He's finally here!!! Took long enough!

[stephanbakir]

Took 5 months but he finally got payed for, then needed to wait for the weather to break, but he's finally here!
Silly website will only let me link 1 at a time... Bear with me.

[stephanbakir]

Love the mirror shots...

[smy_749]

wow, jealous.

[stephanbakir]

Now for some low light photos from the kitchen, his colors don't come through well...

[stephanbakir]

Love those eyes...

[stephanbakir]

His lavender is hard to photograph....

[stephanbakir]

That's it for now, gona wait til it warms up a bit, and I'm moving this weekend, so that's more then enough stress or now.

[alessia55]

Sweet! Congrats!!

[JWFugle]

wow... incredible looking snake. very jealous. what is it exactly? dwarf?

either way awesome

[stephanbakir]

I'm still waiting on his paperwork, I believes he's a dwarf albino goldenchild.
He's about a year old right now... Super tiny!

I'm hoping he's a dwarf because I have a Kalatoa I want to breed him to potentially... But I'd be happy with dwarf/mainland cross. GC is dwarf gene originally.

[Ivanator]

That is such a beautiful snake! I can't wait till I can get one.

[DeadlyDesires]

you said payments? how much do one of these guys run? hes gorgeous!

I payed 2500

There a dwarf drains of albino, nobody knows the locality of Clark strain though.

[DeadlyDesires]

I payed 2500


holy crap... thats pretty steep

[millertime89]

GC is definitely originally a dwarf gene, but there are some big ones out there now. Congrats bud, can't wait to see albino platty GCs.

[KORBIN5895]

If I had known that gc was a dwarf gene I totally would have got one. I was looking at a purple golden child from Bob clark .

Make sure you ask about dwarf % and et paperwork

[stephanbakir]

Can't wait to stop using my ipad camera and take some decent pics!
Here is one last photo right before I clean his cage.
It's hard to capture just how orange he is lol...

How long is he? 6 feet? Head looks pretty yellow but that body looks like a orange creamsicle. Get a good close up of the eyes when you can !

[stephanbakir]

I'll try when I move into my new place on Sunday (technically my old place ;) )
He's ORANGE, neon orange with lavender lol.
His eyes are orange but they should turn white in the next year

[stephanbakir]

No idea on length, 5-6 sounds right.

[Concept9]

Nice and congrats. :)

[moshirimon]

WOW... stunning. A truely impressive snake, congratulations you must be super hyped lol. Do you plan on breeding him in the future? Looks almost like an orange phase atb at first glance!

[Aaron_S]

holy crap... thats pretty steep

I'm sure it's fair market value.

Even if he doesn't breed it, he is paying for the fact it's an investment animal, not because it's a retic.

I really wish ball pythons came in those kind of oranges.

[moshirimon]

What about the dreamsicles? Or do they yellow out

[Will0W783]

He's stunning! Congrats, Steph!!!

[Freebody]

wow that is one beautiful snake! I love GC retics, i cant wait to see lots more pics of this baby.

[Mark Taylor]

That's a good looking snake congrats.

[themeyers]

congrats it is stunning

[Aaron_S]

Never seen an adult.

Not the same orange though. I want FULL orange. The puma does have a lot though.

[Donnie]

Congratulations on finally getting him home, he looks stunning

It's right at market value, and considering he's a yearling and just about ready to breed I got a considerable discount.

[LadyWraith]

What a beauty! GC is my favorite of the retic morphs.

[Terranaut]

Looks awesome man!!!

[dave himself]

Mate he is AWESOME and well worth the cash imo

Think sunset combos have the potential to become pretty orange? I know Brian is in love with the reds on the snake and with most morphs in BPs seemingly bringing out the yellow it seems logical.

GC may be dwarf, but you have to be sure you know the lineage like Stephan said. There are some jumbo GCs out there because they've been bred with other things (like albino or tiger) that result in increased size.

[KSTAR]

Awesome one you got there

Sunset is just too early to tell. The good news is that there's a lot of other mutations to put it to to get the right look.

Adult sunsets aren't that great but they certainly have red which ball pythons are lacking moreso than the orange.

[shaunyboy]

a great looking retic mate

glad he finally arrived

cheers shaun

[stephanbakir]

Can't wait for him to shed...

[stephanbakir]

He's got a patch or old shed beside his eye, and on his chin, hoping it falls off when he sheds, he's in shed now

[marvelfreak]

Sexy little beast.
