Het Lentigo Girl

Freshly shed and hugging the heat. :D

Cant argue with a freshly shed snake! :D

What exactly is the Lentigo supposed to look like? The story on it is pretty vague but is supposed to have something to do with the IMG. What I am not sure as I have seen nothing showing anything to do with IMG's and the parents are normal looking pythons.? So where does the IMG come into play then? I also know that it is a project belonging to deborah broadus.

ohhh I see it is originally your project. I still don't understand where she gets the IMG from?

Not sure where she gets IMG from it.
I have been working with this since 2006. She bought a pair of hets from me in 2008 and last year produced 2 more visuals.
The babies come out looking pastelish but they (and the hets) have grey bellies.
This is the original adult Lentigo that started it all.

Have you crossed this to any other morphs? I bet a pastel lentigo would look awesome.

I got IMG because that's what they were marketed as. I brought them from Harald (working as your middle man) as "Possible IMGs," and I had the patience to grow them out and prove them out.

I produced two visual females and 2 66% het males. I am still working with them and waiting and documenting any color changes. I will be pairing the two Hets I have again this year to see if I can produce a visual male.

Since you have only the one Het female, according to my information, what are you planning to put your het to?

My bad. :D
That was back when the Barkers mentioned it might be the same thing as their Axanthic IMG ball. When I realized he wasn't the DG I had paid for, I asked around on what he could be instead.
Turns out he was something completely different altogether. :gj:

I remember seeing a thread about this morph! It's really cool! Good luck with that girl!

Thanks for clearing that up.

So, since my animals were marketed and sold to me as "Possible IMG," I'll keep that tag until I do know what they are and the name stays since I was expecting a difference in color as they mature.

Until more matings are done and their combinations show how the add or subtract from various morphs, I see no reason to remove the IMG tag.

Here's the history and pictures: http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/foru...d.php?t=187472

Great project you have there! Keep us updated!

Just came across this thread, via a link in one of Steve's on FC.
Since my name was mentioned, I will clarify just a bit where the possible IMG tag on those snakes came from.
Yes, Steve had the original animal - purchased as a WC desert ghost (hence the name, Casper)...some time later, I purchased him for a friend; then ultimately ended up selling him back to Steve. There was a lot of discussion at the time about what he might be, and one of the more popular theories was IMG because of the drastic change in the snake's appearance over time.
In early 08, Ben Cole (who was working with the IMG trait at the time) voiced an opinion that Casper (the snake in question) did appear to be a form of IMG. That thread, along with links to more pics of Casper, can be seen at http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/foru...light=ben+cole.
When the babies from our respective clutches hatched, we were still considering Casper a probable IMG. Steve also had some communication with Graziani (I think that's who it was, anyway), who thought they were something different. Based on those conversations, Steve chose his holdbacks. When he decided to sell, he offered them to me....and I, in turn (and with Steve's permission), passed the offer along to Deborah.
