Two of our 2013 Leucistic Gray-banded Kingsnakes (Lampropeltis alterna).  The orange one in the center is the one I feature every few months to show the changing of his orange “blush” of color.  Not nearly as colorful as their nominate form, leucistic mutants of this species are none-the-less rare in our hobby.

2013 Leucistic and Visual-Het Leucistic Gray-banded Kingsnakes (Lampropeltis alterna).  As detailed in previous SOTD and daily SMR FaceBook features, this Visual Het Grayband demonstrates a Hypo-esque look that is common in snakes that are het for the gene mutation, Leucism.  In fact, the inheritance of most Leucistic serpents is dominant to wild-type (not recessive) and therefore most F1 out-crossed progeny (hets) have a pale hypomelanistic phenotype similar to this Gray-banded King. Aside from the inherent value of the pattern-less and color-less Leucistic Alterna, the visual-hets are stand-alone beautiful morphs.    . . .

This 2012 Mystery Lavender female corn is now 39″ long, eating frozen/thawed adult mice.  She is so-called “mystery” by Rich Hume who believes this line of Lavenders to be something more than just Lavender, but breeding trials thus far have not yet identified “what” more they could be?  We confess they do have some color peculiarities.   She brumated from Nov. 20, 2014, to March 23, 2015.  Her $285.00 price includes    $OLD

This 2013 female Buf is 36″ long, eating frozen/thawed hopper mice.   The inherent value of Buf mutants is that their mutation is dominant to wild-type, so no waiting two generations to reproduce this mutation.  She was brumated from November 20, 2014, to March 10, 2015, so she will be receptive to a male very soon.  Her $295.00 price includes   includes FREE OVERNIGHT SHIPPING
