New Lampro (Not sure of locale)

That would be an interesting move. Cos I'm sure that's how the blizzard calkings started. With amelanistic hypermelanistic calkings. I'm sure you'd get something pretty close to them if you F2'ed the babies.

By F2, you mean breeding the child back to the parent, right? So F3 would be 3rd line inbred and such? I asked this before, but I don't think I got a response. And as for blizzards, I thought I would also need an axanthic to eliminate the albino's yellow pattern. But, if I F2 and get blizzards, so much the better!

Sorry, I should have been clearer. I meant more like breeding the F1 babies from the first pairing to each other. Meaning sibling to sibling, het to het. That way you get a chance of producing a amelanistic hypermelanistic calking.

The blizzard in calkings is not the same as corns and shouldn't be called that. But that again it's just a coined name. In breeding blizzard calkings you'd need a melanistic/hypermelanistic and an amel. The line originated from the melanistic baja calkings but I don't see why a hypermelanistic female would not be able to produce something close to it.

Yup, Vanans right. This goes back to my earlier post in this thread. An albino melanistic Calking appears cleaner and whiter because of the melanistic trait. Heres another pic of Angel to give you an idea.

She LOOKS like she's a solid white snake, but if you look closer she has faint yellow on her. The yellow is more visible in the pic in my first post in this thread.
The white on a normal Calking turns yellow on amelanstic Cals because of the lack of black pigment.(not sure why yellow) With a melanistic or hypermelanistic Calking, the yellow on the albino phase will be washed out or eliminated because of the darker pigment in the white of the original melanistic snake. The darker the melanistic snake is, the whiter the albino will be.

That's awesome! Well, it looks like I've found a little project for myself. How much do blizzard kings usually sell for?

I paid $70/US for Angel when she was about 2 ft. She was sold to me as an Albino Snow. Not really sure what the difference is between a Snow and Blizzard. I've seen Blizzards advertised for up to $150/ US
