Posted by: hermanbronsgeest at Fri Jan 21 09:11:18 2005 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by hermanbronsgeest ] The leucistic Black Ratsnake was first created in captivity by breeding Rusty to Rusty. Rusty Black Ratsnakes are a natural variant which occurs in the wild, albeit rarely. Rusty Black Ratsnakes turned out to be heterozygous for leucism, it's rusty coloration seems to be the codominant expression of the leucistic gene in heterozygous animals. Since Texas Ratsnakes heterozygous for leucism are not known to display rusty colors, it's not very likely that leucistic Black Ratsnakes and leucistic Texas Ratsnakes were derived from the same strain. Therefore if a leucistic Black Ratsnake would be bred to a leucistic Texas Ratsnake, who knows what will happen? Has anyone tried this before? | ||
