Here are a few pics as promised of an adult Bullseye. I will also post a few babies to compare the color change. Thanks for all the feedback it was appreciated.

What makes a bullseye a bullseye?

Here is a pic of an offsrping from one of my males (the males pic is a little old).

SPJ01,

It is reproducable. A Bullseye will produce Bullseyes. A bullseye mark (roundish white patch)is not rare. A few white flames are not rare. The Bullseye will produce offspring who all have these traits. The pattern and color mutation occurs only on the sides of the animal. The dorsal pattern and color are not affected. We have a description of the morph on our website along with a few more pics. The pics can be enlarged by clicking on them. One is of a Bullseye Pastel (Bullseye x Graziani Pastel) which shows lines drawn to the markers.

Your snake produced a nice looking offspring. Do you still have them?

Yes. But unfortunately the best of the clutch was a male. He is the one I still have. The one in the photo.
Not all the offspring show the same thing. Some look like dad, others are more extreme than dad like this one (one thing is those that take after dad have brighter colors - sorta pastelish - and a coral wash on the sides when born) still others look normal.
I would love to see what happens if he was bred to a female offspring or a true female bullseye.
