Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I hatched a couple of snows last season and I kept this female snow. She was born as a large hatchling and has been pounding prey twice a week. She's really growing fast...so I thought I should take pics more often before she becomes an adult.

First pic was taken when she hatched last August and the second picture was taken just this sunday afternoon as a 6-month old juvenile. I have never reared up a snow honduran before and the color transition is just super fun to watch. The yellow bands are starting to come out and I hope that the yellow bands will be even more pronounced as it matures against its white-pink body.

I know that most people are excited about the extreme lines of hypos and ghost ( I am too as I have "extreme" projects line up this year) but I think every serious lover of hondurans should at least have one snow honduran, or two.

Thanks for looking.

Hey!,....good to hear from you Ray, it's been a while since you posted.

I can honestly tell you that I like the snows with strong yellows the best. To me, they are much more appealing than the ones that are washed-out and have no color. Yours is really starting to color up well with the yellow at only six months old. Can't wait to see what she looks like as an adult!

take care buddy!, ~Doug

We take an adult with us to shows, so that people can see what they will look like. A nice Snow is awesome, but most people do not get a chance to see them. The pics just do not give an accurate representation.

Thanks!

Joe, I agree, that's a great idea to bring an older one with you to let people see a good colorful example of a nice snow. Otherwise, many wouldn't understand how beautiful some can really be as they age.

Thanks Doug. I suspect that the yellow bands will be more pronounced since her mother is a striking tricolor albino het anery (pictured below).

It's good to be back reading some threads. It's been awhile and it felt like I,myself, underwent some personal brumation of my own and slowly heating up...LOL.

Full swing now with the feeding of adults. Can't wait what pictures you guys will be posting this year.

later man...

hey buddy, I throw the bait and you just can't resist to say something huh? That's pretty funny.

Anyway, thanks for your compliments on my snow and albino. You got some great collection yourself. As I mentioned before, we should be seeing great new stuff this year in this forum.
