CA BCI - Super Motley - must resist!

dannybgoode · 01-12-16, 09:20 AM

Luckily she has now sold so the temptation is removed but this beauty was bred in-house at my local snake store.

Trouble is - if they breed them in-house there may be more next year!

Anyway - not usually one for morphs but I would make an exception for this one!

Omg, loooove!

Those are going for THOUSANDS over here, and they aren't called duper motleys.

I will one day have another jet black snake XD

dannybgoode · 01-12-16, 09:34 AM

$000's?! Really must snap one up then. £185 over here or a little under $300ish depending on exchange rates.

Beautiful isn't she?!

dannybgoode · 01-12-16, 09:36 AM

And if that wasn't enough for you Mink they have the albino super motley also at £200 (c. $300 on the nose)

**Minkness** · 01-12-16, 10:12 AM

I hate you ;-;

I adore both of those and would pay 300$ in a heartbeat for one! But they don't have either of those available easily here.

I really adore patternless and reduced pattern snakes. Gah....so noce...;-;

Buy me one!

If I could convince Mrs Danny that I could have another snake I'd be getting one of these for my 40th. I have around 2 months to convince her!!

I like the straight super motley better but have seen them both in the flesh and they're both stunning...

You are crazy. I wouldn't have been able to resist, I would have used money that I literally don't have. That albino super motley is amazing.

Very nice! I will have to check my checking account balance now. LOL.

**Minkness** · 01-12-16, 12:05 PM

I'm with you snoop. I would go for the black one though....and maybe the other on too...just...because...omg...so prettyyyyy!

SnoopySnake · 01-12-16, 12:07 PM

Lol. I like the black one, but I like the contrast between the body and the eyes of the albino.

**Minkness** · 01-12-16, 12:21 PM

So true...that is very striking...and why I would need both! Lol

Are those really boas? Not sure why, but they almost look like axantic super zebra carpets to me....

SnoopySnake · 01-12-16, 12:27 PM

They are. Baby boas just have funky heads, lol.

dannybgoode · 01-12-16, 12:32 PM

Definitely boas - my 'normal' CA BCI is from the same litter. Bred in-house by one of the snake shop owners.

Am due a trip up there in the next few days to get some substrate so will see if they still have the albino - not that I could buy it presently.

They have some pretty stunning GTP's in also...

**Minkness** · 01-12-16, 12:49 PM

Ah, okies. Still learning recognition lol

Either way. Still gorgous!

This was mentioned in another thread, but just to let you all know, super motleys do not survive. You would be wasting money on a snake guaranteed to die by 3 years of age. The homozygous motley gene is linked to muscle deformities that eventually kill them, and anyone who breeds them purposefully is an unethical breeder because of this.

It seems that Central Americans have a small chance of surviving, so they don't quite have the 100% mortality rate that Colombian super motleys have, but a staggering majority of them still die and it's still unethical.
