another picture...

last one, I promise!

I love those guys, especially the zig zag. It makes me want to put my charcoal and snow together. I bet I wouldnt get one of those. lol What do you consider the amel? a motley or motley stripe. She looks a lot like my little Hillary. Shes not an amel but the pattern is very simular.

I'm working on some pattern breeding projects so I really need to be clear about the motley-stripe genes.

Doesn't the name motley-stripe mean that both genes are present in the same animal, therefore expressed since they are co-dominant? And can't the genes express themselves as anything from the full thicker motley stripe to just partial striping? Of course I am assuming the full stripe is the desired affect but wouldn't you call anything with both genes a motley-stripe?

Thanks to anyone who can clear this up for me.

Hey Anna. I think you have got it figured out. Both the motley gene and stripe gene are both present in the same snake. You could get a variety of looks, but they will always be motley stripe. You'll never get a complete motley, or a complete stripe. I'm sure a lot of people don't like the motley stripe combination. My wife thinks my little Angus is the ugliest snake we have. I personnaly think its pretty cool.

Those are cool! I love them. Esp the grey one. Is that an anery or a ghost?

I'm pretty sure it's just a simple charcoal aztec kinda snake. The mom was anery B with a little yellow in her, the dad was a snow, but this baby has absolutely no yellow in her.

They are very nice!!
How old are they!?

1 ? stripped amel

The came from my last year's clutch, so just under a year old. Healthy little guys too. After they moved in, which can be kinda stressful, they ate two pinkies each, like the little champs they are. I just love the striking contrast of these two, plus they have really cool patterns.

So they are one year old and you still feed them pinkies?!?!

Yes, only cause they were free pinkies and they were stressed from the move. normally they eat fuzzies.
