Is anyone still working with this morph? Does anyone have any pics? The only person who I knew was working with them, no longer is ( KJ).

I used to work with them in early 2000. They are still fairly common on breeders tables at expos for around $30.-$40.

ISIS Reptiles still produces a few every year....I Plan on working with this female, but she is a 2009 hatch so I have a while before she will breed......
Here's some pics of her.

Thanks Doug....
I am contemplating raising her up and breeding her to a normal to produce hets and eventually produce more lavenders since they have been hard to find lately......
But I got her with plans of breeding a white wall male to her and producing some double hets.......Maybe I will make my double hets first then the following years try to produce some more lavs....

Somewhere down the line I have to mix in the Yellow Amel trait in to these Lavenders and White Walls......

In my opinion, that would be especially killer looking in the white-wall morph, but could very well be spectacular in the Lavender too. Can't wait to see, and I'm sure you can't either..LOL!

Very exciting stuff. I hope you do carry through with it. These morphs have been around for a while and nobdoy has done it yet.

This is kinda like the HYBINO in brooks kings. Both the hypo and lavender traits were around for many years before the first hybino came out. It is amazing to me nobody mixed tghese traits and made ghets MUCH earlier.

One thing about the whitewall trait. I is basically the same thing (not saying the same allele) as the whitesided. Just a different name was applied . i wonder if the whitewall trait will flush out the colors like the whitesided florida king (WS hypo, WS lavender), Whitesided Blackratsnake (aka Licorice stick), whitesided Everglades (aka Ghost glades) etc, and will basically turn out white looking snakes where the pattern is lost or will this whitesided (whitewall) trait show more clear distictive lines between the top-stripe in this recessive whitesided trait.

I think the whitewall trait will show more clear distinct line when combined with other recessive traits. just a guess but hopefully we will see some soon.
