This has been in the works for a while and is another project that isn't without bumps in the road. It is nice to start seeing the results of hard work and lots of patience! This is guy is from my original male perfect stripe Genetic Stripe bred to one of my original female pastels from my first litter in 2001. It pays to go with quality stock and that is why I went with a perfect stripe from Ralph in 2003.

With the Genetic Stripes the quality of the stripe seems to be random, however, from what I've produced I'm running 2/3 perfect stripe and 1/3 broken stripe. The broken stripes are not all that broken, well, atleast not like some of the ones I've seen and still have a good portion of complete stripe.

At any rate I believe this is a perfect stripe Genetic Stripe and the Pastel has slightly messed up the stripe down the back. You will notice that the side pattern is completely patternless and all the broken stripes have banding on the side where the stripe is broken.

Do you think incubation temperature could have an effect on genetic stripe quality? I saw a clutch once where the entire clutch looked different than the genetic stripe parents as far as stripe quality. So I was wondering if while it was variable if it wasn't completely random after all. Maybe incubation temps or something like that could cause the stripe to be more or less perfect.

Randy,

You produce perfect stripes and broken stripes in the same clutch. So, I doubt it is incubation temps.

Corey

Maybe at the optimal temperature you get some of each. But for some unexplained reason the clutch I mentioned from two nice stripes where ALL very heavily side patterned. Sure it could have been just bad luck but seems like something else might be contributing for the whole clutch to look so different from the parents. Just wondering if others have seen this and had thoughts as to what might cause it.

that is a very cool snake. You have some really nice projects coming together this year and should be very proud.
