Platinum reticulated pythons are one of the most impressive color morphs to date!  These silver, black & yellow snakes are boldly patterned & only get better with age.  Hatchlings exhibit rich yellow lateral pigmentation, and the dorsal pattern is often a light yellow or tan.  This color quickly changes to a bright silver tone as the snake grows.  The pattern is bordered with jet black scales and contrasting white flecks.  Platinum retics often posses reduced postocular stripes, as well as a bold black line running down the center of the head. Platinums make awesome combos when crossed to the Tiger trait, and also add some extra bling to our Jungle retic project.  To top it off, this co-dominant trait is the heterozygous form of the stunning Ivory reticulated python.  It's hard to beat a morph with this much potential & stunning good looks rolled into one big package!
