    Het Russo white diamond??

    Is there any way to ID a Russo het white diamond?
    I have read a while back that you could but I dont remember
    How??

    Also what is it compatible with to produce BEL's
    (butter???)

    Finally what's the odds of getting a BEL from het Russo to butter?

    Thanks in advance

    Check out Vin Russo's web-site, I believe his business is called Cutting Edge Herpetelogical. I have a BEL produced by Jeff Luman that was the result of a lesser/mojave BEL x Het Russo. So this animal is either a mojave/russo BEL or a lesser/russo BEL.

    I've been to his site, other than a "lighter"
    Colored animal (which could happen by chance?)

    Also he doesn't say what it's compatible with?

    Thanks

    Can you post a pic of your Russo mix BEL?

    ok any opinions?

    here are a few pic's..
    my local dealer bought a bunch of visual (mostly) single morphs from from a "Wanted to be" big time breeder that had to downsize for whatever reason??

    He was told this snake (female) was a "het Russo" and I got it for the price of a normal because he cant sell or guarentee "hets".

    either way im cool, as she is a "Perfect" reduced pattern, and thats what i like anyways!

    So do you think thiis is a het Russo? (last pic is next to a normal)

    As hatchlings you can easily ID them. I've hatched russos and was surprised at how bright they are. They are very orange and yellow with a busy pattern. As adults they look like a light normal so there is no way to know unless the breeder is a trusted one and won't cheat you.

    Here is a Russo I hatched. They are compatible with all other leucy producing snakes. Blue eyed leucy producing snakes.

    They have a busier pattern, more alien heads and spots, lighter than average adults, and clean and clear babies..







    Here is the best page for seeing many het russos at different ages.

    Oh and here is my luecistuc which is a lesser x Russo. He is just as clean as a white diamond. He is my avatar.





    If you are looking to buy a Russo which was not produced by the person you are buying it from, ask for the breeders name and a record of purchase. If they don't have a receipt of purchase from that breeder, ask if they can contact the breeder to get one. Anyone who buys a morph should keep all receipts. I send the paypal receipts with the morph name on it and signed by me for everything I sell. I also keep all receipts from an I buy in case I want to sell it down the road or need to prove genetics.
