Congratulations Tracy. That is a fantastic litter. Small, but to get a pair of sharp snows really beat the odds.

Silly looking! How can you go wrong with a snow? and then to add in the Sharp gene!??!?! I love the purple that's coming in on that lil guy. Can I have them?!

Guy

BoidaeAddiction Apr 10, 2008 10:15 PM

Wow great odds. I bet you can't keep you eyes off of them. What a fun litter. Congrats guys.

Tracy Barker Apr 10, 2008 10:23 PM

Well when you look at it that way as a 1/3 sure seems a lot easier! Chris-no one can steal your thunder-you have way too much of it!

These look so pretty, and I would love for Kevin and Ron to post some updated pics of your snakes!

Re the snow-the Kahl line is so far ahead, it probably seems a bit funny making too big a deal out of making these Sharp snows, but I do think it makes you realize what amazing progress has been made with the Kahl line-recreating that success
shows you how much one has to do to get to all of these combinations!

OK Chris, you are up!!

chris nicholas Apr 10, 2008 10:39 PM

two, I have one, two is more than one.

One hypo het blood!

I have an Anery Het Sharp Snow female I have been raising very slowly now for a few years and hope I am just as lucky when I try to breed her.
Thanks for posting!

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten,
and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

But I digress...

Great looking kids! Would that be cool if that lavender became more intense as they grew!?

Congrats!!!
