Great pic Dave showing the different motley looks! You have quite the motley collection going on now! I hope to produce some sunglow motleys soon as nice as that beautiful sunglow motley girl. Congrats again on your Moonglow X Motley litter with the crazy genetics. As you know the anery gene is floating around in a lot of animals and I've heard of 1 albino popping up in motley litters even though the motley used was not a het as you saw in Ron Michelotti's Motley Sharp litter. Makes you say hmmmmmm.....

A lot of people have been producing Motleys for a long time now. Many people we have never heard of are more than content to produce as many as possible and sell them in wholesale lots, cashing out immediately. I'm sure many of these Motleys that are wholesaled out are 50%'s or 66%'s but that doesn't matter in wholesale pricing. A visual is only worth what a visual is worth, %'s don't matter. It's not too surprising that some of these Motleys are hidden gene carriers and have made their way in to private collections where they are being bred to other genetic mutations and are hitting.

Thanks for the kind words Shane. The 2 I got from you are still doing great and as you already know, the hypo is still changing color. I just hope my future breeding seasons go as smoothly as the last. I mean all I did was put a male in with a female and made a hot spot and got babies. But I guess that is WAY easier said then done. I gotta say its a fun hobby but is time consuming. I just spent my entire weekend cleaning, feeding, setting up my new cages, taking pics, ect. But now since my snake room is all cleaned up and all my snakes are fed and happy I can finally have a night out to be social before my work week starts tomorrow morning. Then its back to my job, and snake room when I get home. It didnt use to be like this when I only had 6 or 7 snakes. Gotta love it :-/

Thanks Kenny. Glad you like the pics. Il get a few more up next weekend. Mother motley is in shed and want to get a few of her. Hopefully she will be nice to me, unlike our last encounter when I pulled the babies. Mom wanted to eat my head that day
