View Full Version : Do Any of Your Snakes' Markings Look Like Words or Letters?

I remember a post I saw here awhile back that linked to some guy who thought his albino Burmese python was worth tens of thousands of dollars because its markings spelled words. :rolleyes: Of course, he might have claimed that just to get laughs.

My Arizona Mt. King has markings that do resemble letters. There's a definite "Y", a "U" or two and a couple of markings that resemble an "A" or and "H."

Do your snakes have markings that resemble letters, words...Mickey Mouse? :D Maybe someone will have the first corn snake ever to reside at DisneyLand. ;)

I'll try to get some pictures of my kingsnake's "letters." They are neat-looking, but IYU isn't a word, is it? I guess she isn't worth $40,000. :D

OK, here she is:

With a little imagination, you can see a "U" toward the tail end, the word "HI" at mid-body, then the letter "U" followed by an upside-down "Y"...is she worth $40,000? ;)

Not a letter but...Yep! My ball python, Eight, has many 8's on her and one perfect "8"

It was the first thing I saw when she was handed to me and from that point on her name has been Eight:

That IS a perfect 8! Your ball python is worth--oh--at least $80,000. :D Or perhaps $88,888.

All of my corns have "OOOOOOOO" spelled on their backs. :)

Just kidding. But our Kenyan, Buttercup, has two PERFECT X's rght near her tail. We were hoping for a third, then we would have named her Jenna Jameson or something. :) :)

My bp also seems to have "alien head" like patterns all down her body. Maybe when she gets bigger I'll notice something more.
