Hey Jeff, Just a few questions for you. Do you know how the hypo came about in the Bell's collection? Did it pop up in a already captive line? Was it out of the amel lineage? Het to het breeding? One more what was the year it first came about?
So the striped aberrations in prairies is just a hit or miss type thing. Out of the last 20 years I am sure breeders have done stripe to stripe breedings and the offspring was normal or mixed with partial striped ones? I guess we can throw that striping in the same classification of the Amealco ruthveni striping, after all these years it still isn't a fully known gene. I know in ruthveni you breed visual stripes together and you get stripes,normals,and super stripes but as far as I know no one has been able to get two supers to reproduce. Temp fluctuations can sure modify patterns and color, so it does make sense that it could be that and nothing else.
I guess the project of making striped hypos' may be harder than I thought. It'll sure be fun to try though. Thanks for your insight!
