Generally, the number of body rings is fairly consistent within a particular geographic area, suggesting genetic control of the number of rings. I have seen 2 animals found within a few meters of each other with a similar anomaly in the pattern (joining of two body rings at middorsum), again suggesting genetic control of the ring pattern. In general, breeding two animals of the same species from the same locality with similar number of rings should result in offsprings with similar number of body rings.
