I've been sitting on this since earlier this spring and just posted it recently, but I wanted to also introduce you all to the first white GHI combo.
This is the GHI Lesser Mojave and it's my new favorite "white snake". It's a subtle combination, but it's awesome in that there is a light lavender hue that is most predominant in the head, yet covers the entire body. I suspected the GHI influence would be more apparent, but we are dealing with one of the whitest snakes out there and I can't say that I'm disappointed one bit. Another cool factor on the new combo is that the GHI erases the vertebral stripe that is synonymous with the Lesser Mojave...as seen below in the comparison pic (lesser mojave on left and GHI lesser mojave on the right).
I anticipate they will color up more as they age, but I don't suspect they will ever be nearly as visually dramatic as the GHI super mojave. Genetically though...I think it rocks! Hmmm...I wonder what a Super GHI BEL will look like?
I'm excited about how this opens the door to some new projects and I look forward to seeing other white GHI in the near future.
Best wishes for an awesome 2013!!
John

Taken within days of hatching - the lesser mojave is pretty obvious here, but it was putting them in this container that helped me confirm what I thought I was seeing.
