Couldn't have said it better David. Quite Simply : BASASS :smt023

[PadraigC]

i think I just imagined it at twenty feet and wet myself at the same time.......... BEAUHTIFUL

[David Bellis]

C'mon Kara I see you're on here posting. Where'd they come from? How many were there? How many limbs are you asking for in a trade?? :D

[KLG]

No comment. ;) And they're not available for trade.

[meltingfetus]

havent seen anything like it. what is it. they are awesome.

[Beardo]

Somebody spilled bleach on those poor retics' heads!!! :smt004

[Ian]

Absolutely gorgeous!

[Steve_Ray]

Wow, they're incredible.

[Outback Bill]

What will NERD have next? A better security system,even though Kev and a baseball bat is preety formidable, a flat bank account and more work and stress for you Andy. Now if I can just get that spy satillite to go back to the mid west. :smt005

Ummmmmmm.....

BOUNCED CHECKS!!!!!!
C'mon I'm FRIGGEN BROKE!!!!

[Hawkeman]

Somebody spilled bleach on those poor retics' heads!!!


EXACTLY what I was thinking!!! I vote for the names Clorox and Purex! :)

Those are the craziest retics I've seen in a long darn time! EXCELLENT!

Tom

[JonT]

boohoo Kev!
think potential...
golden child now this....
who would want a 4' white snake with black/blue eyes that is afraid of its own shadow when they could have 20' one that is afraid of nothing....
Congrats!

[CrazyCodyKadunk]

i'll trade u everything on my desk right now for one of them. i got a pair of used socks, a m&ms rapper and 2 zip lock bags.
now thats a deal u cant pass up.
those are some amazing retics

[EvilMorphgod]

Let me guess Tammy.... those are different color morphs of axowhatos......

I can say this about those animals.....

They should TURN PURE WHITE...... The bellies are pure white...they have the single layer of pigment that a ball python morph that we know starts out with. As those ball pythons grow they turn classic white.

They have red pupils........

I AM STUNNED ON HOW NICE THEY ARE....

The big snake world needed this......Retics needed this!!
It is nice to see some cool retic morphs popping out.

Albinos, albino tigers, albino super tigers, amelanistic,
Golden Childs( I really need to name them), TITANIUM!!!!!! (strong like BULL kind of name)
genetic stripe, calico stuff, anthrax - granite back stuff, flame stuff-calico, weirdo dwarf stuff, striped weird dwarf stuff. Some weird stuff that we have and have yet to give them names...bateaters and whatever may come from them....JUNGLES!!!(hard one to do!!)

Maybe as the smoke clears I will try to name a few of these things.... Of course there will be some real gay names like the cotton candy retics and starbright saphire flame retic.....unless I can think of names better. Just need to find something that sticks besides naming things the "golden child"...that depicts how we were stunned by the morph and regarded it as a bit magical. Daddy is really the "Golden Child". That morph needs a name!!

Imagine if we produce something new this year....having to name it.....that really stinks...I have a back up on needed names....life is just too HARD!!!

Back to the new ones...... we have to feed them up and get some sheds out of them....I hope I don't eat my words...... they will turn white!!!!!! The body base color is just stark white with the layer of pigment starting on the head and on the back...as it goes down the sides it starts to diminish back to white!!

It is very exciting to have such a new unique thing like these. For ages we have been waiting for the giant white snake with black(or blue) eyes...I really thought the burmese would get do it. Hard to imagine all of the burms out there and we don't have a white one(not talking calico). Retics have been slow to offer us different morphs, the Tiger was major!! The problem there was when the Tigers first hit no one really got the retic thing....it was kind of a sleeper for a time. Then it got better with the Super Tigers...real dramatic as far as a morph!! Then came the albino...... Bob took a chance and got the male...rough beginnings with an adult wild collected animal... they can be weird!! He did it, he bred it and made the hets and now we have a KILLER ALBINO retic morph that is very hard to beat. I did not expect these new ones to turn up in a retic..... but, there were many people breeding ball pythons that did not expect to hatch out white little gems like they did.
It seems as if more people are getting into retics, the more interesting retics, the more people want to keep them. Look at the whole dwarf retic craze..... minature giants..... Bob and his cage cleaner mike ;) did some cool stuff with them!!!

Golden children, Titanium patternless whatever that thing is and some cool white snakes will really help push things forward...

Now we just need a bit of TIME!!

My ramble is over - Kev

The albinos are just gorgeous as they are, I think albino retics are the BEST of any albino out there.

[EvilMorphgod]

boohoo Kev!

Yeah.... I like that ...afraid of nothing.....

I actually have some big whimps..they do not know they are 20'

Thanks - Kev

[jay mc]

They are fecking awsome :smt023 :smt023

[Ryan77]

If the tiger and super tiger basically started the retic morph craze then all this new "stuff" ought to kick it into overdrive! :smt023 Great pics of some stunning snakes, gives me goose bumps just thinking about it. :smt118 :grin:

[CJinNH]

Hey Kara have you named that yet???

