General Description
This snake has some very unusual "calico" or "piebald" markings on his belly, one small white spot and one large orange and white blotch. I have planned to breed this snake and test to see if I can get more blotches, or blotches on the dorsal side of the snakes (which would look utterly awesome), but I have been distracted with other projects including the albino Death Adders, and I can't see myself getting around to this project in less than about another three years. I think that's a shame, and I have decided that I would rather someone else was breeding this boy rather than have him sit with me with his potential untested and unrealised for several extra years.
He is a lovely-natured Black Tiger, has been a great feeder since he was a youngster, and he looks great, even ignoring the unusual markings. He has been completely unbanded since birth, I have had him since before his first feed.
I'm asking for offers, but to give you some idea, I know that since the genetics and potential are untested he isn't worth several thousand dollars, so I'm not after an unrealistic figure. I'm keen to see elapid morphs being established, so I'd definitely prefer him to go to someone who was going to put a solid effort into breeding this boy, hanging on to babies, and breeding them to test his genetics. Unfortunately, holding back an entire litter of Tiger Snakes and growing them all up is a bit more than I can commit to personally, at least any time soon. If he doesn't sell I'll find a friend who wants to take him on breeding loan with some arrangement with the offspring.
