Splotch Python

[Hickson]

Some knob is advertising (Petlink) an albino splotch python, 12 week old female, for $8500.

Is this some weird morph i haven't heard of?

It's not April First.

It might very well be Hixy, and has thus called it a Splotch python!! hehehe I do believe you need to appoint it a good scientific name just to keep it all above board

 

[Hickson]

Scientific name?

How about Hoserisabig splotchii

I like it!!! With a name like that, who wouldn't cough up over 8.5k for an albino Splotchie

knob....top word that. I wondered about that ad. and how many had seen it. It has nice red eyes and i guess the guy selling has red eyes too.

didnt you guys read the posts around christmas, one of the more respected members hinted about the birth of a new albino this season, and was just leaving the hint ... this snake cant be hidden for ever!

Hix, i dont own the snake. Someone will look like a knob in this thread either way, but if that add is by the right person it may well be you. (nothing personal)

True or false, Splotch python, I think I know who the knob will be/is.Its not like the keys are next to each other on the keyboard is it now.
$8500. Could be very cheap if it is true though.

Am I missing something here? Is there a new breed of snake around? I am not on petlink very often so know nothing of this "respected member" or his/her posts.
I am actually very serious, what is a "splotch python"????

I don't remember those posts. And if I'm the knob - so be it. Won't be the first time.

I'll ask again, what is it? Some morph I haven't heard of?

Or, like PJ64 is suggesting, an albino Darwin x Diamond?

:?

[africancichlidau]

That's albino darwin X REAL diamond hixy

 

[peterjohnson64]

Thats right phil. I only like black albinos!!!!! None of this High white crap!!!

 

[Hickson]

Huh?

Albino Darwin x real Diamond produces 100% hets. If he has albinos, he's crossed 'em back to one of the parents or a sibling.

can someone post the pic to enlighten us all?

 

[Hickson]

There is no photo on the ad. And he needs more practice with his spelling.

"white an red markings red eyes" - technically not albino, probably amelanistic, but if the red is from phaeomelanins, then not even amelanistic. Axanthic, maybe.

thanks Hix, i'll just have to use my imagination now :shock: - oh my head hurts :twisted:

I dug up the old thread to find out who this post was written by, and it was not by one of the more respected members, it was by MH... in the piets albino BHP thread.

They may mean a Blotched Python aka Maccy. I have heard of a mac refered to as this ..... many many years ago. I also heard of an albino but it was a childreni not a splotchi :mrgreen:

 

[shanesaussie_pythons]

Hi all I think it may be the guy that bred the albino small blotched python.But it has a small kink just before the vent.If so I think hes aiming a bit high.It was bred out of a related pair of 5th generation siblings.I could be wrong regards SHANE

That's right Hixy! Don't take a backward step!! hehe If Hixy is okay about being a knob....then so am I!!!

I guess these days, even a Cavoodle & a Snoodle is considered as a specific breed of dog. However going back only 5yrs ago it was classified simply as a mongrel! :lol:
