For Davesfiles: Washed-Out Diffuseds!!

[Nanci]

Dave said: "I really do not understand the rush towards "diffused" or "washed out colors". But then I'm half blind in my good eye; and half deaf in the other. Perhaps 'dull' is fashionable for the moment?"

Them's fighting words!!!!!!!!

May I present Jasper? 2007 Low Belly Reptiles Hypo Washed-Out:

And as my final exhibit, Ruby, 2007 Rich Hume Washed-Out Stripe: (I dare you to call her dull to her face!!)

 

[Nanci]

Just kidding! How about this?

Ruby again: (part of the disastrous Pizza With Protection photo shoot)

 

[Nanci]

The only safe way to handle her...

 

[Nanci]

Last but not least, Washed-Out and Hypo Washed-Out together! Thanks for looking!!

Ruby is such a cute little bad a$$ I love her Nanci and the diffused gene for that matter!!

 

[The_Thunderer]

Great examples, Nanci! They're all lovely... of course Ruby is right there at the top!

BTW, that's how I handle my ever hungry Florida King, Relena! Paper towel roll please!

 

[sweet~nichole~marie]

Oooo, Ruby is scary ~LOL~ Does she have any other pose? ~grins~

 

[Nanci]

Pretty much, no. She just bit me yesterday. She's cranky.

Nice series Nanci!
Made a good point, how could you not appreciate them?
And I always like pics of your Ruby.

I _do_ know what Dave means, though. There are an awful lot of gray and pink snakes. Seems like the more things you combine, the more gray or pinkish white you get. Some people like that however, and I would be one of them! Dave, DYK lavenders were originally called Mocha, because of their not-so-purple hatchling color...

I love all the gray morphs, though. Especially the ones that look all metallic and shiny. But, as they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

Ruby is pretty, but I don't think I would like being bitten all the time ~LOL~ Doesn't she know cornsnakes are supposed to be mellow?

One out of 24 isn't bad! I tell you what, if all snakes had Ruby's temperament, I bet not so many people would keep snakes...She's always a good photo model!
