Cajun Lithium

I finally have a nice camera -- now I have to learn how to do it justice. I WILL be improving my camera skills. ;) A talented few on this forum are what I consider "artists" with their cameras. You have my admiration. :bow::bow::bow:

Below are some less than great shots of a Cajun Lithium (Cajun Cinny Butter). She has just had her second shed and is about 80 grams.

She looks much different in pattern and color than the Lithium I produced in 08. Thanks for looking. :)

I love seeing the cajun project pop up on these forums :) Don't get to see any of that very often! Beautiful animal you have there!

Awesome shots Bill I'll be at Pomona bring her down to see me.

I have not released any to date. :) Would prefer to make a Super and a combo or 2 first - I am conservative that way!! ;)

My founding Cajun (named after a color that best matched hers' that I found on an interior paint chart :P) female is a captive hatched girl I bred in 2007-2008. She gave me 8 perfect eggs as a 1600 gram virgin -- it was my first clutch of 2008 and 2nd clutch EVER. :gj:

Below are pics of:

-- a Cajun male produced from my first clutch in April of 08

-- a Cajun Butter female from the same clutch - shown at 1000 grams. She is now 1800 grams and more beautiful than ever!! Here love of rats will be rewarded with a "date" with my Caramel Mojave male this spring. ;)

-- my 08 Cajun Butter Male breeding mom who has taken a year off and looks to be ready for 2010. Bill wants a Super Cajun Butter!!!!!

-- same Cajun Butter male breeding the Cinny mom of the Cajun Lithium baby girl in this thread. She is one of those high-red, blushed Graziani Cinnys that takes me aback every time she sheds!! :O

I have bred Mr. Cajun Butter to Y. B. and a Pastel in 09 -- they seem to be waiting for 2010 as well. :rofl: We will see what the upcoming year adds to the Cajun saga...:snake2:

Awesome project man! I'm loving that Cajun butter girl! :bow:

:O Absolutely stunning!

I'll do that Tim. :gj:

I'll put her and one of the Caramel Mojaves in coat pocket with a heat pack -- good to go!! ;)

So the cajun is a black back?

Dave

She is beautiful! And I love the morph name. :D

I guess it is Dave. :) Seems odd that it would produce such an extreme stripe to the Cajun Lithium girl???

It is variable as with any morph. I would think that the closest similar morph would be the animals Joe Compel has -- Brown Backs?? Sorry Joe -- I should remember their name -- my bad. I know he has produced a Super with them -- very cool. :cool:

Cajun gene has had kind of hypo effect on my Butters -- I was hoping to get a Pastel and Y.B. clutch -- maybe this season?

I had a clutch from a captive hatched female bred to the Cajun Butter that produced 2 babies with weird scull spots at the base of the neck and FUNKY color as well. I will be breeding the Cajun Butter ???? male from that clutch back to mom this winter or spring. She also has the neck thing going on. She is not what we know as Granite appearing. Wacky stuff these Balls!!:rolleye2::rolleye2::rolleye2:

Yeah, I guess your female does look more like a brown back than a black back, with decent coloring. So, do you think it is a color and pattern deal or just pattern?

"I have this Ghost female that needs a mate!"

The Lesser cross looks interesting. Any pics from Compels line or the Super?

Dave

Absolutely fantastic looking snake! I want one of those!

No pics of Joes stuff, but they are around the web. I saw the super in some show pics at his table. I am suspecting my super will be more extreme in color and pattern than his -- just a hunch.:rolleyes:

I think both color and pattern are at work Dave. I should restate that the "hypo" is more "highlight" in actuality -- more of a Yellow Belly effect than a traditional Ghost/Hypo "hazy effect". The blushing back color in the Butter combo is not brown -- but rather a mauve or off pinkish-red.

The Butter is the only combo I have made thus far. My thought that the Pastel and Y.B. combos will give me more insight -- I hope.:confused:

wow that is one smoking animal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and nice pics!
