Hi Jeremy,

First,let me say that is a beautiful snake.

I was wondering if you could explain the genetics behind the Arabesque morph? I believe it is a co-dom trait, but I was hoping you could shed some more light on the subject. Are Arabesques related to the circleback trait? I had a really nice female circleback that produced two litters for me. In the first litter, I got close to 50% circlebacks with one that really looks Arabesque, which I kept. In her second litter I didn't get a single circleback at all which had me scratching my head as to whether she was genetic or not. Sadly, I lost her after this years litter so I now only have her one Arabesque looking baby to work with.

Any info would be greatly appreciated. I posted a pic I took of her last year, my digi cam and my picture taking ability weren't the best so she looks kind of shiny and you can't see all of her pattern. I'll try to get a new pic of the baby I posted as soon as I can.

Thanks,
Rick S.
