Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Some great looking snakes you got there!!

Cheers,

hey rusty- that is an animal i have been calling the "super blonde" that imparticular blonde guy came from this het ppa male
to this wc ltc female i got afew years ago. she was under 100 grams when got her in 06'.

i bred him(het ppa) to two females one of which double clutched.
this look was in all three clutches. i kept this guy(pic is afew months old)along with some nice females and gave the rest to select friends.
im going to breed this pair back together again and switch out the second female for a nice watermellon i have up to size. im hoping for some really stellar blonde green hypo thingys:0
ill post up above pics of this but this animal has a really weird black belly thats unexplainably fadding out into grey.
thank you

thanks bro!

Hey Joseph, Man you have what I'd call a dream hognose collection. There are endless breeding possibilities. I think I'd be up all night trying to pair them in my mind. LOL. While I usually prefer nice colorful patterns on a light, clean background, there's a hoggie on the far left, in the middle, that has beautiful dark color. I have seen some purples that show a lot of color between the patterns, but that one is really superb.

hi wendell,
thank you very much for the cool comment.
ive obviously put my life into my hog collection.
that imparticular animal came out of a clutch of 4(2.2) all 4 looked like this. the female double clutched for me and gave 12 perfect eggs that all hatched and didnt give me a single animal that looked like the first four.i kept 1.1 and gave the girl to a great friend in long island and the other went to another super good friend in louisiana. i was expecting the second clutch to look the same... ive given the animals from the first clutch the nickname "hot tamales" they are from het carmel x normal red breeding.
in the bottom right of the group pic is a cool banded animal that is a sibling from the second clutch.

yep thats the one lol bad @$$ got to get some carmle blood.
