Update on Zuko, Purple albino

**Tsubaki** · 07-19-15, 11:20 AM

Weather wasn't great (clouded) but the temperature was very high so decided to take Zuko outside, in an attempt to capture his real colors

So basically mission impossible, anyone who has ever seen a purple in the flesh will know. I expect he is going to be a true giant, if everything checks out he has absolutely no dwarf in him. He's +/- 1 year old, and an estimated 6 feet eating XXL rats and small rabbits. Xena (My 'mainland mix' tiger het albino retic female) was around 3 feet at that age (She's around 9 feet now at 3 years old, eating adult rabbits, doubt she'll get over 16 feet, but wouldn't mind if she did!)

In hindsight, i should have taken all the pictures on my backyard lawn like the first 2 pictures.. My own grass is much greener than the playfield next to my house

I love purple's, and Zuko is sooo beautiful! <3 Great pics too!

It's really a shame that there aren't any super dwarf purple albinos...

Yes it is

and thank you Sylphie!

Wow T, that is a amazing animal! I'll take a pair of those babies when their born. Keep the pics and updates coming. Very striking. Thanks for sharing him.

The giant snakes aren't my thing, but those purple retics almost make me change my mind. And yours is a beauty.

Purples and normals are my absolute favorite retic morphs. Wish they came in kingsnake sizes :P Hope to see more of Zuko; he's gorgeous!

Thanks Clark, Babies won't be here for a couple of years at least, Xena is only 3 and i never breed retic females before the age of 6.

Pretty snake, really pretty! But alas way to big for me

I can admire from afar with these big snakes lol.

Thx

, and yea their size doesn't make them for everyone sadly.

**millertime89** · 07-22-15, 03:54 PM

He's a really nice purple. Nice to see you were able to give them some outside time!

toddnbecka · 07-22-15, 11:51 PM

Awesome beast he is, wish I could see him in person to really appreciate the colors.
