Those are pretty incredible! I talked to a guy this weekend at the Manassas show who had some of Norm Dam's stripes. He "said" he had a couple clutches hatch but no stripes. Are yours from that line? I guess it's kind of like breeding a 66% chance something and hoping for the best!Good Luck!

Make sure you keep us posted on what you or you've heard of being produced. I really like the first pair of Hypo Tristripes, they look very clean too!

Hi Thomas,
Those are great aberrant photos. I hatched out one tangerine Honduran aberrant this year that is nearly all black, one full ring and just a few long tear drop shapes.
Pretty fun stuff.

I've known Norm Damm for many years and have seen some of the excellent aberrant Hondurans he has produced over the years. I know several breeders working with these snakes and it does not appear that these aberrancies can be reproduced in a predictable manner (such as a simply recessive genetic trait).

It seems that in some snakes, like the oreo Pueblans and aberrant Hondurans, we're still trying to find out how to selectively reproduce patterns.
