Because Goldenchilds are awesome

:-) I'll add more to this later on this week. I just wanted to share. This is a 50% Jampea Goldenchild. The cool thing about goldenchilds is they come from very small blood lines already. Adding Jampea into them not only creates even smaller adults, but it enhances the colors. I have been working with a range of locales with retics, and I have to say that when you start mixing the bloods, it really does something special. . . This guy GLOWS

Phenomenal, I am waiting on my 2013 GC to shed...he is the classic dark golden child with a touch of silver in his sides.

Nothing wrong with the classic GC - they call them Goldenchilds for a reason - as they get older they will lose a lot of that dark pigment and start to get more golden brown. The cool part with the Jampea GC I have, is he was born golden / faded brown with silver eyes. He's also het albino and 50% het Anery to boot :-) :cool:

Those are some good genetics, you should pair that boy up to an albino sunfire, that would be good. Mine is 100% het amel, I have a female tiger het amel that looks quite promising as well. He is pretty dark from what I have seen but he also has some distinct black markings along his head that are really cool, I have not seen that in many other GCs then again I was not always looking (lol). Right now I am mostly looking at ivory het albinos and platinum albinos since I also have a really nice lav that I could see producing some great babies in the future...and at first I though I was finishing with a group of balls and maybe two pairs of carpets, nothing makes sense anymore :rolleye2: .

Love the photo! Absolutely beautiful snake.

No the het amels are from Ian Morris at Tics & Balls, really great guy. My normal female is from Vital Exotics though and she is pristine. Tiger Motley plus the het albino will definitely make some good stuff.

Ah ok! Yeah, lots of Amel projects are getting started out there, which is good for diversity, but I still prefer purple stuff ;-) . . . Hopefully my GC Proves purple and not white, which will generate Purple GC Motley Tigers ;-) in a smaller package (SD x Dwarf X mainland).

Another shot from last night. Can't get enough of this guy, or my new camera set up for that point . . .

Yeah, I actual decided to use lavender for any albino projects since I can theoretically get all three strands.

Mine shed out the other day...

Here I am, telling myself that I can't be saving money for retics right now because I don't need to be owning any giant pythons, yet here you are posting pics of these lovely snakes; the pics screaming just how awesome and beautiful these snakes are. You make it tough, dawg. :rage:
Nah, but in all honestly, lovely snake you have there. :) GC's have to be (one of) my favorite retic morphs.
