Lavender Burm

rottenweiler9 Apr 04, 2008 12:12 PM

So, I came across one of these in the adds. What do the adults look like. The babies look pretty cool. I figure in about 10 year the price will have dropped from 20K to somthing reasnable.

Thank you

I'm not up to date on all the morphs but I've never seen an adult lavender burmese python. Seems like I remember someone giving that name to some recent hatchlings but I think the jury hasn't reached a verdict on 'em yet.

I could be wrong. I thought I was wrong once, but I was wrong. Haha!

Later!

I don't understand how you can get a new morph out of one that has been established as long as the albino has.

MIKE ONCE I THOUGHT I WAS WRONG BUT I WAS MISTAKEN..LOL...TC

record straight I'll tell you how they came to be. Several years ago Dale Sargent called me from N.W. Fl. and asked me to take a look at some odd Burmese he had and wanted to get rid of. He had several RARE never before seen morphs including an adult pair of T-Positive or Carmel Albinos. I obtained the snakes and Gulf Coast Reptiles received them. The male was bred to several T-Negative Albinos and double het babies were produced. I sold my share to Bob Clark and the fate of the rest is unknown to me. The answer is they didn't pop out of existing morphs but were something new and totally different. I suspect this year you will see several breeders offering Lavender or T-Positive albinos for sale. I find it somewhat ironic that I have introduced BOTH T-positive and the T-Negative morphs to the market. Without going into detail there are some possibilities for even more unusual morphs becoming available soon of which I still hold and have bred some possible hets...thanks...TC

Thanks for sharing that info with us, Tom. I can't remember when & where I heard something about lavender burmese pythons. I don't think I've seen any photos, either.

It's exciting to hear about some new morphs on the way with this species. Congrats & thanks for your contributions! One of these days I'm going to publicly drag some answers out of you so more people will know your credits.

Didn't you once have a fairly big Python breeding business many moons ago in east Orlando? By the way, that's not a "yes or no" question.

Take care!
Mike

Mike I used to breed boids, Crotalus, iguanids, varanids, lots of Radiated Tortoises, and 11 species of crocs. I'm a sick reptile junkie and I guess I always will be...TC

Sounds good, I can't wait to see this. They have done several things with tics, and wonder why not with burms.

Tom, he is referring to an add in the classifieds of some add colored t-neg albinos not the T . As far as I know this will be the first year the T will be produced in captivity, it's just a matter of who will hit it first from those het's that were produced. I guess there could be a slight possibility that the animals being offered are visible t- and t but I find it hard to believe that there were no t produced in the clutch if double visuals were produced from double hets. Again those animals being offered are 100% not T unless they are a double visual (yes I've seen the T in person).
