Re: Calling all snake breeders...
I failed to mention: I'm maybe a few dozen pages into "Genetics for Herpers" (Thank you whomever referred me.) Any other reading anyone recommends?

Re: Calling all snake breeders...
No, the market is not at its lowest in winter that is usually when it is at its highest because everyone wants instant breeders and there is nothing on the market then. Wait until it is smack dab in the middle of hatching season and then BUY BUY BUY! Oh ya and it has been proven that it will take at least 1,000 years for california to become an island and you could live up north because that will stay attached!

Re: Calling all snake breeders...
Ok, another question for you breeding enthusiasts / genetics experts. Does it make more sense to add a male who has the overall color I want to integrate (Orange!), or would you chose a male with a dorsal stripe? This particular animal has pretty striping, but apparently has a brothers who is crazy striped!
I thought I'd read something about physical traits not being proven I think, so does that mean the striped male's offspring may NOT be striped at all, even though we know at least one litrermate is striped?
I'm not yet comfortable with codom traits, which I think is what this would be.
Can anyone clarify for me, please?

Re: Calling all snake breeders...
Ok, I will try so just because one littermate is striped does NOT mean his babies will be. It is possible but not a guarantee. Personally, I would chose the striped male but at the same time buy an orange male (baby) and then once a striped female grows up ten cross the orange into her then line breed for a couple of years till you get what you want.
You could also look for an orange striped male and do it that way or you could buy an orange male then and a striped female and once an orange male s big enough breed it t the striped female. Hope this makes sense to you!

Re: Calling all snake breeders...
Nice, Beards. I also just learned from rainbowsrus that dorsal striping is not proven, which I believe is the exact point you just made.
And with that, I am happy officially announce I have reserved an amazing orange baby male from rainbowsrus himself. Great deal and incredible parents (The snake I mean. Although I'm sure Dave's P's are pretty cool too.). He's from the Abby x Fred pairing. I'd post pics, but I didn't ask his permission. Oh, I didn't ask my wife's permission either. Shhhhhh......

In MOST cases, dorsal striping is not genetic and will not pass on to the offspring. There are exceptions and as those lines are worked with their will be dorsal stripes available.

I think I have a better chance of that happening with box in hand! I also think I'm gonna be in a bit of trouble.

She is aware of my lack of memory, so that may work!

Probably when weather permits. Unfortunately, in Chicagoland, that means quite a while. I'll be sending payment this week.

You live in Chicago? I love that city. I go there at least once a year.
