Too damn proud of this girl not to give her a photo thread. haha. Please excuse my indulgence. Here are two pictures post hatching.

and here's two post shed.

She is stunning.

 

[cguarino30]

Thanks. I'm planning on holding her back and breeding her. I'm looking forward to seeing how the pattern develops and whether or not it gets passed to her offspring.

She has such a crazy pattern. Very nice!

 

[cguarino30]

Thanks. I don't even really know what to call it. Obviously, it's just extreme zig-zagging, but when I think of zigzag or aztec, I think of saddles that are shifted on the center line to create a back and forth, this looks like it's shifted across 4 or 5 separate lines, so it has a very different effect. It reminds me of a slot machine.

She's a beautiful, beautiful girl!

 

[cguarino30]

Thank you.

 

[hypnoctopus]

I would just call her an extreme aberrant pattern.

I would just call her an extreme aberrant pattern.

That works. If I manage to produce a line that does it regularly, I'll have to name it something fun, though.

New shed and updated pics. I really like the way she is lightening up.

Wow, VERY cool pattern!
Someone gave me the "secret" to making zig-zag / aztec cguarino! You get the temp to exactly 87.3 then shake the eggs vigorously for 30 seconds. If the temp is higher or lower or you shake for too long you will end up with all male normals het masque and 1 sterile palmetto.
"Risk vs. reward" kinda thing.. lol :sidestep:

Great pattern on that girl! The anery I have has sections of her saddles like that but not to that extent!

That snake is absolutely stunning - the patterns are amazing!!

haha. The first time I read this, it took me about half way through to realize you were kidding. I was sitting here thinking, "87.3 sounds pretty high. I only incubated at 82 and this is one of the most aberrant snakes I've ever seen..."

Thanks. I actually got to see her come out of the egg all at once, so it was a very interesting revelation to watch as the pattern got progressively more aberrant and continued for almost her entire body length.
