Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Some nice shots of my superior Texas rats....ok ok perhaps I am somewhat biased and a little cocky as well...I'm GREAT...a little proper husbandry goes a long way...there are quite a few talented peeps on this particular forum...so WE rule is an appropriate synopsis of OUR talents...

I also am going to be breeding a bright orange generic rat snake into the mixture...it is for the most part an Everglades Rat snake...that I got by breeding a het bubble gum rat to a Blotchless Everglades Rat snake and then line bred for two generations to accentuate the orange...

I know I have posted this already...it is owned by a friend of mine...he'll let me borrow it for a few kickbacks... LOL

I will however keep a line that are pure Texas rat snakes both Leucistic and Lavender...but I have a thing for bright orange rat snakes...hehe

First is what is termed Leucism ( leucistic ) (see link below):

Second is called "Lavender"...it's albinistic genetically speaking...The morph is being bred by a few people...I believe Mark or Mike Bell is where this snake originally came from. Eyes are red...but it's not the albinism you typically see in black rat snakes...it is a different albinistic trait...also simple recessive in nature :

Leucism
