Let me guess....from Scott??? I think he has them....but can't wait to see what you get!!!!!!!!!!!! some day I will get some....gotta get mine to breed so I can sell and have money for more!!! :cool:

[jitami]

Nice Wayne! I've seen the one on Scott's page, but that's it. Kinda neat looking little snake :)

[infernalis]

My Flame boys are going to be happy fellas...:D

Their breeding partners are Melanistic and snow!

Hopefully 2010 will be a good year.

I have one adult breeding female Eastern with red traits, the boys will be ready before the girls, so next year I will chill the mama and let the boys stay with her when she comes out of brumation.

[GartersRock]

Nice!!! I have seen albino flames! Cool little snakes!

Scratching my head here... What would you get when you cross flame and melanistic?

[infernalis]

Something like this

[Elliot]

Wow! That's beautiful! Once I'm out of college I think I'll be buying some snakes from you Wayne. :rolleyes:

[GartersRock]

Oh! OMG something like that would be SO cool. =D
Come on 2010!

[crzy_kevo]

[count dewclaw]

Would that Calif. red sided be one of the het for hypomelanistic? I've been looking at those....

[count dewclaw]

Lucky bugger!

[beaniesmommy]

Oh wow that is a beauty... I will be waiting for my flame (s)... Come on baby light my fire! :D

[infernalis]

Thanks Andrea, now I got the Doors stuck in my head!

[beaniesmommy]

Sorry I am a music lover so I like to make music references when I can. :D It is better than having Disney songs stuck in 'ur head like I have most days. (I have a three year old)

[infernalis]

Yesterday and today these following snakes arrived at my front door. Welcome home my little ones.....

[ScimitarX]

Very nice:D

[crzy_kevo]

very nice indeed and nice hybrid
and inferno has a huuuge head :D

[Elliot]

I like your ribbons. ;)

[count dewclaw]

Beautiful!!!

[GartersRock]

All very nice!!!!!! Congrats!!! Whoot!

[jitami]

Sweet! Nice additions Wayne! Can't wait for my babies to get here!

[infernalis]

Inferno looks like it will grow up with an attitude.

The camera missed that excellent turquoise striping, and the blue belly.

Closest thing to a S.F. I'll ever see:D

The snows get creamy white with age, each time she sheds it will be whiter. I was told that Eastern Snows are about the rarest Eastern collected.

[lestat]

All very nice Garters. I nearly bought a Snow Eastern Garter but i didnt have the funds but i might have to contact the seller and see about it.
Could you breed the snow eastern with an ordinary eastern.

[crzy_kevo]

thats cool so what will her magma babies look like red bottom ?

[infernalis]

thats cool so what will her magma babies look like red bottom ?

Not all, but some may be "albino flames"

And yes you can breed a snow with a normal, you may or may not get any snows in resulting litters.

[crzy_kevo]

interesting i will definately have to read up on genetics and what not i just hope next year when i try and breed george (if the males are ready) that her brilliant colors pass on

[Lori P]

Very nice Wayne, all of them!!! Congrats. :-)

[anji1971]

[infernalis]

Thanks so much everyone.

It's euphoric, surreal and I'm still staring at them in disbelief:D

Now I have come to a real crossing point though, it's time to release a few of my WC friends back into the wild.

But to me I just call that my 100 acre viv:D

[Snaky]
