Genetics questions especially for honduran afficionados out there ?

Conserving_herps Dec 16, 2004 09:09 PM

Pic attached is my anerytheristic definite het for hypo honduran milksnake yearling and she has a bold and vivid spot marking on her back. My set of questions are:

1) Has anyone proven that this spot marking is a recessive gene?

2) Is this only found on anerys or can they be found on hypos or ghost as well? (Meaning, are there others out there with spots that are on hypos and on ghosts, if so, can you guys post it or send a pic to me)?

3) Does anyone have info on how spots have come about over the last 5 or 10 years?

Thanks a lot!

I have several hondurans with those perfect spots.I have a couple normals,hypos and some anerys as well.
I haven't yet been able to determine if its genetic but I am working on it.

Is that snake a male? I know it would make all the morphs even moreso dramatic but even as is that snake is just killer. I am keeping my fingers crossed for you bro[even though you owe me a shirt! LOL ] Tom Stevens
