I'm thinking cardboard...as in shipping box, then my address on the box!! That is one HOT snake. Best example of the morph I have ever saw.

I thought Ralph said his "bubble gum" died before he was able to breed it? Maybe I am just remembering wrong, but I thought he said it died of a RI that he did not notice.

Well heres the back story. The BG calico's are from a hidden gene. I dont know what happened to the original one Ralph had. I should email him to find that out.

This female that I have Was produced by Chris at bareptiles. Her brother was amazingly orange and pink.

This line originated from a CH normal female from a gravid import years ago. This female is owned by Mike Cole at Ballroom reptiles. She was put to a regular run of the mill Calico. Basically the ones that look like high white sided normals.

The result was these crazy colorful BG Calicos. He has not gotten this result with any other female so there is some hidden gene there that is combining with the Calico to produce these. So far no one knows how to produce these. Even the ones Ralph had were a fluke and were never figured out.

Now Im going to be working with Chris on this female to see what we can get by putting her to different things. He believes I should put a pastave or a killer bee to her. Something with high white sides and alot of color to bring it out more in the offspring.

Here are her baby pictures so you can see how bright she was and how much of that color she retained.. The pink turned white but she is holding all the other color so far. Plus the ringer is getting bigger and brighter.
