I've had a few requests for pics, so here's one. It still surprises me that people still aren't aware these exist. Oh well. Just hoping for a couple of ghosts this year.

Very nice Brandon. I have a question for you though. I was at the Hamburg Reptile show and could have picked up an axanthic Brooksi, I already have a Hypo. What would those combos make?

Axanthic X Hypo will produce double hets for "Ghost"

If you cross an axanthic with a hypo, you will get a wild type animal that is het for both patterns, a.k.a. "double het". Statistically, 1 of 16 hatchlings from the double hets will be a ghost, 3 will be hypo, 3 axanthic and 9 normals, all with various heterozygous traits.

I think they're fantabulous snakes. I have a yearling female florida snow from Gulf Coast and she's a doll.

I have just seen my first one, a beautiful hatchling that came out today. Perfect banding. I'll get pics soon, but here are a couple of siblings.

Congrats Matt. I can't wait to see these little guys popping out in a few weeks. I have one clutch of snow x snow and one clutch of axanthic x snow. What bloodlines did you use in the breedings? Is that an axanthic in your pic?

That is an axanthic in the pic. This Snow was created from double het. breeders produced by Steve Osborne. Next year, I have breeeders ready from the New England Anery. and Ricks albino lines. Picture soon, I promise.

Cool. You answered my second question about the bloodline. It could be my monitor, but it looks black and white in the pic. No offense, but I've never been real fond of the axanthics that Steve produced. He and Tim have definately refined the lavenders, but the axanthics just don't cut it IMHO. Congrats on the snow. It looks sharp!
