blue phase ????

toddbecker Sep 26, 2005 04:03 PM

I was wondering who is producing regularly true blue phase chondro's. And also what is a far price for a blue chondro. i am looing for one that is all blue, not the green ones with blue piping but one that is mostly if not all blue. Thanks in advance for any replies. Todd

John Holland, Trooper Walsh, Tim Morris are the first names that come to mind. None of these has produced a clutch of 100% high blue animals, only a few of the "super blues" have ever been produced.

To purchase one of these super blue animals you would have to wait until after color change to know for sure what you are getting and a super blue yearling or old is probably going to start in the neighborhood barest minimum of 5K, probably closer to double that. They are very rarely available.

Good luck with your quest!!

i think its safe to say that you most likly wont be getting one anytime soon.that is even if you could afford the several thousand dollar price tag,the all blue ones that you are talking about are very very rare and almost all sales are done privatly to other breeders/serious keepers.its for this very reason you never see them advertised.i think its safe to say that if you do see one advertised on kingsnake lets say,its very unlikly to develop into the type you describe.i have seen some sell for 7 grand,and even these have some green markings.a totally blue one??well its a once in a lifetime snake and the price and availability will reflect this.the people who own these and didnt pay and arm and a leg for them,have them because they got very,very lucky.thats not to say that there are no established blood lines that will give you a better than average shot at owning one,but even with these there is still a huge amount of luck in obtaining one that you described.correct me if im wrong,but i dont think there are any animals that throw these all blue animals all the time.i have a high blue import from canada.i paid quite a bit more than a normal locale animal,but nowhere near what many are asking for high blues i have seen advertised.i think part may be that my snakes parents were not yet proven to throw blue offspring and also part being that my snake then and now ,is not entirely blue.he gained a lot of blue since i bought him and i feel very lucky to own him,but still has at least 30 percent green markings.even the blue part is more of a blue/green and not the bright blue you see in a lot of the designers.i have high hopes though as i have noticed many super high blues take a while to develop and my snake does develop more blue after each shed.

You may want to contact John Holland. You can find him here.

He most likely has the larged blue chondro collection in the world.

The price for these animals are not for the faint of heart or wallet. your looking at 5-20k. As you would suspect most if not all of these sales are done privately
