>>I kind of think this thread was a little blown out of perportion. Several of my friends suggested I post this picture to see if someone could pick out the "subtle" differences that are quite apparent in real life. I wasn't trying to "play it up" as quite a few I believe thought. I had talked with Jeff who produced this snake and was waiting for him to get on here to explain the exact details of the breedings to prove out whatever genes were in this snake. A couple did say they noticed a "lightening" or "fading" of the colors so I have to say the efforts weren't in total vain. The one proven additional gene is Dilute. The one the breeder believes is visual but not proven as of yet is Anery A. I was hoping he could get the chance to get on here to explain his breedings and the parents to produce this animal before I had to tell you all. I do know without a doubt that it is at the very least het for amel and anery a. That can't be seen but the Dilute was what I was hoping someone could guess. I didn't mean to get such a fuss started. Like I said I posted the "guess what?" thread from a suggestion from some friends. I will get some photographer friends of mine to get some better pictures I can post sometime soon to show. I will also post some pictures when this thing ages to see how different it turns out to a normal bloodred motley. Thank you all for your replies and your patience.



I don't see the anery...too much normal color...but...lets say it is....that would be an anery/blood (granite), motley is obvious, so a granite motley
add difuse... a difuse granite motley....
now that's much more interesting then "guess what"
it wasn't really a fuss... but .....why guess? blurry photo..you see blue...I don't... too many possibilities
the lightening or fading looks pretty typical of a lot of motleys, that's why I posted the pic of the normal motley.
too me it still looks like a motley blood but if it is a difuse anery blood motley that just makes for a hell of a lot better post.
so, now we need some background and better pics if possible
