I've always thought these guys were under appreciated in the hobby. Here are some old pics I had on file:

I think these are possibly the best Tx rat morph, fantastic looking animals.

Mark Banczak Nov 25, 2004 09:09 PM

but I love the shots with the kids more. He obviously likes your animals. Nice picture.

Mark,
That looks more like a "tangerine hypo" instead of an orange phase, IMHO.

I've never been good at drawing distinctions between similar morphs. It looks good, though.

Dwight Good Nov 26, 2004 09:37 AM

maybe Mass Chaos can let us know what morph it is.

That snake looks familiar... did you get her from Terry Walter in Houston? If so here is an older picture of her when she was in my care:

TravisG Nov 26, 2004 06:39 PM

havent you heard? Tx rats are mean and nasty Obviously kidding. Nice snakes.

First of all, thanks for all the replies. I was expecting 3 or 4 max. Also sorry it took so long to reply. But yes the lavenders are definatly under appreciated. I remember when I first saw them, at Terry's stand (all are from Terry W.) I thought that they would be at least $200 a peice; at least that is what I expected. But boy was I happy with the real price. As far as the orange animal goes, I got her and a male as motleys, but regardless of what they are, I think they are just a beautiful orange color. The kid (connor)is definatly a futur herper, he just gets scared that they might bit. Which i suppose is a little good cause I dont want him Just picking anything up off the ground.

Posted is a pic of the male motley

Thanks,
Daniel Jarvis
