to other locality stock. I looked at the Oklahoma reptile laws and bullsnakes aren't protected or illegal to collect. You can have up to 6 bullsnakes. You do need a breeder permit to breed. I would try and pick up an Oklahoma locale bullsnake. Take a Colorado or Montana bullsnake and breed to the stillwater and you might get some great looking hypo bullsnakes as you mentioned. You can call them TonyD hypo bullsnakes so we know which hypo bloodline they are.
>>Terry you bring up a good point about the other strain of hypo and whether it is alelic with the stillwater trait. If not compatable, the two types of hypo bred into a single line could result in confusion down the road. I'd hate to see what happened with albino black rats some years ago happen to hypo bulls. As so many bull morphs are het for something else, its hard to say where it might go. This may sound ironic coming from me but the best route to go on outcrossing the stillwater trait might to to other locality stock or line bred stock. Could you imagine the contrast of the stillwater strain impressed onto bulls from northern locals? It might take a few generations to get there but Wow!

I agree with outcrossing the Stillwater hypo gene . . .> - terryp, Fri Aug 29 10:02:09 2003
