Orange Thing Project Update

[SlitherinSisters]

Looking at the "thing's" baby pics, I looked around several breeder sites that have orange worms and I just don't see a difference. Do you know besides the obvious (color) if there is another way to identify the morph? I would like to also know if this proves out for you. That would be such a cool "diamond in the rough".

The orange thing is pretty easy because the color is so intense as a hatchling and stays intense for a good year. He also has orange blushing on his back and just a little bit of head fading.


This is how intense he was, his black was jet black, and his face was really dark, almost jet black


And this is a pic of his belly, even he has the tracks



The hets all seem to have tracks, mom does too. I sold the males with tracks because I really don't need them, but here is a picture of my "het orange thing" female


I was concerned about this female possibly being a het orange, but she's not the right color of orange, has a head stamp, and a normal belly





Of course you have to take this all with a grain of salt, because it's unproven. Hopefully I'll get some more Orange Things next year I did take him to the Iowa Herp Expo to show him off a bit and I had a lot of people stop and ask me what he was.

And an old picture of him and his momma
