My first foray into extraordinary genetics... I went to an expo wanting a mystic (phantom?), but there was none to be found - and this was kind of love at first sight - I wasn't even trying to go there...
BTW, the lighter one seems to have something called microphthalmia (small eyes)... She was given to me for free after purchasing her sister, and after a discussion with the breeder, agreed that she will forever be taken care of as a special pet, and not used as a breeder. Interestingly, I had several vet friends that looked at her at the show, and after some quick and dirty tests, it seems that her eyes are light sensitive and functioning normally. So far, she is the most outgoing, curious, and social of the two snakes. Go figure.
