Well like I said in the post below she looks more like a normal snow as she has aged, but still slight yellow tint, and her shed has always been yellowed rather than clear. 1st pic is her with sibling as a new born. 2nd pic taken today with siblings, she is the bigger one on top, her sibling sister below, and sibling male to the right, both siblings are a little bit more pink colored. 3rd photo taken today with her fresh shed from yesterday. Most people with regards to snows of any snake species prefer the more pink, so some would say she is just nothing more than an ugly duckling, (she's a swan to me, though beauty is in the eye) but i am still going to breed her back to either that male sib or her father hopefully this spring and see what the offspring look like anyway, worst thing that can happen is I just make more ugly snows,lol, they are still cool snakes with great dispositions and feeding responses.

Thanks for showing them off Jeff, they are verry nice. I like that big girl in the post above too

Dan

don't be swayed by the masses.... shes BEAUTIFUL!

Thanks Guys and Gals,
As always its all about the animals, they are beautiful, and I am very proud of them, but I'm just the guy that feeds and cleans poop.
Shannon, generally I don't let the masses sway my personal tastes, but it sure makes it easier to get rid of babies, not just about the money, but who doesn't like a little extra money, but more so I don't want to be stuck with a bunch of worthless mut babies that nobody wants either. So if they aren't going to sell it's not really worth breeding, that doesn't mean a snake isn't worth keeping as a personal pet though if a person likes it against the masses oppinion, no what I mean?
Nice thing about plains is they are native, wouldn't it be cool to have a breeding population of snow plains wild in my backyard? lol just kidding
