Whitesided fl. green water snake

[RedSidedSPR]

It's not the most attractive IMO. I've never really been a fan of albinos and snows etc. But the babies that would come from that...

They can keep it for that kind of money!

Way to much of a risk for me. It is a nice snake though. I just hope that gene don't go to waste i saw a baby calico fl. green before ,but i haven't seen or heard any status on that snake in a couple of years.

It actually does look like a pied... Whitesideds have a definitive stripe of patterning down their backs. That animal is awesome, some noob all morph crazy will probably buy her and end up killing her. Honestly, if you bred that morph to the red phase of this species, the babies would probably still come out white, the only red tinting that would show would be the scales that still have some color. When you have pied and whitesided animals, the white stays WHITE no matter what you mix in. It's far too much money for a wild collected water snake. You buy an animal like that and you just don't know what it's carrying and if it will live long enough to prove out. I have a feeling we will watch this ad price drop over months... Remember the pied sunbeam snake? They only tried to sell him for what, a year?

I don't know who would buy that. I guess the same people who would buy $30,000 balls...

I think its an incredible animal and would love to have it. I am with the rest of you though, that the price is too high, but if thes price were about $500, I would considered it pretty hard.

I know what you mean on the white sideds and pieds but the red tint on the head and down the back on a white snake would be awesome, and you never know what might come out look what happened when scott bred a flame to the leucistic eastern. I think it would be a neat project for sure but i can't afford it.

It will be interesting to see if the snake sells at that price or if it will have to be dropped.
At $1995.00 it might as well be $30,000.

If that snake was listed at $500 none of you would have had time to consider it as I would have pounced on it!

good point about breeding flame and leucistic, but the flame gene is different and it's much stronger. The red phase of green water snake is a much more toned down effect that affects the entire body overall... I don't think it'd change much once it's got such a powerful white-out gene over top of it. I had a beautiful red male at one point but he inexplicably dropped dead on me.... not surprising though since it was a baby.
