The elusive Elysium (2019 Sharp Blizzard)

Does anyone remember when I said that Q was going to be my last snake? No? Good, me neither. :D

Everyone, meet Elysium, a 2019 Sharp Blizzard (Sharp Albino RDR Black-Eyed Anery). He was produced by Kevin Hasley in the UK, and had to travel a long way to reach me in sunny California. The first set of photos is from Kevin, and the second set is my own quick pics from his arrival day, just before he went into his quarantine enclosure to rest up from his trip.

The search for the right Blizzard was an adventure in itself, and the international shipping process also had me on tenterhooks, but now he’s finally home, and it was entirely worthwhile. Just look at those big ruby-red eyes! I’m over the moon.

That is one wild looking critter. Congrats!

Oh man, I didn't actually request for photos of the parents from Kevin, but I can definitely ask him! He did tell me the pairing, which was Sharp Sunglow het RDR x Motley double het Blizzard.

Wow, I didn't know your Medusa was also from Kevin! She is a such a beauty. And I agree, Kevin was just fantastic the whole way through - and SO patient with all my fretful questions from across the pond, haha.

Thank you, jmcrook and dakski! I'm just itching to take more photos of him, but I'm trying my best to hold off until after he's had more time to adjust.

Thanks, yes she's litter mate to Kevin's worlds first black devil, when I went and fetched her I saw it and was totally blown away

Not both parents, but Kevin was able to send me a picture of the Sharp Sunglow het RDR sire to this little fellow.

And a bonus photo (albeit an unimpressive one with poor lighting) of Elysium in his quarantine tub.
