Thanks and a couple cool Pics

Wanted to say thanks to any and all that called and/or sent in letters to stop HR 666, oops I meant HR 669!

On a lighter note I wanted to thank Marshall for sending me this high quality little beauty today! He's a Paradox Ivory. Something I just had to have even if the Paradox aspect isn't genetic, he's still cool to look at! Nothing surprises me anymore with Balls so I'll give him a shot!

I think that was his point!

It's actually not a Pied, it's an Ivory, sorta the reverse of a Pied however , but a different gene alltogether.

I love him as well Anthony. And like the paradox Super Pastel Ivory that SK hatched last season, it is a FANTASTIC snake and quite the conversation piece -- genetic or not!!! Nice acquisition.

Bill ,the background on him is kinda interesting . His dad is a Sk Line Yb and his mom is a BHB Line Yb. He also has a sibling Ivory that Marshall says is alot like a Graphite Ivory in looks. I looked at pics of parents of the clutch and the mom is a very odd looking Yb , not in a pretty way either but more in a subtle way. I have a female Ivory here that I was told originated at BHB's place and she also has "grey specks" all the way down her back like a weak version of a Graphite Ivory (looks like somebody put smudges on her back with a pencil) so I think I'll be breeding that weird female Ivory to this Paradox someday just to see if I can flush anything out. Will be fun to just mess with him if nothing else. Making some Yb females from him won't be a bad idea either.

Thanks for the nice comments. BTW, yes 666 is the mark of the beast. I just found it REALLY strange that they used 669 when a 9 is just an upside down 6 , it was a little disturbing to me, but then again I think way to much some days!

Is he from Marshall Van Thorre??? If so, then I have his sister. And if my memory serves me, he's a little nippy.

anthony james mc Apr 24, 2009 09:47 PM

Yes and Yes! He bit me twice within a 5 minute period when I was double checking his sex, they weren't hard enough to break skin but he let me know for sure that he didn't appreciate me checking out his goods, lol..

Nice looking sibling you have there, good luck with that one!

YEP!!!! I remember when he opened his tub, he came FLYING out at me and almost tagged me in the face. The sister I took was the only one who WOULDN'T strike!!! He is a beauty. I hope it does prove genetic and I get one from her!

Awesome, it's gorgeous!
