Thats a whole lotta snake you got wrapped around ya man haha.

I might try to handle a retic at my next local show but I don't know that anyone breeds them I think they are all wholesale snakes which isn't really my interest. Rather support a breeder.



Anywho question. Not at all trying to steal the thread though. I saw pics today on Google of black GC is that a GC Motley or the original GC without being mixed?

And what is a werewolf killer? Makes me want one just because of the name but again I'd only do a super dwarf. 9' is probably my max comfort level. And I understand the whole bell curve deal but I prefer to err on the side of caution. I understand that is your collection photo thread but knowing the combo to make it would help my Google search. Thanks!

GC has a lot of variation. Some come out black in its purest form. Some are brown and of course, the jampea crosses have intense reds as well. Most are just tan and get a little bit of yellow as they turn into adults (brighten with age as almost all retics do contrary to balls). GC motley though have a VERY strong head pattern from that motley gene, and the snake in general is always completely black. This is still a new cross. I will be breeding my Tiger Motley het SD/D to my GC Het Jampea later this year to hopefully produce Goldenchild Motley Tiger Purple and Lavender Albinos! Gotta finish getting that girl up to size, but she turns 3 this year and is packing size (see picture above with my foot as acomparison, size 13.

Werewolf Killer is an idea, but it was created this year - but the name I don't believe stuck. Werewolf killer is a "silver bullet" - mutation wise you'd be looking for a GC Snow or GC Anery. No one to date has produced a GC Snow, but it is in the works it seems, this year. My GC, if proven het snow, could have some fun for me later down in such a project. . . GC Anery was just produced this year by NERD.

Thanks for the explanations man, much appreciated.


If I went for a retic it will definitely be a GC, maybe full black. I'll have to look into the Motley GC's too. Maybe in a couple years one will fall into my price range for pet pricing. At this point, I'm gearing towards a ball python project that could be big (for my level anyways) so my funds are going there.

Please do continue to post pics though. These guys just look wicked (in a good way). Saw a pic of a retic looking through a door crack, that pic still gives me goosebumps when I see it. The all-knowing, ever watchful eye. If the Devil ever did take the form of a snake to deceive it would have been a retic, nothing looks quite as cunning as these guys (though geographically it doesn't work out).

The sinister eye.... he/she is waiting.

Something totally awesome about their pupils, iris, and brow that is too cool. Like a dinosaur!

That's an evil eye for sure. The look of "I'm gonna light you up if you put your hand in here" I know that look all to well
