Does anyone know who is working with different morphs of Everglades rats?

I have whitesideds, and I know of a couple people working with them, but I also know there are hypos, blotchless, and albinos- anyone know of any more morphs than these? Have any background info on them?

I've seen pictures of hypos, but I've never even seen pics or anything of the other morphs.

I'd love to find some more info!

Thanks,
Ronnie Nocera

Ronnie - how are you man??

I have an adult pair of hypos from Andy Barr's line. I was told that these are a different line of hypos than the Love's.

I was told - and mine reinforce it, that these stay smaller and have a richer orange color to them. The very faint stripes that come in at about two years is very much like the black on hypo Hondurans - very graphite looking.
My adult proven pair are both under four feet and feed very well all year long. I have yearlings that are huge in comparison to what these looked like as yearlings....

Even as hatchlings they look more like very light colored normals than hypos.

Hope that helps.

Very nice glades, I wish I could get a decent pic of that Lavender Texas I got from you. He is KILLER looking and eats like a champ!!! Eats dead right off paper!! He was a little pissant when I first got him from you (as you disclosed to me).

Still had a tude on him LOL.

His colors are off the chart, only seen one other person with one of them on this forum.

I will be breeding him to a VERY NICE lucy Texas Rat female in the future to get double het's.

Thanks,

I opened my mouth and out flowed a melody black.

Hey, not doing too bad. Been kind of an off year here- I just had a bit of tragedy in the house and fed out some bad frozen, and lost 10 yearlings. Kind of bummed about that one!

Thanks for the pic & info on the hypos. Gorgeous snakes!

I'm about to pick up a pair of hypos Sunday, but I'm not sure which strain they are. I didn't even know there was more than one strain! I guess I'll have to look into that.

thanks,
Ronnie
