    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Wow!!! I think that snake is going to finally get me into a few cornsnakes! I love bloodreds, I love lavenders, and I never even thought about them being crossed. The first pic of the older lavender bloodred it simply stunning. We have a very nice albino bloodred at my work I've had my eye on, and those pics are not helping.
 
WOW Rich,

It's odd how much the first one looks like a Pewter and the second looks to be what I would think a Hypo Pewter would look like.

They are very fine looking Lavender Bloods. I'm sure you have a few others laying around. Do any of them show that orange/pink coloration like some of the Lavs and Hypo Lavenders that you produce?

Walter :)
 
Walter - actually no, none of them have the colors you often see in the Hypo Lavenders. I just recently got in an adult male Hypo Lavender Blood Red from Vinnie Ritchie who got it from animals I sent to him years ago. Rather interesting looking animal. If I can get him to sit still long enough, I will try to get a photo of him. I have at least one baby growing up as well, and hopefully will get more this year.

As for the Hypo Pewters, I did find a couple of them while I was feeding a rack I don't normally take care of in the daily routine. If you want to know what they look like, think of a really nice White Oak Phase gray rat snake.
 
Cool Rich,

Maybe after a couple years of selective breeding the Lavender Bloods, they will start to refine and develope those awesome pink/orange colors we now see in the Lavs and Hypo Lavs, especially the Hypo Lavs !!!

On the Hypo Pewters, I still can't wait to see and actual pic. of one, however, the White Oaks are my favorite of the Rat Snakes, so I know I will love the Hypo Pewters if that's what they resemble.

I especially like those that display a silver/gray coloration.

Thanks Rich,
Walter ;)
