Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

I got SPAMMED with that garbage too. I'm surprised anyone would pay it any attention considering anyone who must resort to SPAM is not worth a second of my time nor anyone elses.

Second clutch from "Silver ghost" laid today with "Chicago girl". Just as a curiosity this girl had probed 6 and 7 scales on each side. She was almost culled from the collection until I decided to try the ultimate sexing, put the animal with a male! It works!
Regards.

Here are the eggs! The moist perlite is actually under the mesh. This technique has given me invariably good results.

Just want to go back a few post again lol !
The Spider is Dominant and not co-dom. There is no difference between the het form and the homo form (super).
Markus Jayne in Canada got that little baby
It's a Super Pastel Pewter.
I hope he doesn't mind that I post picture
A side with a pewter pastel

Don't know if any one saw Ralph Davis website, but he is having clutch from Double Het Lavender Albino Piebald.
So he have 1/16 of chance to hit it. He did the samething last year but didn'T get it. Now he have more clutch, hope he get it .

Good thinking breeding your two tone to other morphs first

(emphasis added)
We used the same reasoning when we bred our Bullseye (reproducable) to Pastels. The Bullseye trait appears to be dominant but in itself is not all that flashy. It makes the Pastels look great though. A Bullseye to Bullseye cross increases the white, but still is not a knock out snake on it's own. They are useful for making other morphs prettier.
The bullseye white spot is not unheard of. Our original female just happened to pass it on to 100% of her offspring clutch after clutch. Now we have bred it into a Graziani Pastel and it makes the Pastel hold it's color better and increases the white and yellow.

So how about a bunch of "I told you so credits" for me now that the pastel pied has hatched? C'mon. I told you guys the pied was just a simple recessive like others and that combo morphs would happen. A friend of mine may have albino pieds this season.

Remember that we were mainly talking about recessive (such as albino pieds) and not co-dominant traits. These might still manifest themselves in the non-white portion of the pied. Who produced it? One way or the other it will be one of those instances where one feels great satisfaction by being proved wrong!

Just wanted to give a thumbs up to the logic.
As far as the albino pieds, we will be trying to produce some also; but, there is some theory behind why it would not work. The piebaldism is dependant upon the interferance of pre-melanin substances not being trasfered through mast cells to the skin (you genetisists please correct any errors). If the amelanistic trait removes the ability to produce melanin there would be no melanin to transfer to the island sections of the piebald and no pre-melanin substances to be interfered with as far as migration to the skin. So it might not happen as one might think that there would be albino islands on a white snake. Until we see one, we don't know. We will be trying ourselves knowing it may cancel the piebaldism. This is just my .02 playing devils advocate. Those far more informed would have better arguments than I for either side. We are giving it a shot. We think decades down the road though. If it works than you would want to be on the front side. If it doesn't, we have other projects like most people that are going to take a few generations to see what is possible. The offspring would not be worthless if it did not prove out. Perhaps the two are incompatable but the two traits may show up side by side in the same clutch, just not together on the same animal. We didn't get to see such outstanding animals that we have seen over the last 5 years unless someone took the risks. I applaud the risk takers.
