Who doesn't love a good diamond cross?..

[Dave Kelley]

Probably one of my favorite snakes I work with! This is TYR aka Tuna III, one of my diamond x carpet hybrids that I work with. From her creamy white tipping or "fishnetting", to her darker dorsal area, she holds a great amount of contrast, along with an aware and curious personality.

Even more exciting, I acquired her parents back in May. It's been pretty cool to look at the her with her parents all while noticing how they each influenced her in unique ways.

Very nice. What %age diamond is she?

[Dave Kelley]

Cheers all!

Wow, stunning animal! How large are the respective parents?

They are 2006 animals, and somewhere in the 5-6 ft. range. Not large by any stretch of the imagination.

Very nice. What %age diamond is she?

I'd like to say I knew, but her mother has no lineage behind her, so it is undetermined. Her father is a 75% Diamond x Jungle though. Here's her pedigree, you can see for yourself:

Sorry to hear bout your female mate...

[Dave Kelley]

Wow...that is crazy Shaun! I can't imagine how hard she was striking against the surface...we all know snakes are strong, but to shatter their jaws, that has to be a serious amount of force exerted.

Also, yes, I have a few males lined up for her that I am contemplating.

I'm leaning toward the first one for her first season (2014/15), but we'll see what happens.
