Pretty, pretty, pretty!!
I must share this photo of Whirlwind I took this afternoon. I was just testing settings on my phone camera, trying to better capture the snows in natural light, and just…Wow. YOU CAN EVEN SEE HIS TONGUE VEINS!
Oh my goodness @noodlehaus I just saw this post lady bug! I am so sorry you are having health concerns! I wish I lived closer to you as well to help you out! Best wishes for a speedy recovery for you sweetie!
Thank you, @caron, I can say I’ve managed to start feeling better!
Went out and made some purchases today, more 15qt bins and some new BPA free dishes to upgrade the Fireworks babies and one bin from the ATLA clutch. I will probably spread out the remaining ATLA babies and the Fruits amongst the remaining 6qt bins now that I have four more free.
Everyone is doing great, I’m going to be working on photos over the coming days and getting listings made public.
Sounds like a good plan to me and again I am so very glad you are getting back to normal! We all love you and your kindness, as well as your expertise!
So kick me and stomp on me but I realized I missed the whole first thread and I just don’t know how that happened @noodlehaus! I feel so badly about this! ! I’m a dufus……
Don’t worry about it, I post faaaar too much for anyone to really keep up entirely! As you can tell by the multiple threads with 100+ posts to them.
I have read all the current topics
Same. I really need to get a life lol
Not really sure what you mean but as MM staff that is called fun
I’m not sure what I meant either
MM IS my life
Heck, I’m frustrated lately because too many things Jane intruded into my MM time!
Was doing some browsing through sold animals on MorphMarket the other night trying to find good examples of Snow Het Palmettos to help me decide which little ones have those genes. What did I happen to find? Ms. Piña Colada’s original listing/breeder! She’s a 2019 Snow Het Palmetto & Charcoal from Travis Whisler. Now, for a crazy comparison, check out her listing photo versus one I took of her last year:
That is great! How did you come to realize that is her?
This set of connected saddles combined with the overall head pattern:
I’ll have to get better current photos of them, but they’re very distinct markings that she has. Add to that the genetics and the birth year being the same, it’s undeniable. I also know the person I purchased her from did not produce her.
She’s actually the fourth snake I’ve traced back to the original breeder using either FB or MM. First was my girl Sienna, then Azula (adopted from Snake Discovery), Val (adopted from Snake Discovery for another breeder), and now Pineapple.
That’s very cool. She definitely has a bit of a Tequila Sunrise look to her, even as a hatchling. And that head pattern is undeniably her.
Considering her “then and now” photos, and the fact that some of her offspring are already so bright, I can’t wait to see how vibrant they are as adults! Now the trouble will be figuring out if any of the hatchlings are also Charcoal, as Chipmunk was pos het for that.
When I titled this thread with “clutches of confusion” I had no idea I’d still be finding new info all these months later.
Here are some current photos of the markings that confirmed:
This makes me wonder how crazy the really frosted Snows she produced are going to look.
That’s a nifty discovery! I really like Pineapple a lot. I love frosty Snows.
I really need to get pics of some of the more frosted babies, there are a couple that definitely give Pineapple a run for her money.
