amel "alterna"?

DMong Mar 04, 2012 06:57 PM

So who can add any other additional info about these other than what has already been posted back in May of 2009? I already know who allegedly captured it.

Here's the copied and pasted un-edited story directly from the post itself along with the correlating photos:

I collected this male in 2004 on the Juno Rd. north of Comstock, Texas and south of Baker's Crossing. He was about 20" in length. He bred fro the first time in 2008 and produced eight good babies although one dies in the egg before I noticed it was trapped. The other seven are growing and are super nice. Since I both collected this albino and did not have the thousands of dollars needed to do DNA testing on him to be sure some idiot had not released a cross, I bred him to a narrow banded alterna from the same area. Two of the hets are pure alterna. One only has red on the neucal and the other has not a red scale on her. Based on this and finding that a ruthveni X alterna cross will not produce pure alternamorphs, He is the real deal. I have three clutches of hets cooking this season and he may breed another female or two if he picks up some weight by mid June. I'll try to load pics of him and the offspring.

the alleged female that was bred to this amel and her eggs

one of the alleged normal hets that hatched from this breeding

another het clutch sibling as well.....
