remember this clutch I had hatch last week from the quad het line?

????

Well,,, there was one more egg from that clutch that just did not want to hatch until today...

a wee little one...

...it was the one egg that was all dried up and caved in.

It finally hatched out today 2-16-2010

My second lil whitey!........

and the normal siblings for comparison

I love how the normals turn out from the quad-het line because as adults they have some nice color to them. The few that bought some from me know what i am talking about.

here is the ghost sibling again:

and another sibling hypo

Here is my first whitey from 2009. Now I have a sexed pair. WoooHoooo!

and what the heck. A nice Peanut butter x hypo (Peanut butter /hypo) homozygot pic thrown in.

*NOT FROM THIS CLUTCH*

* BUT STILL COOL TO LOOK AT*

Great shots and congrats on the hatches super nice!!

Congratulations to you. Exactly what morph is that?

bluerosy Feb 17, 2010 05:22 PM

"Congratulations to you. Exactly what morph is that?"

I don't know. I am not sure if this is a Jelly or t neg X ghost yet.

I called it a blizzard earlier in the year but then some people said that waqs incorrect and suggested some other names.

casper morph?
Ice?
opal?

I am not sure what to call Whitey yet.

I would like to mminick cornsake morph names but i don't think there is a corn that is axanthic x hypo x jelly or Axanthic x hypo x T negative. So it might take on a new name.

Why yes, they do! Nice snake. Do you think it'll go down the only road it's ever known?

Did anyone even get the glam-rock joke? Bueller...?

Gotta say (just my opinion), I find patterned FLA kings more interesting. Not to say the whiteout* isn't super cool, but it doesn't blow me away like that AMAZING pbHypo. That thing is SWEET!

*I like the suggested whiteout name, as the pattern gets whited out.

Awesome work!

i know what you are saying and i like them all! But the White-out Florida king is more special to me. Unlike other solid white morphs of other colubrid snakes it feels soft to the touch and is super relaxed. Most of the white morphs I know are spastic and have akward hard feel to them. That is why i like this so much.

i don't know how else to explain it.

but yeah, i can't wait to see more new patterned morphs to come out as well.
