that carries a hypo gene? A couple of the morph bloodlines carry a hypo gene. I don't see anything wrong with breeding the male to a Stillwater hypo. I don't know if the Stillwater hypo gene and the hypo gene in the morph bulls are allelic. Breed them if you want to produce morphs. If you want to strengthen the bloodline, try and get a normal Stillwater bull or an Oklahoma bullsnake. I'm not sure if the Stillwaters were actually collected in Stillwater city limits or if it was the closest town to call out for locality. If the founding breeders were rescued from a rattlesnake roundup, they may have been collected somewhere in the roundup limits. Not questioning the locality, just didn't know if they were actually collected in Stillwater city limits. Breed your axanthic male to her when he gets old enough.



>>I might be picking up a female stillwater hypo bull. I truly love these snakes, they are as beautiful as anything out there.

>>Now, a question for you guys!

>>Is it wrong to pump my male albino whitesided into her???

>>First, let me say a few things.

>>

>>I believe that it is essential that we keep animals from this bloodline PURE and keep a pure well documented pedegree.

>>

>>With that said, there is way to small of a bloodline to continue inbreeding these animals generation after generation.

>>

>>And, if you are going to outcross it and loss the locale status, why not make some cool morphs!

>>

>>Also, let me say that all offspring would CLEARLY be sold as non-locale animals.

>>

>>What do you guys think? I am all for locale animals, I LOVE them, but when the pool of blood becomes too small you need to bring in something else.

>>

>>Serious and honest opinions will be appreciated!
