I walked into the snake den tonight and saw the lavender basking in the heat.

She sure looks gravid, but only time will tell.

I hope everyone is having a great season.

Goodness Gracious that snake is beautiful. I wish more sunglows looked like her. Thanks for sharing.

Chaz:

I'm doing my best to produce some more just like her.

Thanks for the compliment.

Man Brian, let me be honest with you. A lot of guys post the same snakes over an over again, which is o.k, but I never mind seeing that sunglow! My dad has a lavender albino female, I guess I can kinda see the similarities between your sunglow and his albino, God willing hopefully we will produce some sunglows like that one from the albino. Do you know the lineage on her? Good luck this breeding season, Trey

Trey:

I totally know what you're saying about people posting photos of the same snake over and over again. The thing is that I'm constantly being asked about her so it seems logical to post photos of her periodically.

I wish your Dad all the luck in the world with his lavender albino project.

Always enjoy seeing her. Keep us posted this season.

Ash:

She was bred to a double het for sunglow. My intent is to proove out her genetics as a lavender sunglow then go from there.

I hope your season is going well.

0.1 Wife (WC and still very fiesty)
0.2 kids (CBB, a big part of our selective breeding program)

LOL, to many snakes to list, last count:
24.36 BRB
19.19 BCI
And those are only the breeders

lots.lots.lots feeder mice and rats

Such a striking animal I wonder if males have blue saddles? lol

Thanks for sharing Greg

She is looking great! Im wondering if the best way to reproduce this lavender phase if it is not just a fluke....would be to breed her to a normal and then breed back those hets......Im just thinking that if you breed her to a het for albino then your mixing the albino gene from the het which probably is not going to lend itself to lavender albinos the way this unique snake is......just a thought......maybe Im wrong.....Im very interested obviously due to the lavender/pink girl that I have. Good luck and keep in touch......

I've had discussions along this line many times. IMO it't NOT very likely that there is a "lavender" albino gene that resides in the same locus as the "regular" albino gene. It is possible, just not likely.

What many people seem to miss is that even if you were to add up every known genetic morph gene/locus, the total would be a tiny fraction of the total number of genes/loci.

I would think it much more plausible that the lavender is caused by other gene(s) at different locus(loci). The important part is to keep track of the breeding results and work out if you can isolate it to a single gene/locus. Could be either recessive (most likely IMO) or dominant. It could also be a combination of genes making it even harder to reproduce.

you post that Lavender from CV Exotics, a T-Pos and a Lipstick Line Sunglow awhile back? If so what is the chance for an updated pic on that Sunglow? sorry if that wasn't you but I'm pretty sure it was you but at least a couple months back when we were talking about Lavenders. take care and thanks for sharing
Bob

LOL.....yep, that was me... ya I need to get some new pics, just need to take them....I will soon.....although they dont look much different right now......

much then it should be very red and nothing short of spectacular cuz I have been thinking about that Lipstick Sunglow as I have two het females (ones a hypo doublehet) and can only hope to make some of those
Bob

Paul:

That is a very interesting thought. I'll have to consider that for next year.

Your lavender albino is beautiful.

Good luck with all of your projects.
