This is a male tri-colored hypo honduran I got from my friend in Holland (Jaap Kooij). I'm pretty sure it is a different line then the ones here in the states. It has nice wide white bands and has produced vanishing patterned.

This is the female I got with him and she is just as nice although she is in shed. They also have lighter dark bands besides the nice wide white.

how does one get snakes in the us from holland??

Well all you need to do is find someone who imports or exports. I am working on getting the permit. They came by way of import from Germany. My friend Jaap arranged everything which can be a headack.

I just thought I should mention that Jaap was kind enough to include 2 pairs of these extreme hypos for me in the same shipment he sent to Don.

As soon as I can get some nice photos of them, I'll put them up on my web page at

It is a happy new year.

Well don't get me wrong Don's ARE awesome but if yours look like these there not Extremes, sorry!!

Actaully, Jaap calls them "extreme high white tri color hypos".

Here's one of the adults in Jaap's collection...

Well I don't really care what he calls them over there. Not even close, they don't have extreme hypos over there yet! Where's Dunham at? Extremes are a designated type of hypo honduran with light siver/grey banding, it's almost white on their heads and tails. Besides it has way too much tipping for me, I hope the offspring don't turn out like that. What's he marketing them for about a hundred bucks! Don't let anyone crash this market more than it already has!

I'm not sure I completely understand what you're trying to say, but your post has a bit too much "attitude" for me so I think I'll withdraw from this conversation.

All I know is: Jaap is a wonderful friend, his milks are out-of-this-world and everyone wants them but very very few come up with the funds to actually get them. I gave up an arm&legg in trade last year to get a pair of hets...and glad I did! Mine came in with Don's, maybe he can post a pic of my female? Here's an older pic...

I just hope the "Big Boys" market them correctly and hold the prices high, sounds like they are in very good demand. But I'm sure Mr. Dunham, Mr. Falcon and some others have Hypos just as good and they wouldn't call them extremes.

It's kind of funny how if someone mentions extreme some people go off on a tangent. I have been doing snakes for over 30 years and some people get on here and think they know everything when they have been into snakes only a few years. He never said extreme hypos he just said extreme white hypos. I just know they are some of the nicer tri colored hypos out there. I don't really know if there are any extreme hypos over seas but there may be. I know Peter Rice has a lot of nice animals. Anyways I think that each post should be read carefully before any comments are made.

It's obvious that I need to read some of the posts before I go off on a tangent. Robert did say they were extreme hypos and as per Shannon and Mike Falcon these would not qualify as an extreme hypo but maybe just a nice high white hypo.

I might have room for a pair of these also, IF you still want to deal with me!

Is it Extreme or extreme? I read it as extreme, meaning a high degree of something, in this case very wide white bands not the Extreme hypo ala M. Falcon. I dont know which meaning extreme has hin this case, but they are outstanding and I'd like to have a pair.

Guess this is the problem with naming a morph an adjective or just plain misleading like the anery honduran.

Cheers,
Vinny

Hi Vinny, what is the problem with the anery hondurans? By the way did you see Mike Falcon's extreme ghost honduran HoooWeee what a snake!!

Yeah, that was one fine snake. I'd like to get a pair of Extreme het anery (or poss het) myself, esp. if they are as nice as the one you posted earler.

As for the anery honduran, its not a true anery in the sense that there is some red pigment left. But it is reduced to the point of almost being completly gone and I have seen some that look like they have no pink hue. Thats also why the snows have some pink to them. In the end it probably does not make much of a dif. to call them something else, unless a true anery shows up.

Cheers,
Vinny

Well all I have to say about that is their blood is red maybe this has something to do with it(their very translucent). I tell you my snow changes colors when I feed it, don't laugh it's true! Photos can bring certain trancslucent colors out too(especially with enhancements). And their is a lot of red to take out of a honduran, maybe a little is left on some aneries.

P.S. I didn't mean to jump on Mike H. like that, your website was very informative.
I just watched the news, my condolence goes out to W.Va. miners and families.

