My wife's "little" project to add in with my corns. Crappy cell phone pics, better ones to come when time permits.

A huge thanks goes out to Travis Whisler, John Stolz, and Don Soderberg! Thank you gentlemen for the wonderful time at the show and for the new additions.

I'm always amazed when I realize I've missed something on the board. The fact that there been no replies lead me to believe that others have missed seeing this post as well.

Those little ones are absolutely beautiful. It sounds like you got to meet with some of the really knowledgeable people in the corn snake world. Not that you aren't one of the knowledgeable ones yourself.

I found the label "het snow" interesting. I'm used to seeing the hets listed individually, but I guess that doesn't well on a deli cup, lol.
 
Wow, nice additions there!! Can't wait to see the results!! First time I saw scaleless and Palmetto in person. Just awesome. I went on Sunday and it was really cool to meet Don Soderberg. So much passion still after so many years in the business!

My wife and I also picked something up. A ball python. Didn't see that coming, ha ha!

Sorry about not meeting up...I completely spaced on it until late Saturday. I spent Sunday not feeling 100%, sleeping about 2/3 the day - I was awake enough to make it up to DFW Reptarium for live pinkies of problem feeders. FWIW, had I not been handcuffed at the after show auction, I'd probably be posting pics of a tessera het palmetto from Travis or a scaleless okeetee from NBK. BUUUUTTTTTT...I have more fun to post at some point in the future. It might be next weekend, or it might be after a successful breeding this coming season. :shrugs: :hair_on_fire: :D
 
and now for non-cellular photos........


I've always wanted Hurricane Motleys and IIRC Don's not really working with these anymore. I've been more partial to Hurricane Motley Anery, but Snow will work just as awesomely.

My wife has been sold on scaleless corns since 2013 when she held an Okeetee scaleless at the Feb NARBC Arlington show. I on the other hand was wishing I'd brought my camera in for macros of the palmetto I was playing with. Long story short, she got to looking at the scaleless Travis had in his booth and narrowed it down to a couple. Well, while she was doing that, I saw this gem and then I couldn't pass this up. She should pair nicely with my kastanie ph albino bloodred from Steve Roylance! So far all of my Roylance critters I've bred this season have proven out their possible hets, and then some, when paired to mates of either matching homozygous or known heterozygous traits (shameless plug for Steve :p ).

And obviously, my wife narrowed down her selection. It came down to personality (handleability) and pattern/color. She's a HUGE fan of scaleless does to Okeetee pattern/color, but IIFC the scaleless Okeetee NBK had was female and Travis didn't have any or at least when we looked. He did have some absolutely gorgeous bloodred scaleless, which gives me an idea for a particular bloodred I've been trying to figure out what to pair with, but that's another day, another project.

I oddly haven't been getting notifications from threads I'm active within, and I think my User CP is set to auto-subscribe to any post I participate within.

The trade names can be confusing, though snow is pretty simple. I spaced at their booth on shatter (sunkissed cinder), which I fought hard to not get it over the het scaleless kastanie bloodred. I wasn't too crazy on shatter via the pics I've seen online, but in person was a whole other thing - pretty darn neat looking hatchling.
