Matching Morphs

Oregonherpaholic Aug 22, 2006 09:29 PM

Hello, I have a pretty little Milksnake phase thayeri male and I would like to get a female for him. Should I match his morph or pick a different phase?? Since there is no way to tell what phase will hatch out, does it matter?? I really like the leoni phase..but... do I match the male I have or just get one of each and have 2 pair of variables???

Get whatever you like. Like you say, if you breed them you're likely to produce milk snake and leonis phases. Sometimes you'll get all one phase.

Where are you in Oregon? I just moved to Medford in June.

I didn't learn of the Medford show until after it happened. Too bad, I wanted to do some buying/selling.

bred the MSP morphs to leonis. It seems to me that the MSP's usually have brighter colors so some of that is passed on to the babies. My experience is that when you bred leonis to leonis you get more leonis and when you bred MSP to MSP you get more MSP's.