Hey Dave great minds must think alike

A few months ago I was thinking the same thing about the blood causing the pinkness and asked a bunch of questions on the board. T. Dunham convinced me it was not the blood and it was some red pigment (if it was blood why would we not see it in the white parts of the skin where there is no pigment to hide it). Also convinced me there is a lot of variation in the ammount of red that is reduced among the anerys so some are pinker than others.

Cheers,
Vinny

Let me guess where your getting to, Dunham just brought in an anery from somewhere?

Was'nt going any where, other than to say that sometimes things are named badly which can lead to confusion. I think D. Doherty (I may have spelled that horribly wrong, spelling has never been my strong suit) produced the first anery, dont know when though.

Best,
Vinny

Hi,

I'd never have guessed that the pics Mike and Don posted (some of them were taken by me last summer), would produce so much rumors and discussions about those tricolors, very nice, but don't forget the copyrights on the pics LOL .

BTW, nice corns you threw in the trade, Mike.

Now those are amazing! everything i'd want in a tricolor hypo! you said they were unrelated to US stock so where did u acquire these tricolors? I know you'll definitely get my $$$ when you bred those.

Thanx for sharing!

Thanks. I won't produce any for a few years but I will get more from my friend. He lives in Holland and I think he said that this tri colored phase is not U.S. stock. Here's one he produced last year.

Man... i don't really care how long i wait, those are Super tricolors! I'm definitely be waiting for you to produce some... i need a pair in my collection 4sure!

Thanx for the info, I didn't even know there were other hypos from bloodlines unrelated to the Love's hypos, that's pretty cool!

O SWEEEEEET!

Don,very nice animal,I really like the light wide bands,should prove out nice in a couple years,Terry M VNV 70-71

If I recall, these are either 2003 or 2004 hatch of the same line. Glad the line finally made it over here.....
Note: I do not have these snakes, they're posted for the Flying Dutchman!
Jeff

Very spectacular Tri-color Hypos Don. Nice clean white and red. They sure know how to grow'em in Holland.
Good Luck with your offspring this year!!
Dave Stevens

and what's even better than Jaap's Hondurans...is Jaap himself. He's a wonderful person and it's truly an honor to call him "friend"

Nice snakes Don...CONGRATS

Stunning tricolor Don!

I looked into bringing a similar tricolor into North America but didn't get any responses. Would love to get on the list which must be growing very long already!

This was the link I stumbled across through Google first, then read that they were Rare-Tricolors bloodline (Thats about all I could make out from the page). Possibly yours are from the same? I see similarities.

www.reptilienzucht.com/hondurensis/hondurenis cb TriColor.html

www.audiodeviance.co.uk/rtc/hondurans.asp

Anyways I could keep talking about how nice your snake is but I'm sure you alreay know all about that... Here is a pic of a nice female I got from Terry this season (Which I would love to match up with your new boy by the looks of him! - dreaming?)

I know one of the parents came from Peter Rice in England. That tri colored hypo you got from Terry is really nice. I am getting a list started for the hypos.

Please don't forget to add me to that list

Hello,

yes, those animals are nice. I do have some het's from 2004.
Here is the link where you can see, how they develop.

Kooij-Hondurans

BTW, Jaap is a nice guy whith some outstanding hondurensis in his rooms. I have seen them alive and those pics do not tell the truth.

Gerrit, I guess I was wrong in saying that Jaaps animals were different blood then the U.S. strain. I guess one of his breeders came from Terry Dunham and the other from Peter Rice. Also the hets you have are really nice and Jaap is a nice man. I've know him for about 4 years.

Hi Don,

whatever their genetics are, they are nice and unique in the US, right? You did a good catch with those.
Here is one of the tangerine pinners Jaap produced this year. It is from same line.

I hope I hatch out some nice vanishings, pinstriped or/and tricolored hypos one day, too.

Greets to Texas and feel free to sign in my guestbook ,

Here's the last tri-colored hypo female that I will post. I got her in '04 from Matt Salyer (Fantacy Reptiles). She is a vanishing tri-colored hypo and it proves that other people do have nice hypos. I'm sure Terry Dunham and Mike Falcon and other big breeders do have nice tri-colored hypos. I did get her as an extreme hypo which she isn't but she is pretty nice.

You can send her to me if you need the room for your new ones, you have to many already!!
