This is my only 2nd clutch snake of the season, turns out a keeper. Gotta love a Firebird head pattern.

Hard to stay quiet.Nice unique animal

Is that?? What do the parents look like and has this been a project your working with ready?

Please don't talk about snake prices when my wife is around!!

This anaconda line? If not, maybe you have something cool to work with. Love the light coloration on the face.

As already mention more details on this little fellow!

Here is [1] a picture of the female parent (highly reduced pattern 1st year breeder); [2] father parent (unproven 50% chance het pink pastel from Justin M); [3] picture of 1st clutch hatching ...

offspring from the only fertile egg in an unexpected 2nd clutch without reintroducing the male

picture of this little girl does no justice

that little lady is super cool!!, and what luck out of a single egg haha awesome!! congrats!!
this guys kinda weird lol gotta love the funky ones

Very cool looking hoggie you have there.

I agree with Kevin, this looks very much like the Anaconda line with the reduced pattern and heavy dorsal spotting. It will be interesting to see what you can produce from selective pairings with this individual.

Good luck!

Thanks Troy ... and to all who have replied. She's certainly like nothing I've seen. When I pulled her out of the peat moss I thought I was hallucinating.

From what I can tell in anacondas, there is usually a reduction in the number of dorsal saddles and the facial pattern seems normal, even in the super form. Mine has a reduction in patterning on the sides and high contrast dorsal saddles like you mentioned, but wouldn't an anaconda have fewer? Also, anybody have any pics of this kind of reduction in facial pattern?

I thought this one from last year (in the 1st pic) with the same father had an interested face pattern, but nothing like hers.

I'm looking forward to growing her up.
