Antaresia freaks

There is confusion with the use of the term "caramel". In the US a "caramel" is the name given generally to a T+ albino. A T+ animal generally has lavender or caramel skin due to tyrosinase pigment being expressed in the mutation.

In the case of Children's pythons in Australia, there is a lot of confusion as we have 2 lines of animals known as "caramels".

We have the T+ caramel's - this means that the mutation is caused by a single recessive gene (a type of albinism) and can be bred true. You will see both T+ and T+ hets for sale.

T+

The other line of caramel "children's pythons" are a line bred or polygenic trait (many genes). This line is produced by selective breeding of the most "caramel" animals.

I want the 'patternless caramel' LOL

T+ caramels are a gorgeous animal. Here is a crappy pic of one of my males.

oh now come on Fay (ha ha) that T+ actually does have a pattern, you can see it faintly there. One thing with the T+ animals is that their pattern is less visible as the pigment on the pattern is masked as well, but it's still there i can assure you. It ends up a purplish colour.

quick check on the girls this morning and had my phone on me. first one is looking promising.

Few pics to keep it rolling ...

 

[Smithers]

Good luck with this yrs breeding OP esp with the maternal incubation, lovely snakes. Is the last a PL Childrens?

Nice bunch there Brett, like that Spotted

 

[dickyknee]

Keep us posted on the maternal girl Stu , it is some thing I'd like to do one day so will be good to get some info ...

 

[Ozzie Python]

smithers- yep she's a PL.

dicky, will do if it works. just putting a foam box in with an entry hole and spag moss in it (maybe even a mix of spag, coir or peat moss and a bit of moist sand on the base of the box). water bowl under the heat lamp and cross my fingers i get high humidity and don't dry them out.

she's got plenty of condition on her to do maternal incubation as i rested her last year planning to give it a try so hopefully all goes well.

Question about the T+ albinos. Is there much variation in colour and pattern?

one of my girls, don't ask what the gemstone is, i have no idea , .. its one of my mums.
(i think it would look good with a jag draped over it, but thats just me.)

Jay84: this is a pic of 3 generations of T+. as you can see there are quite a different colour hue to them. They are become more opaque with each generation. The dark one is a T+ het (ghost). The offspring this coming season will be interesting.
