I think I've just been lucky so far. My buddy says I just have the touch when it comes to snakes. He's had some of the meanest snakes I've ever seen and I can reach right in and pick them up without even a strike. Matter fact that's how I got a couple of my snakes he got tired of getting bit by them and just gave them to me.

Re: Rainbow Babies!!!

Mom is probably around six feet long...pretty normal for an adult female. Males stay a bit smaller at five feet.

Re: Rainbow Babies!!!

Gorgeous babies!

Question from a non-breeder... What do you expect your babies to be color wise? For example, will they be a mixture of what the parents are, or will they be "regular" color and "het for"...??

Sorry, I only know a little lingo from sugar gliders, and don't understand the science behind breeding for color

Re: Rainbow Babies!!!

Thank you, JellyBean! I expect this to be a high orange litter. With normals, the babies usually fall around the average of their parents in a bell curve; there are no real "hets." Let me know if that does not make sense!

Re: Rainbow Babies!!!

It makes little sense to me... Is there a breeding chart that says "put a high orange with a tiger stripe and they will only produce XY orZ"??

With morphs, yeah, you can reliably create that morph. With high color breedings, it's polygenic. You breed two colorful animals together to get more colorful animals. Some will be average, some about the same as the parents, and some brighter than the parents, but all are normals. The more you breed colorful animals together (measured in generations), the more likely you are to get colorful offspring.

If you want an example of what you're talking about, you breed a hypo (hypo brbs are an orange color with no red or black) to a normal, you will get all normals het for hypo. Those hets can then make more hypos when bred to another het or a visual hypo.
