Anybody know anything about her? AND shes gravid.. PICS

So this is my first girl to go gravid this season and i figure its time to try and figure out what the heck is going on with her... i have had a few people specualte Het Desert Ghost bt obviously there is no way to know for sure on that. BUt i jsut wanted to see if anybody had seen anything quite like her? Her colorr "washes out" more every time she sheds. she started off pretty normal looking and now there is this ivory-ish color that is just taking over... its pretty cool whatever it is but i just thought id ask.. also she was bred to a pastel butter and now...:banana::banana: haha so that could be some pretty cool stuff

Also i have spoken with Joe Ellis about it and it is very similar to his "original josie" that started that whole like.. you can see his snake here and you can see how close it is.

You said u spoke with joe ellis? What part of VA are u located in or did u speak with him online.

pm'd u

She looks like she's got dinker properties, but of course, it's difficult to tell with pictures. It could be normal variations, or temporary changes, or something "different".

Good luck and I hope that something really awesome pops out of her eggs.

Definitely not normal. I've asked a few big named breeders and the word normal never came out of their mouth. It was either a possible new morph or pattern distortion due to het desert ghost. I guess they have seen some similar effects from all that stuff. Just wanted to see if u guys had seen anything close So I have an idea of what to expect.

Can't wait to see the results of that pairing. Here's hoping for a good clutch!

A lot more than I paid for her haha but not enough to overcome my curiosity. When it comes to stuff like this It's not about the money for me ya know... It's the thrill of creating new stuff and caring for my animals.
