I posted this earlier but had no responses...

Every normal BP that I have come across in my limited experience with snakes has been a combination of two patterns. I have two males who display uniformity in their patterns and I have yet to find a normal that compares to these guys. These two guys fascinate me.

***PLEASE REFER TO THE 'SUPER NORMALS' THREAD POSTED EARLIER IN THE WEEK***

I have been hard pressed to find good information on whether the patterns presented are genetic, dominant or recessive. I can only find info on the designer morphs.

Does anyone have experience with normal patterns of such and how they result in breeding?

Has anyone come across such pattern uniformity (in normals) before? (Not interested in morphs)

Does anyone have a female that looks similar to either one?

Do these guys potentially hold any breeding value, in terms of genetically improving CB Normal breeding stocks? (Forget monetary value)

Basically I am trying to establish whether pattern uniformity, like these two shown, is common or rare in BPs and whether these guys could be of any genetic value to the breeding society at large.

I am just a small time hobbyist with a big time curiousity.

I keep my animals only as pets and am to much of a small timer to almost even consider breeding.

Thanks for the knowledge guys.

More to come soon...
