    Re: Normals and their affect on morphs

    yes, the rich, dark browns contain lots of yellow. lighter, greyish browns contain less yellow. so a darker, deeper brown is better, and it should be as far away from grey as possible.

    judging from the pics i would say its really good looking, but i think for high contrast albino you can find browns with even higher color intensity. anyway, it should be good for cinnamon / black pastel / red axanthic / pewter.

    also the patterning could look nice combined with enchi; for my personal taste enchi is not a morph that needs to be light-colored. But it wouldnt work so well with pastel.

    Looks like any number of normals. I would not call her a dark normal...just normal. She does look good though.

    Oh, I'm sure she's pretty average but it's different when you tend to focus on one thing. I know she's nothing special but compared to my others and what I notice at shows, etc, she might as well be solid black...

    This is my "dark" girl, she's got a velvety look to her in person. She's being paired with my enchi, in hopes of the pattern helping out with the enchi banding, rather than the color. Next year I'll probably put a dark morph to her though, thinking black pastel.

    Are we sharing darker than average normals?

    I've got one that looks very much like that one. I bred her to a pastel a few years ago and the banding did come through but the color was kind of odd. Not browned out but it had kind of an olive overcast to the yellow. I'm leaving her for the dark morphs from now on.

    Yea, unfortunately my only dark boy decided he wanted to go off feed before he was big enough to handle it (450g). So he's out of rotation until next season. I can't wait to put some dark to her though.

    Wow... That is gorgeous and I don't even generally like darker snakes...
