Hope to produce some more this year like this.

Beautiful snake Shannon. Do you produce ones like that every year?

Well, The first year the produced 12 babies but there weren't any this extreme.Just alot of broken bands and a few smal;l striped here and there.
The next year I only hatched out 9 but two of them were very aberrant.The best one was full term dead in egg.
I hope this year to produce a couple more.

Very nice Shannon. Here is mine from the Lemke (probably Amaelco) ruthveni line. The father was a proven het and the mom was completly normal. The definate het father basicly looked like a normal except he had a white snout, which is only somewhat out of the ordinary.

I think this mutation is codominant and hets can range from almost normal looking to almost full abberrant. I think the homozygous (or super) will prove to have the full on extreme striping and wash outs like the ones Justin Mitcham has.

It's amazing how these things look when they come out of the pet trade factory, lol

Interesting snakes nonetheless.

I know I am not usually a big fan of morphs but the father was given to me and he was actually wild caught by Lloyd Lemke in the early 80's. If my theory is correct that this is a codominant trait then there are likely quite a few alive in the wild since with codominant inheritance only one parent needs to carry the gene to produce visible traits in the offspring.
