Here's my striped male het albino. His pattern is so abberrant that it's hard to phenotypically tell what he is. He was sold to me as sinalaoe, but I think he has more nelsoni characteristics. He's very cool and will be fun to work with!

Sweet collection of nelsoni/sinaloae you have Kanga. So many possibilities with that group of animals. I really like that T plus. As far as I know, and maybe Shannon will chime in. The t-plus gene is on the same alelle as the amelanistic gene.

So if you breed a t-plus to an albino you get 50/50 split amelanistic and t-plus. I hope I am correct on that, I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong though....

I am with Cole on seeing pics of the W/C, can't wait....LOL

Hey Jimmy,
Thanks for the reply. I know all about the 50/50 T pos / albino outcome, but I need to know about breeding the T pos to something non-albino/amel. It's an interesting gene. The T pos nelsoni reminds me a lot of the Sentz line hypo pyro. Will get you guys pics and info on that wc as soon as humanly possible.

Oh I'm sorry, I missed read your question below. If I remember correctly I had this discussion with Shannon, and he said if bred to a het amel some of the offspring came out amel and some came out t plus. Now I can't remember if bred to a normal if all the hatchlings were db het for t plus and amel or not. I think he had mention this spring someone was breeding the db hets together, and we should have an answer. Like I said I can't remember but if I can find the email before anyone chimes in I will post it.

charlton,

here's my female splotched. i was planning on posting some pics of her in a thread further down, but my camera broke the same day she shed. so i'm breaking my new camera in with some pics of my splotched - ms. bitey.

Hi Brian, she beautiful! If she's too "bitey" send her on over.

Real Nice Brian, I just wish they kept the all black head, most of the splotches I see are mottled with black,red,white and pink like yours. The dorsal pattern is real nice though!!!
