I may be getting (*pleading in the backround with my mother, who doesn't really like snakes*) another member of the family! I have one picked out, and I would like your guy's opinions. He is larger than a hatchling but not big enough to be considered a "semi-adult," and has the label of "Lavender Aztec." He looks and feels pretty healthy...no mites or ticks on him that I can see, not flabby or extra skinny, has been a proven eater for a while now....But since I know nothing about genetics, I'd like to know whether or not getting one of these for around 100 dollars is a good deal. Or is the guy ripping me off and there is no such thing as a Lavender Aztec? (Sorry I'm so suspicious, I once had a guy try to sell me a Copperhead as a cornsnake by painting the animal. It was so pathetic.) Am I getting a good deal or a bad one? To anyone who actually has a Lavender Aztec, could you post one in the gallery for me to see, please? I'm so wound up, now all I have to do is convince my mother that two snakes are fine to have...

wish you had a pic to post
Thank you
Thanx guys, I checked for lavender aztecs on the net, and I found some. The snake in question sure looks like one....I believe I'll get him even if he turns out not to be one, he's so pretty (and cheap). Once I do, I'll try to post some pics...darnit, I wish I had a scanner, I have to put pics on a CD!

Since I can't post a pic of him yet...
I'll show you a snake that kinda looks like him. Here's the link

He looks like this snake except darker and quite a bit smaller. It may turn out that he's an anthrystic zigzag instead...hmm, I'll have to look at his eyes tommorow when I go to see him...Poor snake probably won't appreciate me staring at his eyeballs the whole time I'm there

If it's darker than this pic then it may very well be an anery zig zag. It's very pretty, though.

Went to look...
And the little guy has faded checkers on his belly and dark purple eyes. A friend of mine said that eye-color will tell you whether or not the snake is a lavender. Is he one, or is this not enough info? He looks lavender-ish to me, but then again I've only ever seen a few decent lavenders in my life.
Unfortunately, my dad still isn't totally convinced. The best I can do is put a hold on him, and if that happens that means I have to wait weeks to finally go get my baby!
