By normal I am assuming you mean tri-color instead of tangerine - so here is the one that we have. He is just a hatchling - from Terry Dunham and was just a day away from a shed so looks kind of wrinked in these shots! He is an absolute idiot - totally hyper, crazy feeder and typical hondo. I didn't expect to like the tricolor since there is so much focus on the tangerines, but it grows on you! Some of the hypo tricolors are more spectacular than the hypo tangerines - and less common so far.

This guy is het albino and 66% het hypo - so looking forward to when he grows up and we can check the genetics out.

Hey Marc, I totally hear you about integrades man. I have a HUGE female that is a tricolor, but her white looks pretty damn orange to me!! Kinda neat. She's a MONSTER though. In more ways that one!! :D

Wow - nice hypo tricolor Marc - I am really starting to develop more appreciation for the hypo with tricolor and would love to see it with one like the second one Jeff has posted - she is really nice Jeff- may have to get myself on the list for babies from her -

Hey Mark I have seen a orange tri-color.Very nice .Almost looked like a tangerine.I kind of like the tri-colors.I guess you have to introduce the hypo gene to get rid of the black tipping though.Very nice pin stripe hypo you have.
Jeff 6 feet wow.A 6 foot albino would be a impressive snake.

Working on it man, working on it! 5 feet and counting....


Hey Marc, is it the tricolor Hondos that produce the bi-color albinos? I mean, if their 3rd color is white, then the albino version would just be red and white, right? I like the bicolor albinos better than the tangerines so it kind of interests me!

[MarcB]

You are right Jeff, the bicolor (orange & yellow) start off as tri-colors (orange, yellow & white) these can either remain tri-colored (orange, yellow & white) or have the ontogenic change to bicolor (orange & yellow) the white bands being invaded by yellow becoming a bicolored.

The female you got from Stav is a perfect example of this, I had told him at the time that this female would become a screamer, has she changed to a bicolor as I had anticipated? She must be a gorgeous bicolor. By the way, the yellow increases in intensity with age, one of my four year old gets brighter every year...

The albino tangerines don't go through an ontogenic change and remain white into adulthood. The hypo gene is supposed to clean up all bands in the Hybino, Imagine an adult albino that stays as clean as a hatchling albino (that lavander look for those who've hatched albino hondos) Hybinos will be stunning...

[Jeff_Favelle]

Oh I agree Marc. The hybinos are just going to be killer! The possibilities are soooo limitless. I love it. :D

Here's the bi-color I think you were talking about:
Night-time pic, so its a little dull:

Yep, thats the one..

Those white creamy bands should intensify with yellow, looks like it has started, you can't really see the third band anymore.

What are you breeding her to next spring?
