Is the reverse stripe also a recessive trait?
pairing up a regular stripe and reverse stripe.. would it give you a mixture of the two??

Ive seen some really nice BCC reverse stripers, if anyone cares so share some outstanding BCI reverses, that would be great. Also who is working with these animals?

Webpage readings would also be great, if there is any on the reversers

I think it can work in many ways but haven't seen it been proven yet, other than from Jeff Ronne's Pearlescent Boas. In that case, they seem to be codominant, atleast.

Other than that, i've seen them come out of normals and stripers.
I've never heard of the results of a striper bred to a reverse striper.

I have some adult females I am hoping to breed this year. I can't post pics because I don't use a photo hosting site, nor this one provided here. I barely have the time to take my own photos.

Regarding BCC, i've seen lots and lots of them lately showing these traits. I haven't seen any bred together and proven yet, although i'm sure they are out there.

If you breed a reverse striper to an unrelated animal (I speak mostly of BCI unless otherwise stated) you can almost be sure to get aberrants, and maybe stripers and reverse stripers, but not enough to call it codominant.
I also don't believe people have raised and bred these back to each other to prove them recessive or not.

Chances are, someone out there knows more facts about this.

I hope this one breeds very soon.

Nice to have a pic of her when she was younger... I always wondered what she looked like back then.

I'll try to get some good recent pics.. my main pc is down and the new one doesn't have much on it.

If you have that one I sent you with Darrin, please post them - they'd be nice to see.

but what about the gold girl with the big reverse stripe?

If you have those, feel free..

Thanks Justin, speak with you again soon.. Joe

I bought this guy about a month ago, I guess the whole litter had the reverse stripe but Im not sure as I have only seen pictures of 2 of his siblings adn the both have the reverse stripe. No idea if it is genetic but I have a good feling it is. He may be ready to breed next year so I will breed him to a normal BCC. I also have a striped female I would like to breed with him but she has a few years to go still.

I've seen this guy, and many members of this line. I owned a pair of males from this group as well a while back. They were no where near as nice as yours, but they were from the same lineage as well. The breeder himself is somewhat of a myth, but you can contact John Wadell for information. gecko2@bellsouth.net is the email I have for him, hopefully it's still up to date.

I've come to understand that the trait is genetic in the sense that the pastel trait is. It's selectivley bred, and potent when mixed with outside animals, but it is not a co-dom or simple recessive trait.

Hopefully my information is accurate, here are some other people I know that have, or have owned in the past animals from the reverse stripe group...

That's all I can think of off the top of my head, try tracking them down for more info.

Is there a different term for a boa with a reverse stripe limited to the tail? I have a boa with a tail much like the one pictured, except she has reduced saddling too.

I dont own any BCC so I have not really paid much attention to them, other than the "oooo" "ahhhhh" now and then. But I myself am just now wanting to get some Reverse BCI's - the tail stripe.

Sorry but i really dont know much about the genetics of the reverse stripes

The Reverse stripe can come from to cool of temps for the Prego female so I would caution you if you go to buy them to buy from someone that you know is strait up and not someone trying to make a quick buck. I Produced a Reverse Stripe Colombian that was almost complete Reverse about 3 years ago but it died this year for no reason so I guess we will never know.
Joe has some out of the same clutch so hopefully he will be able to prove it genetic this year. Cross your fingers.

I sold this snake 3yrs ago and it died this year in the hands of the other keeper.

These snakes where AWSOME and this color is not all of it. I could not get all of the color to show up in the pics but you get the idea.

This one is alive and well for a fact I hope it proves out this year or next
