Re: baby lust

I have caught numerous vagrans over the last...well, most of my live!!! I have never seen red on any vagrans. I do have an orange vagrans, but it covers the entire snake.

Re: baby lust

well
she's an eastern and my identity crisis is over
but I certainly don't have a mate for her
(or for her intended boyfriend)
oh and she's Het melanistic from a melanistic bred to a double het snow-66% possible het snow/albino
if that isn't a mouthful
so if I got her a melanistic boyfriend, they could have some melanistic babies, right?
someday before her dotage
well it solves my current dilemma quite neatly
there's no good reason to have her brumate

Re: baby lust

if the male melanistic's gene line is the same as hers, you will definitely get some melanistics. Is she originally from Scott Felzer?? if so, you can get a melanistic from him and have melanistic babies.

Re: baby lust

Also I´ve never heard about different melanistic genes in sirtalis although there are bigger numbers of pure black specimens in some populations.
