The fisrt striped Anaconda was produced in 2007 and is a common trait for the Anaconda.

Breeding an Anaconda to other pattern morphs is not suggested for two reasons

1.Why try and change the best and the ONLY true (CO Dom) PROVEN pattern morph ever produced in Hognose.

2. Trying to influence the anaconda pattern by using other pattern morphs(line Traits) could lead to confusion in determining a true anaconda,the end result would be producing animals that DONT carry the anaconda trait and no Super form would be produced

Thanks for your suppert

sometimes good color comes with pattern.so could you give a list of what will and wont go with the conda.its the only one?till next year!

The only thing Anacondas are missing is color.Just breed anacondas to all the color morphs such as Pinks,Yellows,Oranges,or a Silvers(Anery)and you will produce some of the most insane cutting edge Hognose in the world.

spider is the only pattern morph,other than conda that comes to mind.
what else would not possibly mix well?

I do not see how any unproven pattern morph will do anything good for the conda morph...

Hey Brent, how common is the dorsal stripe in condas???

Beautiful conda my friend..

The stripe in the anaconda trait is not uncommon at all,I produced a small group of them last year and hope to produce the first fully striped anaconda in 2010.

Thanks for your support

Brent, I am starting to realize you do not post enough pics bro... LOL... Your condas are beautiful...
Thanks for the pics and good luck with your stripes!!!

The spider is a proven dom trait at this time,and yes i would breed an anaconda to a spider just to see if the two would create something new.But breeding a proven co dom or a dom trait to a line trait is not a good idea and not needed.Line traits are unpredictable and cant be considered a proven trait.

Brent, One thing I want to say is that line bred traits can be very predictable... I dont think line bred traits should not be bred into condas... I mean, red hogs are linebred... When line bred traits are strengthened by breeding them out, over time they start to act dominant and even recessive in some cases...

I do not think the mode of inheritance would disqualify a color or pattern as a morph... In fact, if it can be passed down genetically with some frequency and it differs from wild types, it is a morph... What would disqualify one would be a pattern or color anomaly due to incubation temps or fluctuation of temps...

Hog morphs are still in their infancy compared to other snake species... The linebred morphs are still somewhat new and not as strong as they can potentially be...

Gregg,

As for breeding Anacondas to pattern line traits,Im not saying it cant be done to try and improve the Anaconda trait,but what I dont suggest is breeding a pattern line trait to an Anaconda for the simple reason that it will cause confusion on whether or not the offspring carry the anaconda trait.I need to know 110% if they carry the Anaconda trait and there will be a super form.
