What new reptiles have you bought recently? 2.0

Interesting. Also, what is the difference between Lipstick line and a “regular” hypo? I’m assuming that the name is just semantics.

The Lipstick Line is a Kahl Strain Albino that was established by Tom Burke from Burke Reptiles.

He selectively bred 3 females to one male and produced top-notch Sunglow’s that exhibited high contrast Sunglow’s with a red lipstick saddle and tail color, which he gave them the name “Lipstick”.

There are lots of hypo names out there now. Salmon, Summit, and Orange tail lines are just a few. They are the names of the people who produced / made that line.
Some have more reds in them, and some have more orange in them consistently. Or, like the Summit, it’s more clean looking, which in turn makes the colors stand out more.

By the way nice looking hypo you maybe getting.

I couldn’t wait to post him! Here is Sir Ulrich, compliments of Caryl Ulrich/BrightHope Snakes! He is a RFStrawberry Bloodred Het Anery 66% ph Amel ph Charcoal. Whew! His genetics are almost as long as he is!

This picture doesn’t do him justice because he is stunning! Thanks Caryl!

Edit to add: He might be going into shed……

Three cheers for Sir Ulrich!! I’m glad he’s part of your crew, @caron.

(He may very well be going into shed. A couple of siblings are going blue. Can’t wait to see how everybody looks after their second shed!)

Thank you Jennifer! Too many!. Ulrich is the 2nd from Caryl. I gifted Fannie to a teacher friend who fell in love with her and wanted her as a classroom pet. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

And here is beautiful little princess Miss Palaski! Thank you @graysnake Bill!

This picture does not do her justice though!

Also I forgot to add that she’s going into shed I am fairly sure!

Nice! Are they siblings, @caron ?

Yes they are sisters (clutch mates). Billow is a normal but she has lovely orange tones that don’t show up in her picture. But she is so pretty!

Palaski is a clown with really dark tones and lots of keyholes. There is something else going on with her Bill thinks but for now she remains an anomaly.

I couldn’t wait to introduce the girls but I need to take some better pictures in the natural light……
