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.

White sided Rat Snake mix?
I have a White Sided Black Rat Snake and will be getting White Sided Yellow Rat Snakes. What would the outcome of their offspring be? Would there be mix of yellow and black whited-sided or would it blend the colors? Is the white sided trait Co-Dominate and would show in all offspring if there was only one white sided parent?
Thanks for the Help.

The two will produce "mutt" white-sided offspring that will later be confused and very misidentified with either one later on down the road. I would strongly suggest that you stick with breeding the same subspecies to each other and not mixing the two.
The white-sided gene is a recessive trait.

yeah and I am pretty sure that white sided yellows are an intergrade between a normal yellow rat and a white-sided black rat then breeding those together to express the recessive white-sided trait and still being at least part yellow rat. I have been working with some black rats and black rat subspecies for a few years now and done some stuff with things like bubblegum's and my cousin just got a white-sided yellow and it was from the offspring of a yellow and a white sided black rat. and so basically you will get white sided snakes that are mostly black rat but with just a bit of yellow and they should be pretty cool I myself like crosses as long as they are well defined so have fun hope this helps
