T, Nelsoni & Ontogenetic Changes

Dan_W Nov 04, 2009 12:51 PM

I've had several amelanistic Nelsoni over the years, but none have demonstrated the ontogenetic change where the white bands change to bright yellow. They are a pretty ariation, and as I understand it, the change is not predictable...

I am curious if any of the T Nelsons will eentually have a similar change, differentiating themselves from the "normal" T animals.

Shannon Brown woke me up to the beauty of the T Nelsoni with his recent thread with all the high quality photos. I'm going to have to see one in person now -- they are really gorgeous snakes!

Thanks!

Dan

I cant wait to find out...I just got my 1.1 T snakes from Shannon, and additionally have 1.2 possible Het T snakes that were clutchmates of Shannon's T babies.

Lucky you!

I'm sure you will attest that they are far more colorful and stunning than depicted in most photographs...

Thanks, they are very cool and beautiful...just got them this morning! I will be putting them on a fast track to get some size on them for 2011 breeding, and it will be interesting to see if the Possible T-plus Hets pan out for me, Shannon couldnt be sure if these would produce any T-Plus animals.

Exciting stuff!
