I have another question for you Thomas.
Why do F1 and F2 snakes turn out much cleaner, "brighter"
than their founding stock? I have seen this with many species.
Take Lampropeltis triangulum elapsoides for example.
I have allowed them to breed. Are you happy now Frank?
And held back the whole clutch of 1.1 F1s, that are much brighter
than the founding stock. Then "allowed" them to breed, and once again they produced offspring that were much brighter than the founding stock. There is much more than genetics going on here Thomas. Maybe it's incubation temps, maybe UV exposure?
I have observed this for several generations, and others have as well. I'm all ears Thomas?
