i've not seen one of these until today(well i say seen i just saw the label and had to leave as the youngest was moaning!) how common are they and how much would you expect to pay for a mid 09 hatchling?

no, i think they are at reptile Cymru, cardiff rep had a bad reputation but either they changed hands or got their act togeather. i can't fault them |

i asked where they got them from and they said they bred them themselves. its the cardiff reptile center, i get my mice from there so go in fairly regularly and have a look at the corns and to my knowledge they've never mis represented a morph. snows are snow etc others hets labeled and are in good health and at fair prices. chat to the senior staff and seem to know what they are talking about. we'll see what it develops into and have our answer :) |

definetly a shop bargain - does the shop have a good reputation, and do they usually label other morphs correctly (e.g. not labelling snows as albino etc etc)? |

ok, the shop has 2 hatchlings in labeled kastanie, i had them out and as far as i can tell they are the real deal (with browns like the one on ians viv) £45 each. if its a good deal i'm going to take one and satisfy my curiosity! |

or if Aura picks up and is all healthy in 4years time then i might be able to get myself another butter het stripe or something and maybe get butter stripes 
fingers crossed i'll have some butter stripes next year (hint hint!!! )
will remember that!
this is all based though on aura safely reaching the right sizes but id love another butter sometime |

thanks for the input. i'm looking at getting some form of stripe in the near future see what this hatchlings appear this year :) |

it all depends on what you mean by 'hot tips'. If you mean whats the next big thing then you'll be looking at spending thousands on breeding stock for the latest greatest morph combinations 
For a good starting point, I'd recommend looking through the morph guides and find something you like the look of and take it from there. Morphs that include stripe or diffused are still doing well, and sunkissed and lava combinations are becoming more readily available too. |

i guess "normal" isn't really doing it justice(not that theres anything wrong with "normal" lol) i'm still a little intrigued by it tbh whats a fair price for an 09 in your opinion. planning on doing some breeding in 3 years when the boys start full time school. starting to plan my stock. any advice on morphs to look out for. i have a female type A anery who'll be ready in 3yrs and and male and female amel which are ready to start now but i'm going to make stack etc before i start them so planning long term really. looking to pick up another half dozen over the next year or so. whats your hot tips lol :) |

the nearest you'd get to that would be a really good example of miami.
i think kastanie is going to be one of those morphs that will be more popular in combinations, although i'd hardly call it 'normal' looking :D
i've seen a photo of a 'suspected' lavender kastanie hatchling and it looks awesome, definetly one to keep an eye on :) |

wow, thats a really stunning snake! it's almost a shame it'll look progressivly more like a normal. i like the chestnut and silver stage. there isn't a morph with those colours is there? |

no doubt some people over here will have kastanies available, you may just have got lucky and found that someone :)
They do look remarkably like anerys to start out before maturing into the brown colouring, even the eyes have been noticed to change colour. Its also been noticed that males colour up more than the females.
for a good exaple of the changes theres a progression here: http://iansvivarium.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=3881 (sorry if this breaks rules!  ) |

strange that they "have " one then. as i said i didn't actually see the snake just the label on the tub.....if i'm passing i'll investigate more and ask where its from. i was just curious as it was a morph i'd not seen sold before. the pic on IV looks like an anery so the shop might be trying to pull a fast one lol |
