New Pickups from Tracy Expo

What's up everyone? Just stopping in to share my two new pickups from the Tracy Ca, Reptile Expo hosted by Shedskin Reptiles.



I picked up a Female Yellow Anaconda from last years litter first off.



And second, a personal victory for me, a Female Mainland Platinum Tiger Het Albino Retic.



Pictures as soon as I get a break lol.

I'll get em in just a few minutes. The retic is blue but might shed today so maybe I can get some better pics of her

Ok I apologize for the quality of the pics but she was not cooperating, and she's blue so not much I can do about that...

I haven't got any pictures of the anaconda yet, but she was HUNGRY! So I fed her a weanling rat today and she devoured it so no handling until tomorrow and glass and flash don't like each other so no enclosure shots today lol.

It's funny because my wife was scared to death of snakes 6 months ago, and her real big stipulation to keeping/breeding snakes was nothing that gets too big...

Well 4 adult BCI's, and 2 adult Yellow Anacondas later she has warmed up to the biggins and actually told me to get a retic.

She fell in love with the tiger retics, so I got a Platinum Tiger Het Albino Retic. Needless to say she loves her and can't wait to handle her. Happy man right here lol

Tell me what ya think of this lil one. She's def more manageable than my adults and I don't get nearly as tired pulling her out lol.

Do you remember the breeder of that retic? I'm not really seeing "tiger" in this at all. I'm seeing low expression of platinum perhaps, but other signs lead me away from tiger being involved unless its very low expression. Post a shot of its head (good clean top view) and under the tail?

Now that you say it, I totally fudged the title I think. I WAS looking at his platinum tiger, but ended up getting a platinum het albino instead. Guess the title just sorta stuck.

Ok, that seems right then. Grats, platinums are still a great animal and key to many amazing combos like Lucy's
