Hi,
this year I had the first chance to breed my leopard thayeri male back to the mommys!
Here he is:
The first clutch started to hatch out and here are a few results.
I think I can call this a genetic trait.

Great job! Forgive me if I'm wrong, but could it be a co-dom trait. (eg. if you bred the male to a different normal female and some came out as Leopards?)Perhaps like the spider trait in ball pythons. Or did you do this already? Again forgive me if I'm wrong.

Most pattern anomolies with colubrids are cases of incomplete dominance. If you bred a striped x normal there would be some anomolous patterns neither normal nor fully striped. But what Gerrit has done breeding his male back to mom(if I have that correct)is to "assuming het". While this will certainly increase the likelihood and quality of the anomaly, I think its too early still to assume that its a recessive gene. Which I think is what he was trying to do. If it were recessive you would have to breed the normals together. If both parents were of that pattern and all babies should be like that if genetic. Very interesting regardless.
Hi,
I doubt it is simple recessive since I bred the original male (normal pattern) to two completely unrelated females (normal pattern) and got leopards from all clutches. So I think it must be from this male:
Here is last years result.
I think it is just an incomplete dominant trait since teh degree of the anomalies has a bunch of variation as you can see in last years clutch.
