I know crosses are frowned upon here but these are really cool! Not to mention Goini and Easterns do intergrade in nature. The Amelanistic component is less likely to occur naturally... but isn't that the FUN in "Captive Breeding!"

I picked up this project from Scott Knotts and to be honest it was a spur of the moment decision to get these... i had 3.2 of them.... one male ended up passing i GAVE AWAY 1.1 and bred the 1.1 i kept this season.

Female drop 19... yes 19 good eggs... they all hatched out (with the exception of one i slit too early... because i got the dates mixed up)

I ended up with 5 Albinos (3.2) and a clutch full of "variants!"
I'll post pix of the others in this clutch once i get the time... in the mean time, here's my favorite from the clutch.

Amelanistic Striped/Aberrant Goini x Eastern Female:

I've likely to keep this project going... but i think breeding it into my Blaze Phase X Flame hypo Project will give killer results!

That looks like a red eye T neg albino. Which between the goini and eastern did that come from?

Im Guessing the Eastern ....Is there an Amel from Apalachacola?I Doubt it!!!

The Amel gene came from an Eastern king male...

I dislike hy brids, but like some of the natural integrades. And that bottom one from your project? Killer.

Well thank you for your compliment! Means more when they come from people that dislike man-made crosses!

Well, I don't consider the ones that occur naturally to be man made. Although, I question the concept and definition of species, given how viable certain hybrids have been shown to be in the herp world that even can go cross genus(ball/woma, ball/carpet, bull/corn...the list is long!). It sure throws the old high school bio class definition out the window!

Zenny Remember these, you were one . i recall correctly you liked them , i am happy you produced them..good on ya"I sill have the Female and a het from her the similarity is close! Thanks Chris

I sure do... i was in love with those when i saw them the very 1st time... what ever happened to them??

they were goini x cal king right??

lets just say the male didnt make it,which spoils any near out come,but she bred to a Goini , and only hold back wsa girl , so she will be a hybino cross next year

np

The assumtion that the albino gene was from Cali. just that, an assumtion that it came from Cal king.I impulse bought them at a small show and were labeled albino blotched,and the jobber didnt have much info. L8r C
