Part 2

Constituted from last post.


This F1 female was collected from a north GA mountain. She is pictured here with another female from the same mountain range. The darker snake in the photo is a good example of the normal coloration of this locality. This female is exceptionally light by comparison. Her chevrons are not all all black, more of a light brown and her background is almost white, fading to a light brown near the rattle. We have a male “high yellow” timber from the Blue Ridge Mountains of PA. We plan to put him back on this female and try to produce a captive line of “high yellow” pastel timbers.

Hypermelanistic Canebrake Rattlesnake

She is one of the more unusual canes we have ever seen. She is pictured here along with a normal colored cane from her locality. She has the wide head of a cane, and the rust dorsal strip, but she has a background as dark as our KY locality timbers. She produced 9 off spring in 2007. We held back one male to line breed with her later.

Hypermelanistic “spotless” northern copperhead breeding project

These are two very unusual copperheads. We acquired the female (the darker of the two) in 2003. We sat on her till this year waiting for an appropriate male. She is not only exceptionally dark, she also lacks the mid band spots that is indicative of northern copperheads. She is a PA locality and certainly 100% pure northern bloodline. We finally acquired this male in 2007. He is a KY locality and rather dark for his locality. Under this light, he shows a little more “red” this in life and his pattern is much more pronounced. Under normal lighting, he is almost patternless. He also lacks the northern spots.

CB 07 Hypomelanistic western cottonmouth

This is an exceptional pink cottonmouth from the south MS locality. Pictured here with a normal cottonmouth of the locality. Our hopes are to acquire an amelanistic cottonmouth and use this specimen to breed out the first in a line of sunglow cottonmouths.

CB 07Striped yellow timber rattlesnake

This female F2 timber was produced from F1 patents from KY. Pattern mutation are often the product of temperature fluctuations rather then genetic traits, so we will have to experiment with her to see if this is a treat we can prove in captivity.
