Striped Spotted Pythons prove genetic

Roy Stockwell Jul 06, 2005 11:25 AM

Below : a few pics of recently hatched striped Spotted Pythons proving the trait
to be genetic. The degree of striping varies from one to another
but they look very much like the parents. Further selective breeding should refine and amplify the dorsal stripe trait.

Very neat, looks like carpet python patterning somewhat.

Hmmm, I wonder what striped granites would look like (if it is possible to have those two traits in one individual.)

Very nice! I've never seen the striped ones before. Were all of those babies from the same litter?

Mine just hatched and only 6 out of 9 eggs hatched (2 were bad from the get go).
