Check this guy out...

I have had this guy in my collection for a few years. I never had any breeding plans for him but he has a couple interesting things about him. First thing is that he has whistled occasionally when he breathes since I got him. He has never had an RI although he has been checked many times and treated for it. A couple times I have found small pieces of shed is his nostril and removed them. Other than that, he has these cool spots on either side of his nostrils. I looked at all the other snakes in my collection and none have it. Does anyone have a snake with the same dots?

Nope, none here! Then again I probably would have never really noticed it unless you pointed it out. It looks kinda sweet though.

Hmmm. I think you may have to send him to me for a thoruogh examination of the whistling sound.:D






Seriously though, he is really nice. Those spots on the nose are not that common when they are that noticeable from the ones I have seen. Plus that faded spot on his head. Definitely an animal to dink around with IMO.

He's beautiful, Jamie! I've seen a few members post pictures of snakes with those nose dots. Neal recently hatched out two poss het pied with those dots.

none of mine have them.

But Lucille has 5 black dots that look like if you connected them they would form a star on the top of her head.

None of my others have the black spots.

:hmm:

see here is a pic.

He's so pretty Jamie! This little girl I hatched kinda has the same thing...!?!?

Jamie, here are my lip spotted balls (sounds funny):

I have seen a fair amount of heterozygous animals have them, as well as captive hatched babies.

My little '07 CH female has them:

[IMG]http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/a...s/IMG_0376.jpg[/IMG] Ive seen alot of het axanthics with these spots also some genetic spotnose's have these without the one in the middle but also have the pattern on the top of the head.

I think my male from last year wanted the lip spots but decided for a head spot instead:cool:, hes got faded lip spots though.

Very cool pics everyone! That's what I was looking for... :)

Kind of odd though that everyone of those pics of snakes with the lip dots, also have a distinctly faded head marking...coincidence?

i hatched these two poss het pieds last year:

Now that is interesting. He was sold to me as poss Het Pied. I took him in a package to get 2 females (all three lived together in the same tank). I had no interest in messing around with poss Het males so he has been a pet all this time. I wonder! Eventually I would like to find him a good home since his future is not as a breeder.

interesting indeed! neither parent of these two had the spots, but out of 7 offspring these two got them. i'd be thrilled if it did possibly mean something--in a few years we'll find out!
