Help with morelia viridis morph identification

[greg schroeder]

Have you tried to breed any the snow cone's offspring back to it?

It is the case that only one offspring from Snow Cone exisits. Rico has that animal. I'm not sure if it is a male to breed back into my female.

I only know of one other female green tree python which had a similar condition to Snow Cone at initial color change. That snake went through the same initial lack of color at color change apearing very light and ghost like. After bred once that snake turned blue. This snake is named Dream and has many offspring out there.

oh wow I had no idea Dream looked anything like yours at any point in time, that's pretty darn interesting..

The morelia color change is such an interesting event, I'm actually kind of surprised we don't see more visual mutations associated with whatever genes control it..

I think that's the problem. The green change is so strong is makes unusual morphs very hard. Greg, Breeding with a het albino might get some of the crazy genes out. However, all the recessive mutations might not be a good combination. Just a small thought.

On a personal note, I'm a huge fan of snow cone. When I visited Rico late last year I was disappointed to see she wasn't there. It's a snake I would love to see in person.

Have any pictures of an Albino GTP?

Stole it from Damon using a google search. I do not believe this is Floyd, the original produced by trooper. The eyes are the biggest give away compared to a canary.
