Just put a deposit down on this guy!

Evening all! I'm so excited I can barely sit still! I just put a down a deposit on this little gem:

He is a hypo het anery... 100% DH Ghost! My goal is to produce very nice clean ghosts. Long term ultimate plan? Get a coral albino, breed it to my clean ghosts... and see if I can't pop out a sweet little moonglow! That's down the road, but you have to start somewhere... and this little dude simply captured my heart!

Should be here at the end of September (hopefully I have my own place again by that time!). Oh, I can NOT WAIT!

BTW... I've already decided to name him Gwydion (blame it on the fact I'm reading Mists of Avalon at the moment :) )

VERY perty! oopss... i mean handsome! lol

congrats...

looks like a lovely boa, i am sure he'll make some lovely babies.

where are you getting him from ?

Im looking for a real nice DH sunglow male for my albino female....do you know if they have any available ?

He's gorgeous Lynn! :)

He's very nice! Do you have any pics of the moonglow you mentioned? It sounds like a beautiful snake.

Alice, check out this link. I found it while googling "moonglow boa"...amazing looking snake!

A moonglow looks a lot like a snow, but the genetics are different... and you can tell when you really look at them. Check this out, it has the moonglow now, at about three feet, compared to a sunglow (you have to scroll down): http://locolizards.com/moonglows.htm


A snow is an albino anery. But the moonglow takes it one step farther... you have to throw the hypo gene in there. A moonglow is an albino ghost, or a hypo snow, or, if you want to say it the long way... a hypo albino anery.

The odds of hitting a moonglow in a ghost to albino breeding are slim... though I believe Locolizards hit the jackpot and did just that. But out of that breeding you will get your hypos 100% het for albino, 100% het for anery... or, triple hets!

It's a fun project... in the longterm, I would love to get a coral albino and see what the color might do to a moonglow. Plus, the side project is to produce some killer, clean ghosts. I don't think there's anything prettier than a light, clean ghost.

Brandon, Gwydion was produced by Marc Solis. I don't think he has any DH Sunglows at the moment... but he's Marc's Reptiles on fauna if you want to check.

Thanks guys!!! I can't wait to see him in person!
