppose, but that leads down the slippery slope of where does one draw the geographic boundaries. For example, should every valley in the US Southwest have it's own sub-species of Rosy Boa? Where does one draw the line? And even using geography, there also has to be some sort of physical difference, and again, where does one
draw the line? Taxonomy, and especially definitions of subspecies, is far from being exact science, and it can change at any time.
Given the above, I don't quite understand why many seem to think it's desireable to try to propogate mutations, many of which a) create offspring that are dramatically different from "normal", b) would cause the animal to quickly die in the wild and c) carry along with them other health problems;
yet at the same time find it taboo to mate two animals (which are labeled somewhat arbitrarily using the nebulous definition of "subspecies" ) that can and do mate in the wild.
Just my $.02. Personally, I like any/all snakes, and as long as anyone selling the snake fully discloses it's known heritage, it's no skin off my back.
Thanks,
Ed

thought I read two weeks ago that he has 8 pairs of hets but I could be mistaken (don't know how to use the search function
) but know he has a smoker from Celia though and yes with hypos around the corner and figuring out Santaremo genes are gonna get him hooked for sure

I can see why you keep her around, even if she is a picky eater.

about that guy if Savannah is red and Indigo is red but not as red and Porky is yelowish orange and Flax is very light yellow lighter than Porkey then that equals=keepers wish you the best on that pairing
Bob
Yeah, Indigo is a darker red, not bright bright red like Savannah. He'll be paired up with Vermillion, and she is a nice High Orange. Now Flax... his babies I'm really looking forward to. Flax x Sable = Hotties??

That guy is awesome so who do plan on putting with him???

I'm holding back 1.3 of my 2007's they are all different and all looking good!!!
Female BE-FR-04, very busy pattern and WOW bright orange color
BE-FR-04 with WI-FR-07 for comparison
WI-FR-07, female, nice light orange coloring, wondering how this one'll turn out
WI-FR-04 with BU-TO-01 for comparison
Lil BU-TO-01 is coming along nicely. She was the smallest of the twins and the FIRST snake my wife ever told me to keep. I'm taking care of her but she belongs to my wife. so, 100plus for me, one for her. I'm working on her....Muuuhahahahah
The twin is eating fine and growing like a weed, won't be long before she more or less catches up with her non twin friends.
BU-TO-01 and SA-NA 14 for comparison
SA-NA-14, my only male holdback is a really red individual with lighter areas in the middle of his side medalions like his half sister Amber. His overall color shows darker than actual in these pics but you get the idea...
