Have wanted an albino tangerine honduran from the first time I saw a photo and now he has arrived and settled in - it is time to show him off. He is more exquisite in real life than I could have imagined - he doesn't even look real - but he still acts like every other Honduran baby - have to get him in a deli cup to get a decent photo! Thanks yet again to Terry Dunham (Albino Tricolors) who produces such wonderful hondurans.

That is one far-out snake. Congrats, Mary!
Beautiful Mary! I now understand why you meant that you had enough males...
Is he an Hybino project tangerine albino? You are building an impressive hondo colony, we definately need to coordinate some breeding projects together ;)
Congrats on your new boy

Thanks for kind comments everyone - I am just blown away by this guy every time I look at him. Was definately a splurge but I love having beautiful snakes.
Joshm - in terms of what hondos I have - currently many are youngsters - posted some photos of the baby tangerines a few days ago. For adults we have a couple male ghosts and a trio of tangerine adults. Will be a few years before we are producing any of these morphs that people like MarcB get on a regular basis - but I really like Hondurans and it was a thrill to hatch our first clutch this year. Pics of our guys are in my photo gallery (click camera icon beside name).
Classic - definately get yourself one - or more - they are so pretty you cannot believe it and I am thrilled with this one - so my advice is to splurge!
MarcB - yes he is from the hybino project so is possible het (and possible homozygous) for hypo as well. Color doesn't seem intense enough to me to figure he is a hybino (there were some posted recently on another forum that looked like they were tangerine albino with a thin, vanishing band look to them - not much said but I had to wonder if they might be hybino). Main reason I am looking for a female hypo is to test him out for het hypo when he matures. I have a long way to go until I can come close to guys like you who are actually producing these snakes (and the hypo tri-colors and snows) but I am sure looking forward to having some luck this season,

Not a person 4 cubrids, but that looks cool.
Stunning :bounce:
Just curious how difficult it is to get Lampros across the border. Do you have to cross yourself to pick them up, or can they get through customs without you...? What about permits, etc...?

Will - there is no restriction or paperwork required to bring lampros into Canada - the problem comes with getting a US breeder willing to ship into Canada. For the most part it is easiest to get breeders in the US to ship to an American airport near the border and then go down and drive them back - and taking responsibility for getting all the US paperwork completed to take them out of the US - absolutely nothing to do as far as bringing them into Canada beyond paying the GST and duty on purchase price (that hurts!).

Mary,
He is amazing! What an addition to your family. He will make gorgeous babies. There are so many beautiful snakes out there, and so many of them live in your house! Take care!

holy mother of Darwin! that thing is a screamer.
Nice purchase Mary. I don't even want to know what it cost you. By the way there is no duty on wildlife, never has been... Just GST & PST, and shipping..in TO there is a terminal charge as well and of course exchange on the greenback butno duty..
Tell Terry hellow

Hey Roy,
Interesting point on the duty - I hadn't paid too much attention to what fees they add up when the customs guys go through things - guess that total is all GST - still hurts, especially when it is on the Canadian equivalent of the US price. Hate to have to pay Canada for goods or service recieved in another country!
