Hypo-E Mex Mex...

Jlassiter Sep 12, 2009 06:10 PM

I, in fact like pink snakes....LOL

Here's a pair of Tom Agosta stock Mex Mex I got from Shannon Brown last year....
Here's the male....showing some nice pink/salmon saddles already.

And the female....she's lightening every shed.

SWEEEEET. Super nice snakes. Sometimes I think the "E" in hypo-E means EXPENSIVE! LOL

John I love these hypo-e Potosi specimens.....hope you pop out some in due time. I'd like to see that bred into the "dark" phase line to get that almost black and pink color -- quite a nice contrast that would be. Keep this project going!

Damn Jerry....You are onto my master plan....LOL
Actually gonna breed it into the Speckled and Granite phases as well as the Black Phase....
My intentions are to produce a Black granite with Pink Speckles....It's gonna take a while, but sounds like a fun project.
Got a Burgundy Granite project in the plans as well....
There's brown phases out there too...Brown and pink sound cool, eh?

Thanks for the compliment Jerry....

Thanks again Diego....
