Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I just learned how to post multiple pics so I figured I'd come here and use this new skill to share some animals with you..

The pics below show some rather interesting looking Applegate Splotched line animals I produced in 04'. Many hatched out almost perfectly banded with very nice pied/clown heads and tails which is a defining characteristic of the Applegate Line. I have hatched out many splotched/striped sinaloans over the years, all have had a sort of speckled out belly.These are different , they have pure white, well defined almost transparent bellies and in most of them the black and yellow on the sides is connected turning the red bands into saddles. I do have a few animals that are splotched and show the belly trait as well. I plan on next year breeding them back to one another to see what happens. Maybe this is a precursor to another trait?
Wouldn't it be something if I get a pure white sinaloan like the ball pythons etc..

Normal Splotched Belly


Splotched Male with odd belly

Nice looking snake regardless.