[KLG]

Hey Kara have you named that yet???

LOL...nah...that's up to Kev. ;)

[B Ott]

WOW!! This is GREAT!! Congrats NERD! Can you divulge any info on the history of these two?? Wild caught?? Do you have siblings?? Way to go!!

[Reticulatus]

.... Bob and his cage cleaner mike.

Hey Kev,
Didn't you get the press release way up there in NH? I have been promoted from cage cleaner to floor mopper. I no longer have to touch snake s**t. I am hoping that if I work hard I can get promoted to rats and then ultimately to EvilMorphGod.

Mike Wilbanks
Constrictors Unlimited and (Bob's new floor mopper)

[KLG]

Just for clarification...

No, we don't think Mike is Bob's cage cleaner. The above joke stemmed from a prior conversation between Andy & Mike & was all in good fun, certainly not intended as any slam on Mike, and obviously there was an error in judgement in thinking it wouldn't be misconstrued.

We think Mike is an accomplished herper & certainly don't want anyone to get the wrong impression. Guess we forget that not everyone is on the same page sometimes & that tone doesn't always get conveyed correctly on the web, and we apologize for any misunderstanding this might have caused.

Now back to our regularly scheduled (drama free) programming... :? :?

[The Cleaner]

Imagine them 20 feet? I can't even imagine them at 2 feet! Mind boggling to say the least :smt023

[earthpig23]

your guy's stomachs must never get a rest..how many ulcers from excitement and stress do you guys get a year? :toothy7:

[Jim]

Spectabulous!

[KLG]

your guy's stomachs must never get a rest..how many ulcers from excitement and stress do you guys get a year? :toothy7:

Doh! Excitement & stress! And here I was thinking it was the peppermint latte's with triple espresso shots.

No ulcers yet....but blood pressure's a bitch sometimes!

K~

[gbo]

totally awesome!!!!!!!

will be saving up for that 1

[Outback Bill]

Mike we love you here at NERD we just think you need to move east and hang out with us NERD trolls. :smt004

[CrazyCodyKadunk]

can i take a stab and say that these wonder ful retics came out of calico X axanthic breeding project of some kind???? just trying to figure out this guy could have bin made.

[Outback Bill]

Hey Kev so thats what you get when you breed a fireball to a Golden child. :smt021

WORTHLESS!!

I have no idea...I have never been good at naming my creations...


Scratch that!!!

I can name them whatever I want.... I just need some time to think.....

Been too busy with the little wee ball pythons.... but I am feeling a bit more RETIC as of late...

I have the cool ingredients..now I just need next season to come!!!

Sure you could.

But you'd be wrong. ;)

[Outback Bill]

Kev say that three times real fast and you will get to OZ. :smt016

[rcrowley]

Hmmm, How long do I have to wait before people dump them on the herp society adoptions program? I'll put my name on the first three that come in ...in say ....50 yrs????? J/K

Faces like that could sway me to get a retic...Of course I would have to have my ivory bloods before then...

All joking aside, those snakes really rock.

[gbo]

man thre mre i look at these. the more they look like "beagle tics" just with the colors and patterning. excuse my typing, took a nice hit from a 10 ft super and cant navigate the keyboard too well. imagine the door thes have opened to the retic world. let the breedings begin. now i gotta make the drive!

[Outback Bill]

Follow, follow, folow the yellow brick road. :smt005

[huff747]

Wow, those are crazy! Make sure to keep us all updated with pics as they grow.

Chris

[Amelia]

I just can't wait to find out what made those, they look amazing, too many retics to get...and not enough cash to get them all at once...or at least faster.

[JonT]

GOLDENBLITZKREIG
that sounds similar to something someone else would have said....
I know the rules of internet combat...first to mention the "h" word loses!
but c'mon Kev you are begging the question here....
:smt005

kev


I like the sounds of that idea Kevin !!! I can't wait either ...

[ChrisGilbert]

I am still trying to figure out how you guys continuously produce new morphs of everything, awesome Kevin.

[dubs]

those are ridicuolus what produced those???? :smt025

[Outback Bill]

They are produced in the secret bunker that houses Evil Morph Gods Lab. :smt005

[Sherry Howell]

That is truly awesome! Way to go you guys!!

[Alias47]

Absolutely beautiful...



I just shed a tear...

[worldsocold]

I saw these pic's first on the KS forum and thought wow LUCY's but then i looked at there eyes and took more time out on there head, and now I know its not that, but no matter what it is and how it was made we will all know soon and we all know that the retics are there and are in the right hands and we will all have our own chances to own them sooner or later.

[KLG]

LOL!! All in due time...

We certainly won't be surprised if these snakes lose the yellow pigmentation as they grow.

K~

[Adam]

did i mention ive held one!!! it was like holding a pot of gold!

