Nobody ever said anything about the Stripe on the Hets, that's something that you were trying to go by.. Some of the babies will have a broken Stripe some will not, it's the combination of the Mystery gene AND YB gene that makes the Stripe on the Super Stripe... It's the head, eyes, neck, coloration, AND BELLY that lets you identify the gene .. The mother of my line is a very stand out animal , you said so yourself. I was fortunate and had babies that looked like mom right away so it wasn't hard at all to tell which had the gene the mother was expressing. It will be interesting to see what happens when a Super Stripe is bred back to the Mystery gene or when a pair of Mystery genes are bred together to make the Super form..
Regardless of how this unfolds from here on out, I think you, Brian, Tom and myself have some very rare snakes that are not common to most collections and that we all should be thankful to have the gene instead of who did what first, it really isn't that big of a deal.. The important part is what can be done with each of them from here on out, that's what changes the future , who knows what other things this morph will do to other mutations... I'm tired of going back and forth about a silly name, I have been calling them ALL Super Stripes EVERY since I produced 3 SS's that were Identical to yours so I'm not sure why I'm made out to be the bad guy .. You agreed the Cyclone name was valid in the start as your female mom looked alot diffferent than mine, it wasn't until recently that it was confirmed to be the same thing.. The Mystery gene naming issue isn't worth causing unnecessary stress to any of us , you, Tom, Brian, Joe, Clint, And I ALL know what they look like as we own them , the rest of this is just details the way I see it....
