Patternless Cape Gophersnakes???

jonellopez Dec 24, 2005 04:49 PM

Hey everyone,

i was checking out some old pricelists and saw one of these listed on one of them. I was wondering if there are still some of you working with these guys. They have been uncommon in recent years except for a lone male that was for sale for 350.00 a couple of months ago in the classifieds. I'm pretty sure someone here have been diligently working with them quietly. Have any of you guys seen these animals in some of your local shows? Just a thought. Merry Christmas!!!

I have a male. I tried looking for a female last year and couldn't find one. I got a regular cape female instead and thought somewhere down the line when she grows up I can try to see.

Hi Janel

You name sounds cool! hehe. Anyway, were did you get your animal? Looks like I'm not the only one who is having a hard time looking for them. Good luck with your animal and let us know when you get babies. Thanks and have a Happy New Year.

Hello Jonel,
I don't know if this female is what some consider patternless or not, but she does have a nice different pattern to in my opinion. I would like to find a male patternless someday to mate with her or even a pair. There are some more pics of her on my site if you wanted to see more. I bought her from Ginter a few years back, great snake.

Have a great new year Jonel,

Gregg F.

Hi Gregg

Nice to hear from you. You have a very nice female there but not one that I would consider as the "patternless." Janel's animal and the animal pictured in Tim Gebhard's Cape Gopher caresheet would be what I was refering to. Seems like they're getting pretty rare these days. I had access to them for a while from a friend and regret not picking anything up before he sold his breeders. I would have been nice to outbreed them to the Kane stock animals since most of them were pretty dull and brown looking animals. Btw, what do you have going on in terms of pittuophis this year? I'd love to hear about them. Anyway, thanks for the response and have a Happy New Year.

Hello Jonel,
It is nice posting here again, i've been watching the forums but just don't have much time to post or even sell these days. I've just been busy working and all that fun stuff, lol. I hope to have some more Sonoran morphs, maybe another couple aberrant patterned ghosts and hypos like the ones which hatched out this year. het for albino capes, a few cool possibilities in the S. pine dept, snows, albinos het for snow and patternless, and possibly axanthics het for snow and patternless. Some Great Basin locales, the hypo San Diego strain that came from Europe a few years back, they are huge and I can't wait to see those babies hatching out. Axanthic bulls are also huge and ready to go...I think that might be it for my pituophis this coming year. Oh, forgot about the Christmas Mt. locale sonorans and some really cool possibilities with the quad het sonorans that Jason and I created by breeding a Blizzard to a Rusty, that will be the clutch i'm watching for the most this coming year! Now i think i've mentioned just about all the pits for this next year. Guess i need to work on my 2005 babies page here soon. What all will you have this year in pits and also in the pyro department?

Have a good one,

Gregg
