Hi guys,

First off our Genetic Stripes are NOT from a different line of Genetic Stripe. Actually they are the ORIGINAL bloodline that Bob Clark imported. This project was sold to Tracy Barker and then to Ralph Davis. In 2002 I purchased a pair of 100% Het Genetic Stripes from Ralph Davis and produced everything I have to date with that same Het pair. I've only outcrossed to select normals over the years.

There is a possibility that we may have introduced a modifier gene somewhere along the line. Since G Stripes are so robust and such fast growers we are now going on our 3rd generation of Stripes since I purchased the Hets from Ralph. I seriously doubt that temperature has had ANY effect on the pattern of this morph since I've hatched them at many different temps with the same result.

We have been breeding for even more aberrant patterned G Stripes since 2004. Years ago, Celia nicknamed the stripes "Cryptic" just for a lack of a better verbal description. We have NEVER listed these as a new morph nor do we believe that they are. These animals will be no different than any other selectively bred morph in the future.

No offense to anyone at all... I just wanted to clear the air on our position on these Genetic Stripes.

Take care...
