Black RHD woma

[rodney]

About 4 or 5 sheds ago this snake looked like a normal woma and then after shed went a bit peppered looking, since then she has been replacing the reddish colour with black. Photo doesn't show it but it is more a blue black colour. The change in colour is still progressing she is healthy and normal in every other way. I have not seen this before wondering if anybody else has.

Dave from Pilbara Pythons found a woma that was almost black once. There is a thread on the forum about it somwhere. Interesting little fella.

Nice! Are you going to breed it? I like the thin orange band down its neck

 

[Jarden]

Very interesting there rodney

 

[Bryce]

That is a brilliant animal, congrats

There were photos a year or so ago of a Bredl with similar speckling black/lavender. Great job on the photos. It would be interesting to see if it's a heritable trait, but will be at least a few years before you can tell.

I LOVE freaky/different looking animals even if they do look ugly to some, NOT that this guy does, but its not your "classic" RHD and I have never seen one like that. LOL
Looking forward to seeing its progression.... Good Luck, I think your lucky to have an oddity like that!

 

[Jarden]

I also agree with Scott, I love seeing all these different colour/patterns that are starting to be produced here in Australia.

Thanks everybody he has turned to the dark side, I think in the next few years we will see a lot of new morphs appearing.he may or may not be one of them time will tell he is about 14 months old now so not that long to wait

Its a fader woma. Theres one down here in vic.It begins to change at around 2 years. The front will get lighter and the back will get darker in colour. At about 4 years the animal becomes dark almost black at the back and purpleish at the front.

Sorry mate, only got pics of fader bredli from a guy down here and a few pics of fader burmese and fader retics from overseas websites.

The woma ive seen is alot older and there for alot darker at the back. The pattern has become alot more distorted (completely speckled almost), particularly at the front.
