OK, me again. Been doing a lot of ciphering on what to try.
I will try some blood reds I know, and ketenes. I just like those 2, so lets look else where.

I've trying to find something a bit different, I tend to more color over, I'll call them the "gray scales". I was never much into angry and the other GS, but I see, there is a wide variety people have been breeding. Lots of cool genetic hookups.

But I like color, I like lavas, seem hard to find, I like crimsons, harvests, and fluorescent oranges. Calicos too.

Also I seem to have missed how the striped versions came about? I presume then the vanishings? Also how to produce a corn flavor in striped form that has not been done yet.

Has to be a long process to breed it in, and select the variants you want w/strips?

I must say, in the last week, I have learned that snake breeders of morphs are a patient bunch. I'm use to breeding rats. It took me 1.5 years to make caps, and I thought that was long. Also did a selected breeding to leusistic (phenotype). Not a true genetic mutation, but a white rat with black eyes was cool. But they tend to be weak, like true hairless rats.

Thanks for any help in anyway.

This was my first corn. I had no idea what it was when i took it from the shop (I help and olf friend). I later would it to be a cool find as a bloodred. This weeks reading, I might add hypo to it? She was a lighter red.

Your post was hard to read and confusing, but I did catch the question on how stripes are made...

It's pretty simple, actually. Stripe is a recessive trait and can be combined into morphs using the same methodology as amel, anery, lavender, or any other of the recessive traits.

The lone exception is Motley. The current thinking is that Motley and Stripe sit on the same genetic locus and that Motley is dominant to Stripe. So, if your snake is het motley and het stripe, the phenotypical appearance is that of a Motley.

Not all stripes are fully striped (sometimes the striping is broken), and I'm unclear what causes vanishing stripes at the moment. There's also the cubed appearance which can show up in stripes from motley lines.

But for all pairings not involving motley, you can just treat it as a simple recessive gene and do your breeding normally.

Thanks, I just found a nice definition that matches yours. I like when that happens.

Yea I was going to add vanishing into that question, but I know this guy, and he does them. So I'll just bug him.

Sorry to be confusing. I'm looking for something not everyone else is doing. I guess may be hard with corns. But I just listed a few morphs I like by looks, and maybe someone might tell me something new going on. Like making Miami's yellow, or plaid lol.

I'm still researching what is what with corns. I have a fair grasp, and I did understand all your post.

Funny I was never really a big corn person, but add in the genetics, well, that got me at least a little hooked.

thanks again
