Charlie,....c'mon man!, you know that it's really the unrecognizable intergrades that I mostly strive to produce!..LOL!

Thanks, Dave!

I'm expecting a clutch of 100% het ghost to hatch fairly soon. The father is a nice Falcon line extreme.

One of my other females reabsorbed her eggs, so that was a bit disappointing, but next year will be much better as far as more breeder animals.

I can't wait to see what those nice apricot "pinner" annulata produce for you in the future!

later, man! ~Doug

That's great, Doug. I've got two more clutches to hatch this year, one is due any day. I've started the pacing back and forth in front of the incubator dance!

Good luck with your other clutches.

Happy Hatching!

Nice looking little tricolors, Doug! I can appreciate the natural look as much (more, even?) than morphs. Handsome little beasts you've got there.

Thanks Cole!,........yes, I also enjoy the natural look of many types of snakes over some of the morphs, variety is the "spice" of life, so they say!..LOL!

Congrats Doug. They look great. It's easy to forget the beauty of deep black bands against the red after looking at hypos for so long. There certainly is beauty in a "normal" hondo.

"The band is just fantastic, that is really what I think. Oh by the way, which ones pink?"

DMong Sep 05, 2008 09:58 PM

Thanks!,..yes, I certainly know what you mean. Pretty soon most people will have almost forgotten what a normal one looks like there will be so darn many hypos out there..LOL!

I remember the days of hardly EVER seeing any tricolored Hondurans,...they were almost all tangerines that were in the hobby, and there were a BUNCH!. Many things like this seem to go around "full-circle". One day a normal could be highly revered and sought after, due to all the morphs.
