RE: Bloodred Influence in Corns?

It is nice to read this and learn a bit about the history of the bloodred corn. herpsltd, I don't know who you are but thanks for shedding some light on this.

I'm also wondering how long it would take to get nice bloodreds from outcrosses.

I have one female bloodred in my collection and she is one of my best breeders. I have been crossing her with a different male every year trying to work with the bloodred genetics.

2 yrs ago I bred her to a 'normal' male...don't know what if anything is hidden in his genotype.

Last year I bred her to my male snow het hypo.

This year I bred her to a butter motley.

Next year I'm going to breed her to a striped motley.

No matter what I breed her to the hatchlings come out the same. At first they look like normals but they have a higher red pigmentation as they mature and many look like someone took an eraser down the lengths of their bellies leaving behind just a bit of pattern along the sides of the bellies. Although the babies from this year look to be the reddest I have seen yet.

I have kept some babies every year and will breed them together in an attempt to produce bloodreds and some of the bloodred designer morphs....what is the chance of success??

Thanks. This is a very interesting thread.