:smt005 :smt005

hehehehehehhehehe i feel special

[Alias47]

KLG...is the snake in your avatar the 'famous' red blood python?

[EvilMorphgod]

KLG...is the snake in your avatar the 'famous' red blood python?

That is an albino blood. That is not him - kev

[KLG]

Ok...NOW it's him. ;)

K~

[Alias47]

He is one sweet blood...

Really something else...

[David Bellis]

OK so I'm just a couple dollars shy of the 75k...but do you think I could see the parents anyway? :D

[Outback Bill]

No, unless you have a note signed by President Bush, Cheny, the Pope, and Tony Blair. This is a secret of gobal security. :smt018

[worldsocold]

Ill Give you My soul for it. Is that a good tradE? lol Nice Tic's

[RRusso70]

Absolutly Gorgous ! :smt026

[mantilope5200]

Is it just me or does those two look like they have plans to take over the world in their eyes?

[Swe-Boids]

WOW...

Thats an amazing morph!

When will they be availible?

Are they dominant, co- dominant or recessive?


Dennis

[jglass38]

Unbielievable!!

Co dom

[gail]

I've been meaning to get here to see these beauties .... no time for forums lately .... :smt009

They are so cool .... what sweet faces ... :love10: :smt007

Congratulations NERD .... what a great addition to the new facility ... :headbang:

:smt023 :smt023 :smt023

[KLG]

if i were to book in to come and have a look around could i see the parents please? Granted it would cost me a couple of hundred for flights but it would be cheaper than buying in blind (or atleast pretending i was going to)
Dan

Sure you could see them...we just might not point out exactly who they are. There are a LOT of retics here. ;)

K~

[Anonymous]

LOL

[JonnyK]

Wow Luesistic(sp?) Retics! :smt025

[Detoured4now]

Kara,

Amazing creatures! How long has that project been underway?

Keep it up!

Chad S

[HkWagner]

I am not a Retic Fan but I have to say that those rock. Are they Lucy's are something different. Good luck with them Kev! I know that Andy rocks when it comes to Retics so I am sure we will see more of them soon.

Brock Wagner :biggrin:

[1staburmthenaconda]

Simply unbelievable...That's a masterpice both of human breeding effort and of the incredible genetic potential of retics :nrolleye:

[vstroh]

This is just absolutly amazing. I cannot wait to find out who their parents are and see them after their first shed.

[Atlas511]

I cant imagine that thing at 20 ft

[bones]

who did you guys get those from
:shocked: and how old are they

[KLG]

Eric, we got these from an overseas contact. Not sure on exact DOB, but with the way Andy feeds them, they're sure not tiny! You should come up and see them in person - pics do them no justice. :D

k~

[bones]

and could you change my user name to bones please it hard to keep track on all the forums

[KLG]

Done! :)

[bones]

oh and the reason i didnt write back from yahoo is that i cant check it from work it 's blocked and im always busy at home more so than at work :dance:

[bones]

thanks for the name change
by the way im the guy with the dwarf yellowhead with the great pattern and awesome coloration.it had a bump that turned out to be yolk
:dance:

[bones]

ive been in several times

[KLG]

Glad to hear the bump is doing better. That was a gorgeous retic - you should post some pics of it! Hope it turns out tiny! :D Would be very cool to see a new dwarf retic locale.

[bones]

the pics are coming soon
he has grown 6 inches in the last month right after i switched him to rats
and if he does turn out to be small ill be looking for a breeder
i sure they would turn out a nice profit 8) :lol: 8)

[B Ott]

Any chance of seeing pictures of the hets yet??? :biggrin2: 8) :roll:

[daiyoukai]

Any chance of seeing pictures of the hets yet??? :biggrin2: 8) :roll:

Yeah, I wanna see picture's of the happy parents. Some how I doubt they will be posted (just seems secritive). BUT is the reason because some of us have prob already seen these "odd" looking hets just never knew if they were genetic or not and trying to keep the "formula" to your self? Iv read around that this is how alot of buisness work in the pet trade, if you have something keep it to your self till it's time to sell. I could be wrong but I realy would liek to see how these hets look. Because like fire balls, They dont look THAT much different then normal balls, But in the past if people knew what they made then more people could get tabs on imports and such. Any similarities in this situation Im presenting and the one with the retics? I mean, it makes ALOT of sense from a buisness point of view but from from the other it's just selfish.

[KLG]

Ok...then we're just selfish.

:077: :077: :077: :077:

[bones]

huh who's selfish :eh:

[Beamooplah]

Hahaha :clap:

[Lance]

I've been so caught up with their strange coloration that I just noticed how strange their eyes are.

[JacobK]

these retics are amazing, i wonder what the price tag on these are going to be $30K or more? Simply amazing snakes

[Python]

What is the morph called :biggrin2:

[KLG]

We've been calling them "Ivory" retics for awhile now. :)
