Crossed a thornscrub rat, Pantherophis (Elaphe) emoryi meahllmorum, with a Miami corn, Pantherophis (Elaphe) guttatus guttatus. The thornscrub female was a reverse-striped from Duval Co, TX, stock. The Miami male was possible hypo (at least het.)
Here's one of the eight offspring...


The babies are possibly het for hypo. Haven't proven the father to be hypo, yet. I think they make interesting rootbeers, since both parents had a light ground color, the female was largely striped and had some laterally, split blotches, and the male had bright, reddish saddles. The ventrums were interesting too, and the babies are intermediate bt. the two.
Let me know if you have any comments...
