    GHI Blue Eyed Lucy

    I've been sitting on this since earlier this spring and just posted it recently, but I wanted to also introduce you all to the first white GHI combo.
    This is the GHI Lesser Mojave and it's my new favorite "white snake". It's a subtle combination, but it's awesome in that there is a light lavender hue that is most predominant in the head, yet covers the entire body. I suspected the GHI influence would be more apparent, but we are dealing with one of the whitest snakes out there and I can't say that I'm disappointed one bit. Another cool factor on the new combo is that the GHI erases the vertebral stripe that is synonymous with the Lesser Mojave...as seen below in the comparison pic (lesser mojave on left and GHI lesser mojave on the right).
    I anticipate they will color up more as they age, but I don't suspect they will ever be nearly as visually dramatic as the GHI super mojave. Genetically though...I think it rocks! Hmmm...I wonder what a Super GHI BEL will look like?
    I'm excited about how this opens the door to some new projects and I look forward to seeing other white GHI in the near future.
    Best wishes for an awesome 2013!!
    John







    Taken within days of hatching - the lesser mojave is pretty obvious here, but it was putting them in this container that helped me confirm what I thought I was seeing.

    Holy Cow! That is one incredible looking snake! I never realized the potential of the GHI ball python like this!

    Congrats John!

    The GHI has some great potential and it is nice seeing breeders share both their hatchlings and their success.

    Thanks everyone. I'm pretty excited about these and what the future holds for other GHI BEL combos.
    I hope you all are having a great season.

    Wow very cool! I'm definitely interested to see what it looks like with some age!
