I just love this girl.......she has so many odd colors for an albino....nothing like your normal Amels. If anyone hs adult pics I would love to see them.

It looks to have some scalation anomalies about the head as well. I always wondered why hypermelanistic atrox exhibit this?

Yeah, me as well. Interesting....have you only seen it on amels??

I meant only on amels??

I have only seen it on amelanistic atrox. I have seen it appear on the commercial form they call caramel (T /T-?? I forget). I have seen quite a few wild atrox in AZ and NM and never seen scalation problems of the head. I wonder if it stems from not outbreeding enough.

She is super sexy

I would almost say its a paradox albino instead of a hyper amel.I have hyper amel cal kings and basically they are solid white (blizzard).
Why do you call it that? is it really a double homozygous animal ( showing two traits?).
It is a really killer looking animal at any rate.What two adults produced it? they must have been normal looking double hets?

And what exactly is a Ivory? what genetic makeup is it? its not amel but its not a hypo either.

I have really no clue what they really are but out of a litter of 25(I think) came 19 albinos. A few were the "blizzard" a few looked like mine, 1 melanistic and the rest normal albinos or hets. The snakes that made this litter are a friend of mine that I sold him and were a male albino and female het unrelated pair. I have heard them being called bubblegum but really there aren't many out there and not sure what the heck it really is???......It kind of reminds me of a lavender retic, it almost has that purple undertone to it. There was a post on here back in July with other littermates including the "blizzard" type.

Cool, I will have to look at that post.I have never seen a blizzard? and do you know what the genetic makeup is on the Ivory atrox?

I really have no idea on the ivory....they are definitely a neat looking snake. I just took some more pics of my girl and will post them....thanks
