This 2010 Female Neon Motley Snow is now 23″ long and eating frozen/thawed, large fuzzy mice. She has superior green and pink coloration that will deepen with maturity. Since I have never had one this deeply colored, I have no idea how she will look as an adult, but all such compount mutants dramatically saturate colors with maturity. Of course, she is homozygous for Snow (Amel & Anery), Motley, and Strawberry (aka: Red Mask Gene), in addition to the selectively bred polygenic trait modifications from the Neon line, originated by Stephen Wagner from selective variants of Lloyd Lemke’s Bubblegum Snows.
