That is a beauty John, but I wouldn't even call mine true Blue. But hopefully I'll be lucky enough to produce one like this...

One Tad Fitzgerald produced from this line.

OR maybe this one...the mom to my three.

Even Mike Russo told me he's never seen a real Blue Alterna in person. I haven't either, I hope someday I can? Mine do have a blue-ish hue that I haven't seen in any other Alterna yet, so I am hopeful. Tad didn't have any luck getting any more to come out blue, and I think he sold all his kings for Ball pythons?

Yea.....I think you are the only one that I know of that actually sees a blue alterna mutation as a possibility.........and many old school alterna guys would say there is no such thing, but the light gray with the tiny, darker speckling certainly makes a bluish hue.....very similar to a yellow leonis with the same speckling giving a greenish hue........

I have yet to see some that show even as much as these I have now. I know what you are saying, but I believe, lol.

I know I will be keeping every baby that comes out for at least the first couple clutches, till I can be sure. They may change a bit as they mature.

Jorge camera setting effect colors like blues and yellows.

Look at the shaving in Jassiters pic and compare them to the two pics you posted.

most herpers don't play much with camera settings. Some think their cameras take better pics than other while it is actually they are not aware of what setting their camera is on.

I realize that Rainer. But I have to believe Tad on this one. I see a blue hue in the 3 I have that I haven't seen in any other. I know certain light effects the pics. Here's one I took outside that surprised the hell out of me, but it isn't touched up in any way. However I know that snake is not that blue in reality.

Wow...I see blue. And what do you mean you'll be keeping all babies 1st generations??? I will need a female to grow up and introduce to my guy! lol Hope you do get blues...Dave.

That male is sooo similar to the other male I have that came with the female. I have to hold on to all the babies till they mature enough that I can hold back the bluest ones. I think you said it was an Adam Sweatman's Red Bluff didn't you? That's what these are descendants from. I will definately let you know when I let some go.

Shannon Brown hwy 277...I used some of my profit from selling my generics to get my first locality animal. Just really liked him. Tried to get a female from Shannon last year, but alas, he didnt produce any...Dave. Will be waiting for yours!

Jorge,
I am not doubting yours are blue. I was just saying that different cameras people use sometimes have different setting which they may not be aware of. Or they have experimented with the settings (like for blue water oceans scenes ect) to see which come enhance certain coloors like white/green/Blue. Yellows etc

These are not my animals. But taken off the internet. You can just see the green and blues.
