Ultramel Stripe..

TandJ Sep 07, 2008 10:21 AM

A friend of mine produced GD stripes last and this year. For some reason I tend to be fortunante enough to get some of the off shoots from some of the breedings.. This was one of them..

Did I offend people or something.. ???? *lol* I figured posting something this nice might have got me at least one response..

Heck I am a pretty decent fellow, that remains fairly low key that produces some really nice stuff.. *shrugs*

Tim, That is a cool looking snake. What is GD? I like how the stripes are so bold, kinda reminds me of the pics a few weeks back of the Tessera stripe cornsnakes.

The stripes on my male ghost are not nearly as visible.

Of course it doesn't help that that pic is crummy. I really need to try to get some better pictures of him.

Looks like you have a nice ghost stripe in the picture... I used to use a point and shoot camera, but found I could not do very well with them.. I ended up getting a DSLR, only thought it was fair to show the true nature of the beast...

Hey Tim,
I kind of touched on these pics in the post above but in this case the snake and photography both deserve comments.
EXCELLENT...SUPERB!
And yes you do produce some exceptional animals!
These photos and the ones above definitely give me some ideas for "Mr. Ultramel" hanging out in my collection.

There are two things about ultramels that bum me Jimmy.. One they have a bad rap for being hybrids, and the second is that they are co dom... What I like about them, is that they are definantly fun to work with and toss in a few extra twists of hyponess to projects.. I appreciate the kind comments....

I use a Nikon Coolpix S200. I did take some pics the same day that were in better focus. Also the pics I took of my hypo were more true to color, but still a little out of focus.

But thats nothing against you... its me... ugh dont you hate that!?!? "its not you, its me" but its the truth... its ok looking i guess

I realize I am probably just an outsider here that most people have no idea about who T and J is etc.. Just sort of suprised that I get very few comments here.. Just was wondering if I was stepping on toes or something..

Naw, its cool if you don't like ultramels, its one of those each to their own, and different strokes for different folks things.. Of course how do we test breed to prove or disprove the hybrid theory..

STEVES_KIKI Sep 12, 2008 12:48 AM

i'm just weary about the "new morphs" where no one knows the backgrounds... like cinder... and a few that popped up recently.... i dont dislike ultra as much as scaleless though... i just think a few more years and it might grow on me, you know??

WOW!!! I'm really pretty speechless. That snake is a real screamer!!

falconsnakefarms Sep 13, 2008 06:00 PM

It's a nice snake but doesn't really look that much different from a amel stripe....

TandJ Sep 19, 2008 08:33 PM

Oh it will change considerably over the next year.. Looks much like am amel stripe at this point, but it will certainly dramatically change much like its gold dust stripe sibblings will and have done...
