never seen a lemon peel but my wife and I caught my blizzard peeling. She wraped hersef around her hide rock and kept doing laps. It was really cool to see. It looked like she was turning herself inside out sorta but really cool.

Yes, a nice high-yellow brooks, I have to work on some more recent pics when I get some more batteries for the camera. This is one of her from a few months ago, she is quite a bit bigger now, as is her nice looking male sibling.

best regards, ~Doug

besides the seller...

What is the story behind those snakes? are they het for anything? are they from a specific line (sulphur line?)

thanx

~Z

This one is 2x het for hypo and Lav. (Flame Hypo x Yellow Lav)

DMong Sep 23, 2008 07:25 PM

They are alleged to be het for absolutely nothing(zero), and are descendents of Bill Shmeidecke's "old-school" W/C brooks bloodlines from southern Miami/Dade County.

That is a sweet looking, very similar looking one you have there too!.....nice indeed!

Thanx.

She stood out as soon as she hatched... a cleaver one, she managed to escape shortly after her 1st shed, but after i recovered her she's been on "lock down"... i hope she goes next season, but when ever she does breed i know she'll produce some really nice offspring.

Very interesting that those aren't het for anything... they remind me of the 1st flames (het hypo) i tried to get my hands on. very nice snakes either way.

comparison to a sibling female:

Here's Hypo i picked up on from Bill's Table (Daytona `06)

Very nice picture! Extreme animal!
Could you post a picture of the whole snake after shedding?
Thanks!

DMong Sep 22, 2008 01:34 PM

Thanks!,.....I don't have a real recent pic of her, but in my post just a few posts above titled.."thanks guys" there is a pic of her from a few months ago.

Her and her male sibling are always getting better with every successive shed!

That's a very nice king. When I first read this post, the first thing I thought was "here's another morph." That would be a funny name.

LOL!!,..yes, I knew that's what many would also assume, and the title would raise some eyebrows in curiosity.
