Ebony & Ivory

[Bay_area]

All the babies have shed now & 13 of them ate today

Here is melenistic one next to "ivory" one


I was offered a beaded lizard for the "ivory" one, sounds like a good deal
This one has a purple tint to it. It was really thin @ birth, but it ate today. I might keep this one. Hard to decide which one to keep

Thanks for looking, Jerry

Very nice.

Good to hear they are eating, Jerry. They look great.

Looking good, Jerry.... but I must admit I prefer the 'normal' colouration.

They look great, Jerry! But I reckon you are trying to trick us and there's the same snake twice in the first picture, photo-shopped to make it look as if there were two!

The pattern on the snake in the last picture looks really interesting, I could understand you wanting to keep her.

I agree, but the melanistic one is still better looking than the amel (or whatever the hell it is. ).

DITTO! I am keeping the black one & have been more excited about that one than all the rest. The thing with the albinos that I like, is that I can sell them. In California, the only rattlesnake legal to sell must be albino. Also must be native to California. My wife is very happy that I am going to actually get some money for rattlesnakes. Yes, she says she get 1/2 of all I make.

Thanks everyone, I will try & get some pics of the others this weekend. The amel albinos are really orange right now. Too bad they do not keep the bright coloration as they get older.

Sincerely, Jerry

they look really nice and the contrast is sweet
I'm with James though on liking the normal better

Jerry, they're looking great. Beaded dragon-- aren't those poisonous too? Or is it "venomous"... :-)

[Stefan-A]

Beaded lizard (Heloderma horridum), and yes, they are venomous.
