Anyone ever seen THESE before?!

I found this image on the kingsnake.com forums. There was some question as to its origin but someone said Bob Applegate was known for breeding them so its possible this is one of his? Anyway. My jaw dropped when I saw this snake. How gorgeous is this?

I also fell in love with this one:

Which is a Ghost Honduran Milksnake I believe? Anyone know anything about them? How they're made, temperment, and ***what they look like as adults?*** When I saw that one it made me seriously reconsider these guys:

To obtain a ghost hondo you need to breed an anery with an hypo which will give you a clutch of double hets, you than breed the double hets together.

Honduran are great snakes, long slender, very active, like other colubrids they do tend to musk especially when they are very young, however with regular handling they grow out of it pretty fast.

The first one is a spotted sinaloan. There are several people producing them, though none come to mind at the moment. If you get one that is het for albino you are not getting pure sinaloan as there have been no pure sinaloan albinos produced. All the albino sinaloans have some nelsonii blood in them, though it is not often mentioned by those selling them. There is not much difference between nelson's and sinaloans, but if you're a purist you'll want to know.

Check the KS archive. I seem to recall seeing a bunch of ads for spotted sinaloans back in august.

just jaw dropping. i couldnt take my eyes off that first snake for like...3 minutes. heheh.
its beautiful.

I LOVE those! I saw some lovely Ghosts at the last reptile expo that were actually closer to lilac-lavender than the pinkish there, but they were also around $350 which was a little out of my price range. I also really want a Sinaloan, too. We shall see... the next reptile expo is a long way down the line...

Now I'd just kill for one of these...
