Great Basins are an awesome albeit under-appreciated member of the gopher clan and these are exceptional examples!

Makes perfect sense. Eye appeal is a very subjective and variable thing. You have brought forth the GB gopher in a vast array of pattern and color combinations second to none that I know of. I just happen to be a big fan of GB gophers since the one that I have is very special to me for a number of reasons.

You know I like them. Do you know how this gene is working yet?

Hi Tony
I have more info now. I think it is a recessive gene but I may need to do a little work with them to be 100% sure. When I breed Blonde to Blonde, I get 100% Blonde.
Now 3 years ago I bred a Blonde to a ugly normal. The results where pretty nice looking offspring but not Blondes. So this year I bred het Blonde? to het Blonde?. I got 4 eggs. Results 2 are defiantly Blonde and 2 are normals, and nice looking normals. Like I said I think its recessive but I think need then more 4 eggs to base a more accurate answer.

Those are beautiful. Great Basins are one of my favorite Gophers. I need to get a pair. Is that a line-bred trait or a simple recessive? I'm not real big on morphs, but whatever it is I like it.
