Antaresia Morphs?

[SerpentLust]

As everyone knows I love the Antaresia grouping of pythons. I think they're a joy to keep and also a great beginner snake and an entertaining intermediate keeper's snake.

My question is, has ANYONE ever heard of any Antaresia (Children's, Spotted, Anthill or Stimsons) having any other fazes other than Granite and Normal. I can't even find Albino! lol

And also, why is this?

I know Piorun hatched one out that he's calling hypo-melanistic because it's lighter than most, and i think he kept it to see if it's genetic...

But there is a serious lack of morphs in the Anteresia world...

Hehe Mark yeah I know :) I go to Henry's site like weekly, he has, in my opinion, the best site that's very attractive and easy to maneuver around

There are striped Childrens/Spotteds, but that trait is variable and not always inheritable
I have produced striped ones(years ago) and Clint Gilders has been working with that trait as well

Do you have any pictures? I have never seen a striped one

A few months ago the Queensland NPWS picked up an albino Spotted, A. maculosus, near a guys farm.

One reason for that, is if any are recovered in the wild (like most naturally ocurring morphs such as albinos are), they are confined to the continent. Unless a morph pops up in captive produced, North American stock (or other continents overseas that are willing and able to ship), you're SOL for legally aquiring any morphs.

Dont Forget about Cape york spotteds Its not so much a morph as it is a locality though
