If I ever win a trip to Disney World, I'll send my wife and kids there and come stay with you! You have some pretty cool snakes, my friend!

Is that one of your mahogs?

No,Vanan. Just a "normal" that's het for what I call hi-orange.They (not the hets) retain a lot of red/orange along their sides even as they mature.

Hee hee, Vanan thinks all your floridas are mahogs! She's a real pretty thing. I didn't know that orange could be a recessive trait, thought it was one of those selectively bred type things. Are mahogs like blood red corns, a combo of recessive trait and modifers, or purely recessive or purely selectively bred like sunglow corns?

[crimsonking]

I can't be certain as the ones I have are the"originals" and have just bred them together this year. It's really more of a selectively bred thing for the color I want. Out of 2 pairs( say 1x2 and 3x4), the babies looked different from clutch to clutch. Clutch 1x2 is really nice.3x4 isn't as "colorful"(but they're very big) Now that I have the best male(3), I'll breed him to the best female(2) next year,and hopefully get what I'm looking for.

Cool! Ya gotta be the Florida King man! Nicest Florida's I've seen! Good job! Starting to make me WANT Florida's BAD! Oh well, next year I hope to be on the list for them!

It's nice to see someone else with a love for these animals. So many people consider them to be " trash" snakes. I plan on picking up 2 more myself this weekend. That will round out a trio.
