Striped Holdback

Rextiles Aug 07, 2009 05:36 AM

This little female came from my male Pink Pastel to a virgin female Blond Phase pairing.

While I've seen better striped specimens from other breeders collections, she's the best one out of my clutch that just randomly appeared. I have a few others from the same clutch that have a stripe here or there, but it's more random than this one and in far less quantity. Another clutch I produced with the same male but a different female has no striped individuals at all, so it must be a genetic trait that my blond female is carrying. It will be interesting if she produces striped hatchlings when paired with different males.

Some better side shots. This snake won't sit still for a second!

Very nice snake indeed, do you think that the banding on hognoses like that is predictable at all or will it just remain as a cool fluke? I have hatched out some with a few stripes but not as nice as some others have.

VERY NICE! One of the best "striped" patterning that i have seen. I have my fingers crossed for it to be genetic.
