"While I am not saying that your observations are wrong, I am saying that there is an explanation that can be tested with carefully planned breeding experiments, and what you will see is the variation you see for the Eiseni "locality" is regulated by the independent expression of several genes OR different mutations within the same gene. The fact that several of these traits are commonly found in the same snake, and locality suggests that this cluster of genes (or multiple mutations within a gene) are often inherited together. "

"However the fact that they can also be isolated from eachother clearly shows that they are independent mutations/phenoypes."

I agree 100% with your points here. I support the idea that in this case there could be different mutations within the same gene. This whole time I've been trying to say that there is sooooo much more here going on.

I would be very interested to see how some of your own experimentation turn out. Although, I think it would be very hard for you to come up with any definite conclusions with such a small sample size. Do you have any wild caught animals? If the animals in your collection where captive bred then your data would be incomplete without a control.

Thanks!!
Bobby
