I thought rootbeer was an intergrade of emoryiXgutata (usually about 75% emoryi)?

rev...
honestly, i dislike the fact that there are so many corn phases for just this reason...its a little unclear.

Rootbeer phase (as i know it), is a guttata X emoryi....Im not sure what percentage, but looking at one, you can definitely see the emoryi in it.

heres the confusing part.....the father is a rootbeer corn and the mother a normal. I was told that rootbeer color acts like a simple recessive gene after the cross. I agree, this doesnt make much sense, but someone that has bred them in the past had told me this. I have never bred the rootbeer before, so i cant agree or disagree, Im just going by what he told me.

Therefore, if thats true, these would be hets for that color phase.

Like I said, i dont know, if anyone knows this, please let me know...

thanks for pointing that out

Well I don't know about their genotype, but their phenotype sure looks nice!
Congrats,

My head is way too full of useless information to try to absorb all the ramifications of corn & rat genetics, so I'll just admire and offer my congrats, no matter what the phase of those adorable babies turns out to be.


I can't wait to see pics of the entire hatchlings once emerged. Plus more pics to follow as their colors develop and change after a few sheds.
