According to molecular data, the common kingsnake, L. getulus, evolved from a tricolor, namely L. triangulum. Your picture clearly shows how easily that can be done.

I like it! I thought I would try to line breed annulata into an animal with little or no red. Also animals with little or no black. I wonder how long it takes?

Do you mean line breeding an annulata into one of these Lake Chapala arcifera or into another annulata?

I know there are people on both sides of the fence on this subject. But personally I don't like crossing breeding beyond naturally occuring integrades. I don't see anything positive coming from it. So I ment with another annulata. Thanks.
