My male breeder.
This snake always looks as if he's just going into shed - very subtle, pastel coloration.
He put in some major work on my big girl and she should be un loading her first clutch in about two weeks.

Thanks.

Byron, would thid guy be considered a Mc Gurty Amel Gopher? My Dad got from a guy in Tampa labeled as a purple blotch and to this day we have not been able to find anything to pair him up with that has the same apperance.

Kevin. I think the label on that gopher was correct. Looks like a Dyer hypo or purple blotched to me. I dont see those nearly as often as I once did, and I dont know why.

The McGurty line is said to have been founded by a San Diego X Sonoran gopher integrate. Most all of the T positive animals that I've seen look like integrates...

Maybe Shannon or Jason will jump in here square up the details.

There's lots different albino annectans it seems,especially phenotypically.I've found this from working with them for several years now, sometimes the differences can be very subtle and in others not so subtle.

Here's just a few examples to illustrate the point.

a few more different albino examples, with a head colour comparison pic.

That is a Dyer SD! Well at least I think I think it is.

....I just can't believe either of these forms is not more common. Those colors on the McGurty and Dyer forms are amazing!

Hi Byron

Great lookin snake bro. Those McGurtys are highly variable huh.

Jason

Sweet, Byron. Let me know what you're selling the males for?
