Most of the snakes I post are the yellow babies that I think are pretty cool. Here are some of their siblings that are a little more on the blue side.Hope you enjoy.

Also throwing one of the others in to show some contrast.

"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away"

Below are pictures showing the 2 basic types that make up the litters, and the oddity.
The lighter , more yellow one is yours, and those make up half the litters.
The blueish type makes up the other half of the litters
The one on the right...well... I dont know what happened there.
She has a bunch of orange in the sides of her tail, but nowhere else.The only color in her sides is black medallions on grey background. The medallions have white patches around them. Her saddles are black, and similar in shape to hypos "butterfly" saddles". The lines that normally go upto, and through a boas eyes stop short on her. All around weird thing. I am not saying shes a freak or anything like that, just that she sure doesn't fit in with the rest of the babies, and to me is pretty ugly.

I don't know what order the pic will show up in, but I am sure anyone can see the difference, and know what I am talking about.

There are some different looks. I think that's cool. I think they have great contrast, nice markings and gorgeous tails! You have a litter of little beauties! I am partial to the yellow ones, though.

"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away"

I am not saying that it isn't nice in its own way, but I am shooting for a certain look, and that one is FAR from it. It's actually a nice boa, I just say ugly meaning it just doesnt fit. I hope that makes sense, because the more I type, the less sense I am making to myself.
I guess to sum it up...I am going for ultra light, super clean, nice tailed pastels, with little to no pinks and oranges with increased yellow, and "One of these things is not like the others...One of these things just isn't the same"

I apreciate your compliments, but I am a bit confused and don't know if you are trying to draw me into a pissing match or what with all of the lavender hypo comments or not, but mine are neither lavender nor hypo,nor have I ever claimed them to be. ALthough they are similar in lightness, contrast, and the washed out look of the "lavender hypo", I am not trying to ride the Rio Bravo train.
I have proven these out, taken the steps to do so, and have a few more steps before making any kind of claims, and to the best of my knowledge (based on the first post made by Gus, which I can't seem to find)the lavender hypo was a wc animal that came in last year.
I remember your first response to one of my posts in which you said "It looks like the lavender hypo, no offense"
When I asked you what the "no offense" part meant, you didnt reply.
I was the first to notice the similarities between these and Gus's, and the first to reply to his thread, so yeah...I know.
Maybe I am just reading too much into the posts you are making, thinking that you are hinting at something because I wasn't knocked off of my feet by your "Scarlets". If so, I apologize for my comments. If I am right, go ahead and ask all the questions you want, as I am more than prepared to answer. I can post all the pics you like, as can many of the people I have sold to.

If I am mistaken Matt, please accept my sincere apology.

I am not sure I understand why the proven line would need to be compared to an import as a frame of reference. Don't get me wrong, Gus is THE MAN, but in this situation, shouldn't it be said that the wc looks like mine? I don't care, I am not trying to toot my own horn or anything, but when people post jungles, nobody says "Hey, that looks like the wc one so and so has", it is usually someone trying to compare wc to the proven line.
Gus has made no comparison to my line, and I justcan't understand why Matt is trying so hard to drive his point home.

My original statement, when I had first mentioned that they looked similar, was my frame of reference. Then the other day I mentioned it again when you posted a picture of that male, to see if you had compared the two. On this last post I was trying to find out if they(the babies) were related to that orginal male. Nothing more. I won't mention the lavander thing again. And I'll watch that my positive comments don't offend you in the future. The original statement is the same though.. they look similar.
And by the way...thanks for the Scarlet slam Davey. You must not see the hypocracy in having your own line of Pastels then?

There is a huge difference between the "scarlet slam" Davey said, and his line.. He has produced with the DP line for the past 2 years, even asked opinions 2 years ago regarding them on here and received rude comments regarding them and the always used and popular "its nothing until it is proven" line. He proved out the pastel line, you still have work to do on your "pyre" line.(that is what you are calling them correct?)

The reason your comment received a less then pleasent response was you were asked to clarify your comment on the import "lav hypo" and the DP line.. No response equals less then polite responses upon further questions along that line.

Sorry if I am somewhat incoherant, tired (3 kids all under 4 years of age will drive anyone crazy..lol)

Have a great day.
Later
