Snow- why don't you see more of them

Snows aren't your typical white snake, and they're not easy to produce. Anyone whos' seen Brian Sharp's snows knows that he's the man to go to for them. I hear that he's literally got a snow factory going on over at his joint. :)

I would still like to get some snow in my collection to. I would have to agree that it is not a "Dead-End Morph" mix it with any pattern mutation Spider, Pin, Clown, ect. I am also sure there are traits that would clean up the little bit of yellow that shows through with age.... IDK maybe a fire snow would clean it up kind of a contradiction in names but hey what would you call it?
My other thought is with the Energy Ball and I forgot the other at the moment. They look more like what most people would expect a snow to look like White with a different shade of white pattern.... then again we don't know how they will age yet but I think the Ivory or lucy part of those combos will keep the yellow out of the animal.

In addition I would like to see a "Moonglow" ball, the Hypo Snow. I wouldn't expect it to look like the Moonglow boa but I think it would be beautiful in its own right.

I don't think that some people realize what a power house that snake would be. Think about it, you breed your female snow to say a spider. The next season you breed your male double het spiders back to mom, the worse you're going to get is a double het snow, and the best would be a Snow Spider, inbetween that you got Axanthics, Albinos, Spider Albinos, Spider Axanthics. That's a lot coming from 1 clutch.

And Yeah I'd love to make/have a Moon Glow ball. I'm already intending to go for a Albino, Hypo, Pie Ball.

Talk about getting into the Lottery Odds.... Triple Recesive. That is what 1/32 or 1/64...either way your talking multiple clutches to hit the odds if your not lucky

Yeah but the Hypo Albino is Orange. Can you imagine a Pie Ball version of that!? Oh yeah that's a 1/64 chance by the way :).

I've got a snow project going as well, but mine is mostly for the reason of having one in my collection. I like RDR's snow and I think the VPI snow is cleaner than other Axanthic lines.

I've got a way to go though for now as I am breeding a dbl het male to a het Axanthic Female this year and next year he will be with a Het Albino girl. Then since he is 100% het he will get bred back to his daughters when they are big enough.

Ralph has all three lines of snows. His VPI's are smokin though. I my DH's breeding again this year. I got my albino, axanthic, and some pos. DH's last year so it'd be nice to hit this year.

Heather is your snow project breeding for you yet?

I had no idea. Oh Heather you're so full of surprises. I agree with the double recessives. They are fancy. I am not working on any at the moment but plan on doing something with a ghost eventually.
