Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

A lot of claims here Fox...but for now I'll simplify to a single genetic component. What is your explanation of the Platty part (as others have questioned here)? You claimed that BOTH your parents are Platinum, yet neither of them exhibit the high lemon yellow that is characteristic of Platinums. Not even close. That's something that is immediately easy to recognize, even if an animal is in a shed. I'm not saying the parents aren't nice looking snakes, but you believe them to be Platinum? How do you come to that conclusion? Even if the parents of your parents were Platinum, they can produce regular color phased animals. So again, to simplify, given Platinum is not a recessive trait, how is it you believe these are Platinum in any way?
No disrespect, but either your eyes are deceiving you, or the person who sold you the parents misled you.
Whomever you got your parents from...can you get them to come on here and say they believe your pictured parents are Platinum anything?
Just curious.

I agree that photos never do justice as compared to seeing something live. And as you said, all pythons have moments when they really glow (after shed, after a good meal, etc). But a Platinum yellow is tough to hide even at their worst. And iridescence is tough to capture well on film, so I don't know if it makes sense to claim the animal's base coloration is being masked by its iridescence (especially when the photos you have up don't show any iridescence).
I'm sure they have crazy blues and grays, but the Platinum yellow you claim is completely lacking.
Here's a pic of an animal with some really awesome yellow/gold (again, pics don't do justice). Would you say yours are as bright as this? Less so? More so? (and btw, this snake was just going into shed when the photo was snapped as you can tell by the ever so slight hazy eyes, so the colors are far from its best)

lol kind of magical thinking on genetics huh? those crazy genes just pop up and do what they want, totally unpredictable.
it is truly unfortunate that we will never get to truly study the parents due to there unfortunate run in with evil Winston the cat...I personally would have a better set up if i were working with extremely valuable quad+ morph retics but thats just how i roll...

Earthworks, I agree. I cant imaging how much the parents cost...... I would have my own facility if I could afford Super Dwarf platty magic hidden low anery amel poss het calico het genetic stripe! did I miss tiger? o ya, I meant Super Dwarf Tiger platty magic hidden low anery amel poss het calico het genetic stripe Thats like 4 or more generations of breedings to get the above snake.... so somthing like 12 years if the females breed at 3yrs old.

It would take 12 years for you to be able to market them as SD's

Hey Fox...you never replied to my response. Was just curious as to how the yellows/golds on your pictured parents look (in person) relative to my animal. Would you say they're comparable? Or would you say yours has a little less than those. Be honest, as I certainly cannot tell from your pics. Thanks.
