This strain took me two years to develop. This was done through a number of crosses. This strain gets very large and has a 90-95% body pattern when they mature. One thing that really makes these Solid Snakeskins so nice is that most of their stomach area will have the snakeskin pattern when they mature. This line does not have the peduncle full of a blue color and it is full of snakeskin pattern unlike other solid snakeskin’s you see on the show bench today. This line has done very well for me and I am letting them go so that others can enjoy them and keep the Solid Snakeskin class alive.

Prepaid waiting list of 2 months for Solid Snakeskins!
$50.00 Per Trio
After creating this line of Solid Snakeskins and breeding it for six years I have decided to discontinue it. I have given it some hard taught and I will continue to feed out some of my snakeskin strains in order to make more room for my other current strains. I have already discontinued my Rainbow Snakeskins and a few lines of my Green Lace Variegated Snakeskins. This strain has been a pleasure to work with but it no longer strikes my eye like it has in the past. With that said I will be taking prepaid orders for them. I will only put 8 trios on my waiting list. Once it is full that is it. It is not very likely that I will have more than 8 trio available so if you want them I would recommend that you get on my prepaid waiting list before it is full.

The Variegated Snakeskin color strain is my favorite. I have been working with this strain for 6 years. My original Variegated Snakeskins came from Jim Heller (not to be confused with Jeff Hiller), Bill Orth and a few other outside sources. I have since then made a number of crosses to create my own winning lines.They are more of a green lace than the yellow lace that they show up as in the photo. They are very slow growing with medium to large bodies. This is the line I use most for showing. This line also throws albino yellow lace snakeskins once every 3 to 4 generations or any time you make a cross. This line has done very well for me over the years and I now have the most points in the History of the IFGA in the Variegated Snakeskin and Snakeskin veil class. This is the strain that I am known for.
This line was new to our fish room 3 years ago. It was a line that we started to fade out over the past 6 months. We had planes on discontinuing it but after so many requests for them we decided to save them even though we where down to our very last tank. We have done a number of crosses to get these to IFGA show quality although we find this strain very hard to keep at show quality. This is not our primary line we use for showing but it is a line we have shown in the past. We feel that it may be related to the old yellow cobra lines that where common from the late 60's to the 80's. The main difference between what they where then and what they are today is that they no longer have the Zebrinous bars, which gave the word cobra to name. They now have a Rosetta pattern, which is a nice feature. All snakeskin breeders admire the Rosetta pattern. These would be shown in the Variegated Snakeskin class.
