Since most of my additions were youngens, I almost forgot big Bertha. Which I also got from Doug M.

Hey Kent I do have some pics, but they are not mine so I don't know if I can post them. They do get very pink with dark borders. They are still a bit expensive, but I've been wanting a pair for a while. I wasn't even sure what they were called. I thought it may have been a result of the strawberry gene, but these popped out of Kathy Loves Naples corns.

Very cool Kent!,....

Yeah, her so-called "special-project" ghosts that originated from an anery corn captured on "Cape Coral" Island just off the coast of Ft. Meyers, Fl.

These are also known as "specter" ghosts too now. It is "thought" the strawberry gene might be involved here, but who knows anything definite yet.

They are certainly some outstanding looking snakes!

You know more about them than I do, lol. I thought it was from a Naples Anery? Your probably correct, as usual, lol.

Yeah well, it is JUST north of Naples anyway, and Naples is the best known City in that immediate area, so I guess it was just left at that as to where the anery originated..LOL!

Now I wish I could remember exactly where I read that too, because right after I read about it, I immediately looked the place up and it was right next to Ft. Meyers where the Love's live. I "think" it was something Kathy posted somewhere herself as I recall(shrug).

If you come across that please send it to me. I saw pics of their hous on Kathy's web site Cornacopia, a while ago. I wish I had 500,00.00 to buy it, lol. It looked very private and a very sweet property. Don't know if they sold it yet?

Yes, they certainly do have quite a nice private spread out there in Alva.

I went to their place with a buddy of mine that was buying a few pairs of corns back in the mid-90's, and was blown away at the size of their snake "brumating" building!..LOL!. It was apparently built just shortly before I went there.

I sure wish I had a huge gymnasium-sized brumation building!..HAHAA!

Yeah, I doubt they have sold the place yet either.

Thanks Doug! Yeah I realized I forgot to include her the minute I hit the post button, lol. I wish we had the option to correct posts, even if it was for the first ten minutes or so. I know other sites allow this.
