Who wants to see a bucket of golden erythristic ice cream?

Congrats man! Are you keeping all the scrubs?

No, I will probably sell most of them. I will probably keep a few of the reddest ones and sell the rest. Even the low red ones have the potential to produce incredible snakes. I'm thinking $200 each would be a fair price considering they have the potential to produce a new combo and how rare they are. Even the het goldens without red have cool bright patterns.

Very cool, congrats!

[BLUESIRTALIS]

Hey jeff, you still have some of these guys?

[Zdravko092368]

Please tell me you still have visual goldens and hets. This morph can not be lost from the hobby, it is my favorite and has tons of potential.

There's some stuff floating around

[Jeff B]

I kept 10, sold the rest. I don't think they will be quite big enough to breed this spring because I haven't been power feeding them but we will see.

[Albert Clark]

Well, slower growth is usually better for the animal and i know you are aware of that. Wish i had room to secure a few and as soon as i do, i want a trio.

Thanks for the update, glad to read it, would definitely like to pick up a golden one day.

Are you planning to produce any normal goldens?

[Jeff B]

Even breeding the erythristic het goldens to each other will produce variable amounts of erythrism and some will be practically normal or golden, but will never be pure golden only. From that breeding approximately 25% of the babies will be golden the rest will be normals, and all will have variable amounts of red. So even within the babies that are goldens they will have various amounts of additional influence from the eyrthristic flame.
Hope that all makes sense.
This is based on past knowledge of how these genes behave, yet who knows what the extreme end of the erythristic flame golden will look like. I think it will be a glowing solid orange snake with tiny black flecks. IMHO this could potentially be the most awesome looking garter snake ever produced, but everyone has their own opinions and different color and pattern preferences.
