I recall seeing a totally speckled goini kings at HogTown Herps about 20 years aago. Haven't seen real patternless goini since. Is anyone breeding them?

Joe

Lets just say they are rare,and are usually males which makes selective breedtng a challenge. and in reallity ive never seen a compleatly patternless except a pic or 2 they usualy have few blotches almost striped. there are a few guys working on that project hope they chime in ,

Speckled goini kings? I call them patternless, and they are my favorites. I will be breeding patternless to patternless only in an attempt to refine the trait. (also check out the true speckled kings used to make the "whitewalls", those very evenly speckled kings are gorgeous! The Goini are very nice when extremely light and very evenly "patternless", which is not a common thing. I'd like to help do something about that.
Here's some pics of some rather ordinary ones, I hope to produce some better (and a few surprises)

Do the young tend to look considerabley different than the adults? i.e. do they start with patterns?

Joe

Their patterns do not change. It’s like a balloon with something printed on it. As it inflates, you might be able to make out what was there a little bit better. The snake grows and you sometimes can make out later what was really there all along. I’m not so sure they lighten up that much either, the lighter part of each scale just grows as the darker parts of each scale seems smaller, and therefore seems lighter overall.

There's a number of them out there that are better than my most "patternless" and I hope to get some from my breedings next season.

i produced 2 completely patternless, 2 broken striped, one striped, one spotted male and one banded/blotched this season (spotted and blotched may be the only, (females came out aberrant or blotched) i have a thing for extreme colors so i wasn't VERY pleased (but still pleased) with them but they were stunning animals!

that was spoz 2 say spotted and banded males maybe the only 2 non-patternless animals that will not look patternless with age.
