"My understanding is the, Mosaic, dot-dash, highway, ect are all derivatives from the newport and abberant phases found in san diego."



The mosaic definitely comes from the Newport morph found in Orange Co. and Los Angeles Co. I believe that is a co dominate trait from the results I've had from breeding them.



The dot-dash and highway are aberrant forms of the San Diego striped king found in SD and Riverside Counties. Those seem to work a little different than Newports from what I have heard.



One thing about a lot of Cal king morphs, is they are a mixture of the Newport and the SD striped morph, so who knows what kind of weird things can happen when breeding them. The striped gene is weird, it's like co dominant and recessive at the same time. Only thing is hets are not a for sure thing. Hubbs told me if you breed two bandeds together from an area that has SD striped kings, its possible you will get some striped.
