Power House Retic has arrived

Sorry for delays in sending out updates on this site for you guys. I've been moderating the Giant Python section and Morelia stuff as I can sending out info when someone had questions. But its due for a new post and this is well deserving.

I went up to NARBC this last weekend in Arlington, it wasn't the best show IMO, a lot of people have stuff hatching or being laid as we speak, so many of the new things were old things or OP hold backs. None the less I was able to spark up a deal before leaving for the show with Brandon over at Priceless Pythons to add one more retic to my SD / Dwarf projects, and this time I decided to go a little deeper into things, keeping with my tiger and albino stuff. So without too much of an introduction . . .

So for those who don't know what she is - this is a Tiger Motley, het for Purple Albino she is 25% Super dwarf and 12.5% Dwarf, which is pretty typical for brandons crossings. Makes for slightly more compact females, and it does so much to the pattern, especially tigers. In Motley the SD blood seems to pull the colors out leaving it silver and green. Adore it! By far one of the top 3 snakes in my collection. Can't wait to get some high% SD Anery in there and shoot for SD Snow Super Tiger Motleys in the future ;-)

Oh and a photo from this weeks photoshoot for fun,

Couple more shots of the Tiger Motley from the last 24 hours as she settles in more. Already pounding food and adjusting well!

Absolutely gorgeous.:gj:

:O I am loving these Retics... Awesome!!

,*sigh* can't wait to get one like that! Nice pick up!

Congrats, sweet lookin girl, cody!

Thanks guys here is an update shot on this girl - I posted it in the photography section, but for those who missed it

She has been named Snowflake thanks to her white head that will get constantly brighter with age. She has a good bit of attitude to her when shes in the cage, but she comes out just fine once you alert her with some papertowels or a hook. I have yet another retic arriving one week from today. A 50% Jampea Goldenchild het Albino male that will be paired with many of my Dwarf projects down the road, including my Dwarf Purple which will produce some of the highest % Dwarf Lavander Goldenchilds to date! Can't wait!

I love her iridescence!

That's a nice addition.

Retics are definitely known for their irridesence. and the Motley seems to really help it shine through. My GC boy arriving next week should be no exception and shine like no other!
