Cape Baja / San Lucan Gopher Snakes

(Pituophis catenifer vertebralis)

 

Another one of my favorite pits.  This has got be one of the nicest looking albino morphs around.  Absolutely beautiful colors in the albinos (white-pink-yellow-orange), and even the normal colored hets show tons of red and yellow.  This is also still a hard to find snake but yet reasonable in price.  They have come way down in price though.  I have been outcrossing the albino gene with unrelated females to create healthy hets with new blood in them and better colors.  I am very happy with the bright colored hets and can't wait to see the albinos they all produce.

 

An aberrant Albino and normals that hatched out here a few years ago, I hope it proves genetic!

Here he is below as a sub-adult...hopefully up to breeding size now!

 

 

 

 

Normal patterned albino male I produced several years that I used to outcross for my new hets.

 

 

Original albino male pictured below who was used to produce male above.

 

 

Normal unrelated female that has some nice reduced black and reduced pattern throughout it's body until the tail region.  Very pretty female that  made some killer hets over the last few years!

 

Hets from normal female above and original albino male above.  These guys have a lot of red and orange on them with reduced black...great examples of Cape Baja Gophers with added bonus of being het albino!
