What phase is this? Any genetics to this? Was produced from a pair of double hets.

It's cool lookin, but never seen a hondo look like that before.

I mainly work in venomous and have been out of the loop per say in lampropeltis for around a decade but that's just what I said, lol. Thanks...Ed

I have a similar one, with a bit less black. I haven't seen very many and don't believe any sort of "marketing phrase" exists for them, though they are high-black. I'm working with high-black anerys as well.

Do you know if that snake is a male or female?

a closer up photo of this snake...like Tim has posted?

Also, a photograph of the pair that produced the snake would also be helpful.

Thanks,

That's not a Honduran,it looks like a "Halloween" Pueblan to me with a slightly thinner temporal band than they normally have.

I t really would be nice to see the parents. But the so-called "double het" thing has me sort of questioning things a bit here, because the Halloween" phase Pueblan's are a line-bred abberant variant, not a recessive genetic trait it can be "het" for.

Actually, it's coloration is more intermediate between a "Halloween" and an "Oreo" aberrant phase being a strong yellow, and not orange or white as the other ones mentioned typically are.

This snake reminds me of the "Nelsoni/Pueblani" animals that are still in the hobby from way back. I think your "double het" may have been from 2 different ssp..

That is a "notahonduran phase.
