Granite? Erythirstic Eastern

[Jeff B]

I hadn't paid much attention to this female this summer because I didn't think she had much red for a Erythristic so I had kinda written her off as a dud, but today I was feeding and I took her out held her up by the window and I was amazed at what a beautiful swan she had grown up to be, and man she has a wiked reduced granite pattern, so now I am super excited about breeding her this spring. She will be 2 yrs old this spring and has really put on some size this summer. I'm now thinking she has tremendous designer combo potiential!!!

Is there any schuett albino in there?That would explain the pattern.

Scott sent me one just like that two years ago. It looked IDENTICAL!!! It was WC from florida... no blue, just brown! I kind of see the granite-like pattern but I've seen it so many times that I never really looked at it that way before. My female ery het schuett has that pattern as well. I actually find it to be less appealing than the deep heavy checkers of some easterns (then again I also think that snows are ugly....no offense :) )

She is Surf City locale

patterns on sirtalis sirtalis are highly variable and this proves that, patterns on the red morph easterns(or related) tend to be more "broken up" from what i have seen, good luck with her deputy

VEry nice looking snake..

[Jeff B]

Looks like the almight, all knowing, "Wizard of Oz has spoken". Thank you, thank, thank you soooo much Joe, now I actually really, "really" know exactly whats going on, all thanks to you Joe, I guess I may as well just put her in the freezer now that I know that she is just another highly variable pattern and that "tends" to be the case with erys so nothing to be excited about.....or should I just send her to you? lol:D:p;)

Seriously, there is no doubt a lot of variablility pattern exists in easterns, but I still think she is on the extreme end of that, and of course weather that will be in some way inheritable, so that I can exploit that trait with other morphs (like the silver for example), is definately "to be seen and proven", but I still think its worth trying.

I can almost see you guys with you wide brim hats and your cowboy boots on:

"this town ain't big enough for the two of us"


hahaha

[BUSHSNAKE]

yes Jeff the sirtalis complex group is where my expertise is at, just in case you didnt know, like i said good luck with her

[Jeff B]

lol, you guys take yourselves way to seriously, lighten up, it's just garter snake breeding, not rocket science or national security. I'm going to breed her and we will see what we get, may be something pretty, might be something ugly, or may even end up just being average, pretty simple stuff. If it makes something pretty then we can try to figure out the how and why and characterize the inheritance.

[Jeff B]

I'll hold you to that nominal:D
Are we talking your nominal or mine. I have a feeling my nominal is a lot less than yours.

I think it's just a metaphor.
I hope and pray it's just a metaphor. Please let it be a metaphor:D

[kibakiba]

I hope it is. But when I came on after 2 days of being sick again... It was kind of freaky to read that and my mind was still a bit on the weird side from my sleeping meds and... Yes, I was very very disturbed... Haha. So disturbed that after I posted that I closed fire fox and went in my room to hide for a little while :D

[BUSHSNAKE]

i was being sarcastic...

I second that. So many images flashed through my head.

***Was that absolutely necessary? -Stefan***

I think I feel nauseous. :p

[guidofatherof5]

I'm sure your words would have sufficed. The image wasn't necessary.
This forum does have its young members;)
Not trying to be a prude but some of the young ones are mine.

[ConcinusMan]

ooops. I did try to keep it somewhat tame. maybe it was bad judgement to do it at all. Sorry.

[BUSHSNAKE]

sorry guys its all my fault....i guess i have a weird sence of humor...

[kibakiba]

Well, everyone is different. My boyfriend and I have a strange sense of humour and we laugh at things that people find weird, not funny or disgusting :D I like people with a strange sense of humour.
