Picked up an awesome pair....

asnakelovinbabe Oct 20, 2008 09:40 PM

of normal checkered's! When i asked if they were het albino, or even possibly... the guy said "sorry, no" and he was all confused when he realized how glad I was they were not! The female is a showstopper... she is LIME green... the pictures do not capture her color at all! the male is reallllly yellow.

Here is the male.


and here is the female! They are both one year old.


Wookit that yellow striped tummy!

Now lastly... here are the two babies I held back from this year's eastern babies. The both just shed and boy did I do a good job in selecting them!
This is Pumpkin... at birth... this little one looked exactly like her brothers and sisters. Over the first few weeks.. pumpkin started to show hints of oranges on her while the rest did not.... So pumpkin stayed! and ever since... pumpkin has been getting more and more orange every week! Being so young and already becoming so vibrant.. I cannot wait to see how this one colors up! ignore the dirty patch of carpet... LOL



This is the second one... I separated this snake at birth because it was so much lighter and less patterned than the rest... and since this shed... this snake truly is a NEAT little sirtalis!


I also have a trio of hypermelanstic wanderings from Don... they are doing fantastic... eating unscented pinky parts and loving life! The males name is Anubis... have not named the females yet!!

Thanks for looking!

Wow that female is striking! Nice find. FYI, There was a guy who posted some pics of a high yellow checkereds project that he was working on, a while back on this forum, thought you might be interested in contacting him.
