Blonde Kennerlyi Photo Update.

Here is a current picture of my Blonde kennerlyi. She has lost the majority of her dark pigment and is taking on a cool pink hue. What does everyone think??

She's looking really nice!

It's interesting to me how the body patterns on some of these animals will fade or disappear (like with the Anaconda/Superconda's) but the head pattern is always very defined and strongly colored. It does make me wonder why that is...

Thanks Troy. It is strange, isn't it? Most pattern mutations in other snakes usually affect the head pattern pretty drastically. Hognose just refuse to be typical.

I will be quite surprised if it even ends up being dominant. I'm leaning towards recessive at this point.

Chris,
I have the adults that produced my female Blonde as well as another adult female out of the same line. So I figure between my adult "het" stock and my visual Blonde, I can produce standard Blondes and work on Axanthic Blondes at the same time.

My goals for next season will be 2 clutches of Blondes from het to het breedings and 1 clutch of double het for Axanthic Blonde from my Axanthic male bred to the visual Blonde female.
