A few lavender motleys

[blichtenhan]

I thought I would post some of my newest pics of a few of my lavender motleys. These pictures are all males. A few of them look very much like hypo lavender motleys, but I do not think they are, as most of my lav mots have been produced from lav mot males bred to mot het lav females, and I have yet to hatch out a hypo mot het lav, only an occasional hypo looking lav mot. I am still proving them out, but I think they may end of being straight lavender motley, but they sure are pretty.
The first 2 pics are a more normal and more colorful lavender mot beside one of my 'hypo-looking' lav mots.
Next are 3 pics of my favorite male keeper from last year.
Thanks for looking, Brad Lichtenhan

Incredible snakes, I'd be willing to bet the light one is a hypo. I love that last photo on the giant leaf, it really makes his/her colors pop out.

The peachier one in the first pic almost looks like the "mystery peaches" that have been posted before. They're all exceptional examples.

All of them are suprub, but the last snake is perfect and the photos of him on the leaf are award-winning!

Brad, do not forget, that amel is floating around in them there genes. No idea which ones may have it, but for sure some of yours do.
Other than that, I to hope those are hypos, but doubt that they are. You need to get a het hypo female, that is not het or homo lav to test that first male with. I was looking for one when I had him at the house, but couldn't find one.
No matter what else may be going on, they are stunning.

Beautiful snakes and seriously amazing photography = )

Wow, you have some real lookers! I'm partial to the "normal" for its lovely purple-y tones. So many lavenders are lovely, but lack actual lavender coloration.

Thanks

Thank you Mouse and Susan for the photography comments, the pics are taken with a nikon D60, as I could not use my manual focus Nikon very well anymore, my eyes were not giving me accurate focus points! Here is another (somewhat rushed, it looks like) pic of a female 08 ultracaramel motley on the green leaves.

Mike, I am doing some of the hypo screens this year, it least with some of my females.

Matthew, I do not remember seeing the mystery peach hypos, but that is a perfect description of the older ones color, all peach.

Caryl, I agree, on some lavender corns, there just is not any lavender. But when you get that dark peach contrasting with the dark grey-lavender with a perfect motley pattern.....I think those are my favorite. And I will have to take some new pics of some of my older snakes to show those, as I had a computer crash a few months ago and I have not been able to recover all the old pics yet.

Thanks everyone for the comments/replies, Brad Lichtenhan
