Kyna is about 2.5 years old and a rescue we took in last summer. She's done amazingly well and is now just over 1,100 grams. Now on to my ponderings on Kyna's future breedings.
I cannot photograph her properly...very frustrating! The following pics don't show her colors as well as I'd like. She's got this olive tone to her that none of our other snakes have. She reflects back green if she's put on anything green toned (especially on the grass)...hope that makes sense. She also has this band of yellow coming off her belly all along her sides. It's not gold, or brownish yellow...it's pure lemon yellow? As well she has a few wierd single scales on her upper body that are again....pure lemony yellow...just a few scattered here or there???
Now I know Kyna is just a normal, that's a given but I'm wondering with this lemon yellow going on if we should plan to one day breed her to a lemon pastel male. Would her colors help to enhance the lemon pastel or do the normal females really have anything much to do with what morph you mate them with?
I adore Kyna, she's a lovely good natured, highly inquisitive female BP (some of you will remember her as "Punkin" LOL). I've just always thought she looked so different from the other snakes we have and wondered if I should be making plans for her to take advantage of her difference.
Here's some shots of Kyna but as I say I don't have the skills or the camera to properly catch her right. Her yellow always seems to wash right out in photo's yet in person it's so bright and obvious that even our non-snake owning friends often comment on how different she is.
Look I caught Mike!!!!!

Best I can do to try and show the yellow, but still not a good photo *sigh*
