Wild caught morphs

[ConcinusMan]

I thought it best to give up miss piggy (shown here with "flicker" the erythristic male) to Shannon since she recently acquired a male that is nearly identical to miss piggy.




If she can get them to breed, we will at least know that the offspring carry red stripe genes from both parents. Of course, when polymorphism is involved, there's no guarantees as to the outcome of the offspring. Still, it's all we have right now but even then, it's not a "morph" as we understand it. There exists only erythristic and melanistic for our breeding purposes.

I would have paid $400 just for offspring of that albino found last year, but now that's not going to happen. It will have to wait another 25-40 years until another albino is found and bred in captivity.

Maybe one of mine will produce an albino, and you can have him for shipping costs

[RedSidedSPR]

Whatever happened to that blue NW?

[ConcinusMan]

And maybe I'll find an albino in some alley in SE Portland at 2AM.


(Hint: you wouldn't catch me there at that time unless I was dead or "packing")

Richard let him go because he wasn't doing well in captivity. Azul is blue, but not as blue as Richards

[RedSidedSPR]

Oh shucks. He was awesome!

[kibakiba]

Indeed. Mama would have loved him...

Let who go? Flicker (the erythristic male ordinoides) is alive and well in captivity. Has been for over a year now. He just doesn't belong to me. I don't have the luxury of trying to breed him to various females over the course of a year.

EDIT: nevermind, I see. Yeah, the blue northwestern I had was in pretty bad shape when I found him. Couldn't get him to eat. He got way too weak. It was let him go or watch him die.

The blue one, Richard.

The corn snake that was posted is the Palmetto corn snake, which is only going to be for sale for the first time this year, and they are expensive and a half.
I think that corn snake is the same color morph as my white water snake.... The snake is white with just flecks of it's normal pattern. I like that blue eastern garter that was posted from NY... Cool stuff everyone.
