Sorry for the ridiculous title, I'm just so excited I could spontaneously combust...or self implode, one of the two. Just paid off my extreme reduced pattern albino girl, and as soon as we get a warm enough day, she'll be coming home! I seriously cannot wait to rip open that box and see her for myself, the pictures just are NOT cutting it anymore. LOL!
My pretty little girl:
I asked Josh @ Outback Reptiles if he had pics of her siblings from the same clutch, since he had told me they all had some degree of this crazy reduced patterning, and he sent me a few of them all. There were 2 males, 2 females. They all have some interesting markings, like yellow along their lips/heat pits, broken Y-shaped white areas that cut off their eye stripes, etc.
Man, I wish I had enough to get one of her brothers, particularly this one:
Then these are her other brother (1) and her sister (2) -- not quite as extreme, but still really interesting:
I really wish I could see all 4 of them together side by side and compare markings, traits, etc. But, I'm just happy I was able to get my girl, she is "The One" I have been looking for for months. I always wait until I get that absolute gotta-have-it, can't-live-without-that-snake feeling, and as soon as I saw her, that was it. Some things are just worth waiting for! Now to get her raised up and ready for her boyfriend, a genetic co-dom reduced pattern male that is 50% poss. het albino.
