Ladies ang gentlemen my first turbo rat hatched last night! It is as ugly as a snake can get lol. even though it is ugly it still is cute, It hatched at just over a foot long and looks like a huge baby black ratsnake. 6 more are still due to hatch! How do i put pics up? They were an accidnet when i put my male texas in with the gopher to clean his cage... when i went to put him back in they were locked up. then the eggs popped out.

Got 3 regulars... 1 albino.. and 3 eggs still to hatch. Has anybody bred a gohper to a texas? they look really neat! Im calling them boondock snakes!

i thought 'blood donors' was the audience favorite - lol.

i'd love to see them. post some pics when you get a chance.

in order to put pics up do i have to log them on to kingsnake first?

Just use Photobucket or another imagen site like that. Hurry up though I can't wait to see them.

Wait!? How did you get an albino? Isn't this an F1 cross?

the mom was an albino gopher... and my texas is a normal, but he must be het for abino

Wow that interesting, that must mean the albino in gophers and texas rats is compatible. I don't know if you know this but most of the time when you cross and albino of one species to albino of another you get all hets because the albinos aren't compatible. Like if you breed an albino bull snake to an albino corn you'd get all normals. There are a few genes though, like the albinos is cal kings and corns, that are compatible. So the fact you got an albino out of this cross is really interesting.

that is what i thought too. so far i got 1 albino, 5 "regulars" and one egg left to hatch.

I want One!!!!!!!
