Hi Mike

hey the weather is overcast and cool today, but has been real nice the last few weeks.



The patternless gene that your theyeri is showing is kind of dominant, the clear belly is key, if it was still a patternd belly or speckled you would more than likely just have an abberancy going on. the gene pulls the pattern to the top, its a bit like the cornsnake motley gene ,it will also clean the colours and reduces black.

this gene works in the 1st generation, so you could put a patternless/spotted or whatever you want to call them to a normal and get some patternless/spotted young. some are more extreme than others,ie the pattern can be pulled into dots along the back or very small circles and nothing along the sides.



Mike, definatly breed those young back to the parents, you will get some crackers hatch out.



the pictures below, the 1st one is almost the same as yours accept for colour, the 2nd pic shows a diffent one with spots along the top , you can see the belly pattern pulled to the sides as dots.

cheers.
