Ultras?

Yes. I am expecting to have GoldDusts as well as Ultramels and Ultras available this season. As far as posting pics of the babies, well I usually take photos of clutches as they are hatching and post some of those photos in my photo gallery here on this site. But posting photos of individual babies for sale is not something I normally do based on the numbers I am dealing with. Posting and managing a couple thousand individual photos is not something I really want to spend all my time on. During the busy season, I would have to be spending most of my time just marking which ones were tentatively soldm and removing those photos of animals that had already been sold so I don't get people trying to order them and requiring me to send them emails explaining that some of the animals they ordered are no longer available.

Sometimes stuff moves FAST around here.

As soon as I get taxes out of the way and the breeding is mostly over with I am going to tackle my 2005 price list.
 
I'm glad to hear you're going to have Ultras Rich, I was wondering where I was going to get one. :crazy02:
 
me too! I would be quite happy to see pictures of your clutches. I love your hatchling photos! Pictures of each snake would make them unaffordable!
 
I'll be ordering some ultras this year. I'm pretty excited to get those genes in some of my projects here.

Well, I'm just hoping I can tell the GoldDusts apart from the Ultra Caramels. I think I have some of each from last year, but I'm not really sure at all. There are some differences in individuals but not more then what I would consider as normal for just run of the mill variation in a clutch.

Heck for that matter, I should try to get a photo of these two Caramel Stripe adults I have. You all wouldn't believe the difference between them. Like night and day. The male is almost as light as a Butter Stripe, with dark eyes. And there has NEVER been any trace of hypo in any of the animals in this project. I can't wait to start getting GoldDust Stripes and Ultra Caramel Stripes to further muddy that water..... :shrugs:
 
Actually I'm not really sure that Amber Stripes are worth pursuing. Some of my Caramel Stripes look bright enough to give any Amber Stripe a run for their money, I think. I've seen this lightening effect in some of the Caramel Motleys as well. The unfortunate thing is that ALL of the babies look identical when hatched, and only some of them apparently get much lighter with maturity. There is probably a magic key somewhere, but I'm just not sure I am willing to put in the effort needed to find it.

And another wrinkle put a damper on my enthusiasm for working towards an Amber Stripe line. I think GoldDust Stripes will blow them out of the water anyway, so why bother?

Another project that I think would be worth pursuing (if you have LOTS of time and room for a lot of animals to allocate for this one project) would be Sunkissed/Amber Stripes. The double hypo effect combined with Amber and Stripe would probably produce some awesome looking animals. But if you want to start this project, think carefully on how best to proceed with it. Don't count on your luck to mess with quad hets. Even getting to that point will take you some time.....
