An Avalanche and a Snow het Avalanche

CornCrazy

What's one more???
Here's a couple more cuties from Serp and Hurley:

Male Snow het Avalanche (Bloodred):

Female Avalanche:

The little girl looks like a snow...but she has a plain "bloodred" belly! She's a sweetheart!
 
No you didn't Terri!!! LOL Wow, they are gorgeous. I was wondering who got those. I should have known. You need to stand on the street corners with a sign "Will work for snakes". :grin01:

LOL...who has to stand on the corner?! I think I have plenty without having to do that!
 
I do have to say I'm not very impressed with the avalanches as hatchlings---though what morph of including bloodred really is besides from pewters.

Terri, please post some pictures in a few months---I'd love to see them as yearlings and adults. I'm very curious as to their look as adults.

Anyone have any pics of avalanches as adults?
 
Thank you!!

Also, I hope you didnt take it that way---I wasn't taking a shot at the snakes, I guess I just expected them to look.....different.

Nice skull head patterns on them both, though. Love that.
 
It's not a problem, Joe. I think most bloodred morphs don't look good until they get older. I am really looking forward to seeing how this little one changes, too!
 
That avalanche gal of Terri's pretty much looks, for all intents and purposes, like a snow with a plain belly. She is on the far end of the spectrum where the side pattern and head pattern aren't exhibiting much diffusion at all.

Below are a few pics of clutchmates who are an avalanche and a snow. This avalanche does show some diffusion, but I'd put her pattern at the midway point between Terri's gal who exhibits very little dorsal or side pattern and the classic diffusion pattern of having little to no side pattern and a skull or plain head. I think, just like with pewters and bloods, that avalanches will have a huge variation in pattern expression depending on the lines.

Head shots: Near skull on the avalanche, normal pattern on the snow

Notice the "peppering" or holes in the white patterning of the head. This is a consistent finding in my diffuseds and diffusion hets.


Dorsal, side, oblique, and belly shots of both snow and avalanche:

You can see "holes" in the background of the avalanche, just like the granites out of the clutch. The side pattern is fractured, but not completely gone. The bellies are obvious. The avalanche is also much less pink (not that that has anything to do with the trait) than its sister.
 
Awesome!!!

Can't believe how white they are~
Can't wait to see some avalanche produced form this pairing~
