"New" Blue female for my blue 277

a153fish Feb 10, 2012 12:34 AM

So excited to have attained this girl! She came with her male sibling, but I like my blue male better which is also from the same clutch. So hopefully I can work on getting these bluer with selective breedings. Both have been cooled, and they should go this year!

Male

New female

Thanks Joe, I have pics of the parents and they were true blue. Tad Fitzgerald had them then sold them to Mike King, and I guess I called him at the perfect time? If I ever produce any true blue ones, that would be the ultimate for me! These have a bluish hue, but not what I would call true blue.

I'll take all the luck I can get! I don't want nothing going wrong with these guys, lol. These are my favorite pair of snakes in my collection right now. I thought I was gonna have to buy a baby and wait three years for her to mature, and I got the adults! I'm stoked!

Those are very pretty and very similar looking. Will the babies look a lot like mom and dad?

They are siblings from the same clutch. Both parents were true blue! Here are pics of the parents, I borrowed from Tad Fitzgeralds web site. They are no longer on his site, I saved them for my records. I hope he doesn't mind me posting them?
If I produce any like these, I'll be blown away!

Sire to the two I have

Dam to the two I have

Also a female he produced in 1992
