Keeper W.W., Amazing Blaze and a P.P.

Nokturnel Tom Sep 02, 2009 01:14 PM

Sorry to disappoint.... it's not that kinda PP. This is a Purple Passion Cal King, or so I hear they're now called Lavender Snows. I like Purple Passion myself. This one is a bit opaque. This is the first time I am posting pics as this is hands down the most difficult snake I own to photograph. I've been told babies are out of hand purple...really killer and both adults I have are a very light Lavender. The thing is you can not see the yellows trying to pop out and other cool subdued hues that reveal themselves when the light hits them just right. I am hoping you can see the Lavender tint in the pics... I'd like to continue this project in hopes to make a dark Lavender patternless snake.





Here's my keeper White Wall, freshly shed and lookin good.



Seriously folks.... look how clean the white sides are on these... these just blow my mind maaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnn!


And my best Blaze from the Blaze Phaze Goini X Hypo Brooksi project.... this could actually be a double homozygous Hypo Blaze. Regardless this snake is just amazing to see in person. Just shed this morning.


Holy moly will you look at that?!?!?!




Cool huh?!

Well that White Wall has got to be the nicest kingsnake I have seen in a verrrryyyyyyyy long time. The other morphs are nice but that bright pure white is just breath taking.

Well I already made my commenst on that whitewall below. that thing is unreal.

hey did I tell you i lost the female Whitewall i got from you. It was just dead in its cage. No illness or other problems that were noticible. Just instantanly combusted or something. Was eating like a horse and opened the cage last week and there it laid limp as a noodle.

Anyway , after raising that thing and feeding it lots of mice I lost it and all I have is the het speckled male.

So please sir, consider my request to replace that animal with the one pictured above. HA HA HA HA!

I see some yellow, but I think it's just poop!

Seriously, though, you have some amazing animals Tom. You even make me think about getting into them fancy eastern getula ssp. sometimes with all your posts!
