Hmmm tough call on that one.

In my opinion going back to "common" blood would be great as it may add some size/strength to the line. My only worry with the line is that the parents were both Ihle "k" animals, and may likely be siblings. As such I would think going away from hypo would do wonders for genetic diversity.

On the subject of abberancies, and Im sure everyone has there own opinion there, I think going stripe to stripe may be great, but doesnt really help prove or disprove much of anything. Say the litter comes out half or all striped, what one caused it? Allthough with yourself, Gray, and a few others going at it different ways we may learn more.

Something about that line tells me there is more then just normal hypo abberancies going on. To uniform across the line, and half of each litter just screams something, not sure what but something.

Good luck with her, and by the way the other two you posted are very nice looking snakes also.
