Ghosts and coral snow corns - huge post - lots of pics

The photos Invictus posted last week of the corns he had for sale prompted me to grab a few shots of some related ones I got from Mark Isbell last summer.

The ghosts seem to have so much personality - very curious snakes - almost never in their hides any more. The snows are more reclusive. These are from two different females - those from 'Little girl' show a lot more pink than those from 'Beauty', though all the snows are developing nice coral coloration (coral snows are those that are homozygous for hypo gene).

Beautiful snakes, Mary! I love the ghosts.

Looking good Mary! Hopefully the 49 eggs incubating from Lil Girl & Beauty so far hatch out a bunch more like them this year. I too like that last Snow the best. Between you & Ken posting Lil Girl & Beauty will soon be ssnakess celebs LOL Mark
P.S. I also have a third Ghost female this year that also clutched

Mark your snows are kick butt!!! I think I may have to get one.

These really are some nice corns Mark. Good luck with all the eggs from these girls this year.

Katt - if you want the pinker coral snows get Mark to save you some from the ghost X ghost clutches - those are the coral snows. A lot of the depth of pink coloration seems to depend on the type of hypo involved, so these are not as pink as some being produced in the states, but they are still quite nice.

I really like the last little girl too - she was a non-feeder that Mark threw in with my group and it took her a while to start, but she is caught up with the rest now. She has some really nice split saddles and is growing up to be a little pig.

Super nice babies Mary!

Mark works with incredible adult specimens, and that's why his babies always turn out to be such screamers. I'll be going broke on his clutches this year after I've purchased the other snakes I'm after (which prompted the sale of the 2003's... I'm very sad to see them go, but sometimes opportunities knock and you have to make sacrifices.)

So some Dummy gave you that last Snow? DOH! LOL Glad to hear that she turned around for you feeding & turned out so nice. Just goes to show that problem feeders are worth the time & effort required to get them started, good things come to those who wait eh. Mark
