Normal Stripe Genetics?

Ecko May 20, 2009 09:13 PM

What do you breed together to get a Normal Striped? I'm just curious about the little guy/girl I got at the pet store yesterday. Thanks.

The striped pattern is a simple recessive trait, like amelanism. If you have a normal stripe that is not het. for anything, and breed it to any morph that isnt striped or het striped, you will get all normals, double het. for stripe and whatever simple recessive trait (if any) the other snake is.

Hope this info helps.

well, you would have to breed hets for stripe together or two normal stripes (or even a het stripe to a stripe). Basically both parents have to carry the stripe gene. The stripe is the only genetic part of it. Normal is like the "default". Everything has "normal" in it.
