Hello everyone! I just wanted to share some pics of what I have decided is a new morph. I have spoke with several of the well known breeders in the industry, and so far, nobody has much of an idea of what this snake is. Suggestions have been...orange ghost, ultramel, crider albino, caramel, etc...I have held this snake up to several of these morphs, and the difference is night and day. I'm not here to make waves or upset people by claiming this is a new morph, but I have done my research and have bred the snakes out. This new Morph, the Monarch Ball is simple recessive. I have posted pics on here before, of the first clutch that I produced, and also the second. If you have any ideas, comments, or can point me in any direction, please do.
Here is the Monarch story......I purchased two very ugly pastel from my step-sisters boyfriends friend back in late 1999. The snakes barely ate over the course of 10 years, but finally came around in 2009. I bred the two pastel together and produced what I am now calling a pastel monarch, and a pastel monarch genetic stripe. There were only two good eggs in the clutch. The babies were very strange and certainly did not look like pastels, or even supers, which is what I expected. One baby looked like a genetic stripe, but very light in color, while the other baby was just amazing….neither had any black. Their colors where orange yellow and the black, or lack thereof, was a deep purple color. It seemed as though the ugly pastels were double hets......het for the new gene, Monarch, and also Genetic Stripe. How crazy is that! The following year, 2011, I got a 7 egg clutch…..the babies were 2 super pastels, 1 genetic stripe, 1 pastel genetic stripe, 1 super pastel genetic stripe, 1 Monarch, and 1 Monarch Stripe!! This clutch gave me the snake expressing the single Monarch gene. Plus, the other babies will be either 66% poss het for Monarch, or Genetic Stripe. I have since bred the original Pastel Monarch to a normal, a het albino, and a Pastel. All clutches are healthy and I now have a great start on 100% het Monarch. I still need to prove if the Pastel Monarch is het for Genetic Stripe
Please enjoy the pics and I will be happy to answer ANY questions you might have!
First pic is the very first babies I produced from the ugly pastels. I now know that they are a Pastel Monarch, and Pastel Monarch Genetic Stripe. The other two pics show the same snakes two years later. I'm not the best at this computer stuff, but I will post more pics,especially of the single gene Monarch.
Thanks, Rance
