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.

Blizzards Blizzards Where art thou Blizzards!
Ok folks, got a question. Has anyone seen or heard of there being a Blizzard(type II anery x albino) that is alive or created? Has anyone ever done it? Are the genes incompatible? Anyways i picked up 1.3 100% dh (type II anery(import) x pk albino) so we will see in a few years. Im starting to doubt that it can be done. I cant dig up anything on these buggers!!! Any help would be great. Thanks

The blizzard is a type II anery X Kahl albino and no live ones have been produced yet. There are a few Dh's floating around as you know  So far, it seems that the genes are incompatible...
There are strains of type I and type II anery that have produced anery's proving those individual animals carry a compatible verson....maybe that's the way to produce the blizzard??? 
I don't think anyone is trying to produce one using the Sharp strain.

Yea I recently picked up the 1.3 and was thinking of out crossing it to a type I anery.But wouldn't that defeat the purpose of making a true "blizzard"? It wouldn't be a blizzard at that point just a snow with nic influence. Plus the hatchlings would only carry 50% of the type II with them from that litter. I don't know I got a year or two to figure it out as the DH's I have are teeny. Thanks everyone. Keep it coming.

There are type II Sonorans, no one said that a blizzard HAD to be a Nic cross 
What I was saying by mentioning that there are Type II's that seem to be compatible with Type I's is that it may need to be THAT strain of Type II's that is needed to make the elusive blizzard.
No one's tried to make a blizzard-type critter using Type I Nics yet. I'm not talking about Colombian Type I x Nics, I mean farmed Type I Nics. Who knows what that type of breeding would produce....

Blizzards are Anery (I or II) crossed with either albino strain. I don't know of any Nic's producing, but many Colombians have been. Pro Exotics have produced quite a few. They are rare, but they are out there.

No, "Snows" are made using Type I Colombians. And they are not that rare, the first snow boa was produced back in 1998.
"Blizzards" are different from snows in that they are using the Type II gene.
Sort of like the difference between "Hypo Snow" or "Avalanche" which is made using Sharp albinos, versus the "Moonglow" which uses the Kahl albinos. Yes, technically they are the same thing--a hypo albino anery, but they are not compatible with each other and have different names/labels to designate that.

I believe one blizzard was produced a few years back but died shortly thereafter. I hear what you're saying. A blizzard is different from a snow. Sort of like with Corn Snakes. An anery corn has some yellow in it and will produce a white, yellow or pink snake depending on the lineage. Whereas with a charcoal (Anery II) it doesn't have the reds or yellows like the anery I, so you should get a pure white corn snake. I'm assuming the same applies with the blizzard boa because the anery II's do not have the reds and yellows. I've been waiting patiently to see one produced. I'm sure in the next year or so it will be done.

Yeah, realized what a mistake I'd made after I'd posted. That's what i get for trying to post on an hour's sleep. Thank you for clearing that up. I feel stupid. I knew that, and yet I had one of those "DUH" moments.
