New T.radix Albino Male

[Jeff B]

Richard you stay the heck out of Iowa or Steve will have you arrested for loitering, which is a felony with the possibility of 5 years in a federal pound you bleep bleep bleep prison, ever see the movie Office Space? Just joking around.
Richard I think you misread my post, I wrote that Steves snake looks T-......that's tyrosinase minus, and you were argueing that it doesn't look T+, I agree.
"Iowa strain" is T-
"Nebraska strian" is T+
or at least that is my oppinion and the general consencus from talking with others.
I would be surprised if the wild caught albino snake that I got this summer isn't compatible with the current Nebraska strain and I would also be surprised if Steves new wild caught albino isn't compatible with the current Iowa strain, but who knows until we do the breedings and prove it out, but hey that's part of the fun and excitement; discovering the unknown, uncharted waters.

Oh, didn't catch the " - " and thought you meant T positive. I think he's just a really good looking Iowa. Just an opinion of course.

So yeah, I think we all agree that it looks like a very clean, pink eyed T- minus, like the current Iowa strain, however I will say that I see a bit of orangish on the upper sides background color. The blueish checkers and bright light lemon yellow however is pretty typical for the Iowa look.

Well I think that the minor differences could be attributed to other genes from wild snakes contributing to his look. Amy is actually starting to change color just a bit in the same area you mentioned. It is turning a little more orange-ish instead of the bright lemon yellow. I even noticed some single scales on her side that turned that color.

I forgot to ask, will this snake be bred to one of Rita's babies?

Probably not since she was the Nebraska albino strain. Later maybe to produce some duel hets.

That would be cool. Amy (iowa albino) is also het for nebraska. Some of her siblings were nebraskas. Anyway, the little male Iowa I just recently got is also het for nebraska. So, if I pair these two up in the future there's a chance of producing both types in the same litter.

The new male is doing well. Saw him eat for the first time. He's spending more and more time outside his hide.
Next week starts his initiation process. Working towards a well behaved, loving radix.
I just hope he's very loving to the girls. bow chika bow bow

Riverton shed today. He has some socialization issue I need to work on. I don't think he's been held much and is pretty wary of me.

Beautiful snake!
