Anyone ever seen a Western like this?

Yasser Jul 19, 2004 04:42 PM

I have been hatching Westerns for well over 10 years but I've never gotten one like this. the one on the top of the pic is a sibling that hatched just hours before. There seems to be at least two others like it still pipping from the egg. The parents are siblings, both from red phase parents.
Please let me know what you think.
Thanks!

That's a weird little one alright. Looks almost anery? Match those to an albino and see what happens... I'm curious to see what it looks like once it's dry. Post some more pics when you get the chance.

I'm thinking anerythristic also.

That snake appears to be opaque. I think I would let it shed before I start giving it a name.

Lots of hogs shed the day they hatch. I agree with Chris I think its opaque. But would be great if it were something new. Ron

Looks like it needs to shed. Post more pics when dry. If it is something, it looks anery. Good luck!
