Here are some pictures of my recently acquired Het/Applegate Pyros couple (produced by Shannon Brown).

Not familiar with "Applegate Special" morph, what exactly is it? I have a breeding pair of Tarahumara Mtn. Kings (p. knoblochi) that I expect eggs from in the next few weeks. They appear quite similar, but are not the same. Tell me more about your snakes & please explain the "Applegate Special" thing. THX Mark I.

Here's a pic of my male knoblochi (Soon to be daddy WOO HOO!)

Basically, the "Applegate Special" is a red/white Huachuca Mountain Kingsnake (l.pyromelana.woodini) with very little black. It looks a lot like a Christmas candy cane but it is not an amelanistic!

As you can see, mine are not "applegate specials" but they carry the gene. So, in theory, 25% of the offsprings of my couple should be "applegate specials".

For more information (and photos) on the "applegate specials" go to the webpage of Mr. Applegate himself.
