Greenish Rat Snake Morph Progression

Godfrey Jul 06, 2010 06:50 PM

This is the first decent photo I have captured after these have shed. It sure is hard to get them to sit still! This is one of the lighter colored ones. I'll post more as soon as I can get them.

Incredible little one!

Is that one with the deep ruby-red eyes?, or the black?

Those are just plain SHWEEET!

The first one here is the lighter variety, and their eyes have a pinkish tint. Nowhere near the red we see in typical albinos. There are two so far that are like this one. Very unusual colors and high contrast. The ground color is bone white. Eyes are black as far as I can tell.

Yes, that is pretty much what I figured too about the eye color. Not real apparent until closer inspection, and nowhere near a bright red eye as in true T-neg. amels.

I had a leucistic Texas Rat a while back that had such deep red eyes, they almost looked black, not like "pink-eyed" leucies(which are double homozygous T-neg. amel x leucism), but something weird in between..LOL!

I think those little gems you have there are some of the coolest obsoleta morphs to hit the hobby to be quite honest.

Can't wait to see what the two different looks mature into!. Great pic too!
