Had these two clutches that were laid the same day also start pipping the same day(73 days at 80-81 degrees).

first pinner extreme out and about earlier today before any of the others have even pipped! More are pipping now as I type this, so I will get some more pics up later on.

They are all nice so far, but that top one is amazing!!! Wow, just wow.

The first one really is a looker, I'm looking forward to seeing the rest.

Congrats Doug! That first one is a smoker! WOW! :cheers:

Beautiful babies! Congrats!

Congrats

That is extreme alright - burn your eyes out... congrats!

Wow that is HOT man! Not big into the colubrids (aka poop-machines) but some of those colors are just freakin incredible :rockon:

That extreme is incredible. Nice. Congrats.

So what is that exactly Doug, Albino tang?

So what is that exactly Doug, Albino tang?

That is an "extreme" hypomelanistic Honduran. They display FAR less melanin than typical hypos do, and some exceptional specimens can look almost amelanistic(albino)like this one does. A regular hypo is just simply clean, fairly vivid, no tipping(until older at least).

And these have the melanin so far reduced it leaves the tangerine coloration an eye-popping neon pumpkin orange, many times with vanished and/or pin-bands, patternless bellies and throats, ZERO TIPPING(and stay that way through adulthood), and instead of black pupils, the vast reduction of melanin even leaves their eyes a ruby-red coloration similar to an albino. But it is a totally different recessive trait than amelanism. It is simply the hypo trait on steroids!..LOL! :rockon:

It resembles a T-positive animal, but it is 100% hypomelanism. You can even get fairly normal hypos within the same clutch of an extreme x extreme mating as well. And you can also produce extremes from seemingly "normal" hypos bred together, as long as they are decendents of an extreme clutch and carry this same "extreme" hypo gene.

Congratulations again Doug, those are stunning animals!

Good grief!! That is wicked bright!!
Congrats!!!

Congratulations again Doug, those are stunning animals!

Thanks Sara,........I just love working with these guys. Many times people complain about not being able to get rid of their hatchling snakes soon enough and have to hang onto them much longer than they'd like, but these guys are usually sold long before they even hatch!

Wish everything else was like that in life...:lmao:

LOL!,..thank you!, yes they certainly are very "LOUD" ...:rockon:

Wow !! Sweet looking babies.
I love Hondurans. I can't wait to see what I get from my adult pair this year.

Thanks!,......

Yeah, I agree!. Nervous as all HELL for the most part as youngsters, but they are definitely gorgeous animals as well!

I hate getting crapped on in normal life, but for some reason, I got used to(and expect it) from all the young Hondo's I have had over the many years. Holding other young stuff in my collection is an absolute DREAM after messing with lots of young Hondurans..LOL! :lmao:

But yes, I really do like working with them regardless..HAHAA!!


Good luck with raising yours up and producing some!



~Doug

Wow Doug those are super nice! I think I will have to add them to my wish list for sure. :master:
