Nice patternless gophers there Jason. Did that take alot of work to get to that point or did it start with animals that were partially patternless?

I finally got some sonoran gopher eggs to go full term and hatch this year. Just counted and ended up with 6 albinos and 3 hets. Since these came from snakes that were definite hets for blizzard what does this make their offspring.....poss hets at best? They are really cool looking albinos.....but I didn't get the blizzard I was hoping for.

Hi Russ
Congrats on the Sonorans. Wow no Ghost or Blizzards, you'll get some next time I'm sure.

I didn't start this project. I a got mine from Mark Miller who got them from a guy at Boise State, I think he is a professor at the university, Hes not a breeder but he caught the orignal Patternless in Tooele Co Utah about 10 years ago. From what I heard it was 100% patternless WC animal. The bummer is that he didn't keep the morph locality, all the offspring are nonlocality. If I knew the guy I would encourage him to breed with a animal from the same locality. I dont even think he has breed the orignal the last couple years.

Take care
