Hi all, This is Clark Tucker. I am the breeder here at Power House Reptiles. I would like to begin this post by giving my apology to anyone who may have thought that I came off as inappropriate or unprofessional in my original post here on the BOI.
Mutation: Washout
Genetics: Dominant (has not been proven co-dominat at this time)
Genetic Markers / Identification Markers: This genetic mutation identifies its self by appearing very light platinum and somewhat translucent at birth which diminishes as the animal matures. This mutation carries a broken or full dorsal stripe with a very light tail stripe. The base colors after color mutation is rather normal with the exception of some very bright whites and yellows in the lower portions of the alien heads, which are very busy patterned in the mid section of the animal. The top of the head of this animal is mohogany in color compared to the brown top of a normal ball pythons head.
Genetic marker is shown in all PHR Washout Mutations.
Examples of Washout Mutation:
Mutation: Pastel Washout
Genetics: Pastel/co-dominant X Washout/dominant possibly co-dominant
Genetic Markers / Identification Markers: This genetic mutation identifies its self by appearing to be a very light Super Pastel at birth that diminishes as the animal matures. This mutation is born with a white head that mutates with age into a light grey to light brown coloration depending on the line of Pastel used. This mutation gives the illusion of a ghostly white stripe that tries to connect the Pastels tail striping to all of the other dorsal stripes and/or spots.

Examples of PHR Washout Mutations:
Mutation: Mojave Washout
Genetics: Mojave/co-dominant X Washout/dominant possibly co-dominant
Genetic Markers / Identification Markers: This genetic mutation identifies its self by washing out the last 2/3rds of the body and by greatly reducing and mutating the patterns of the Mojave gene. This mutation carries a broken to full dorsal stripe regardless of the appearance of the parent Mojave.
Genetic marker is shown in all PHR Washout Mutations.
Example of PHR Washout Mutation:
Mutation: Pastel Calico Washout
Genetics: Pastel/co-dominant X Calico/dominant X Washout/dominant possibly co-dominant
Genetic Markers / Identification Markers: This genetic mutation identifies its self by washing out the last 2/3rds of the body and by greatly reducing and mutating the patterns of the Calico and Pastel genes. This mutation replaces much of the black back of the Calico and replaces it with broken to full dorsal stripe. This dorsal stripe will be yellow but were the Calico and Washout genes converge the stripe may be white.

Example of PHR Washout Mutation:
Mutation: Pastel Mojave Washout
Genetics: Pastel/co-dominant X Mojave/co-dominant X Washout/dominant possibly co-dominant
Genetic Markers / Identification Markers: This genetic mutation identifies its self by washing out the last 2/3rds of the body and by greatly reducing and mutating the patterns of the Mojave and the Pastel gene. This mutation carries a broken to full dorsal stripe regardless of the appearance of the parent Mojave. As with the Mojave Washout mutation the animal carries a nice rich brown upper back color and nice orange coloration in the mid section. With the Pastel gene added this mutation gets more intense blushing that migrates up into the dorsal area.

Example of PHR Washout Mutation:
Mutation: Pastel Mojave Calico Washout
Genetics: Pastel/co-dominant X Mojave/co-dominant X Calico/dominant X Washout/dominant possibly codominant
Genetic Markers / Identification Markers: This genetic mutation identifies its self by washing out the last 2/3rds of the body and by greatly reducing and mutating the patterns of the Mojave and Pastel genes. This mutation replaces much of the black back of the Calico and replaces it with broken to full dorsal stripe. This dorsal stripe will be yellow but were the Calico and Washout genes converge the stripe may be white. The Mojave gene adds a rich brown to the upper back that mixes into a light orange coloration in the sides and skirts.

Examples of PHR Washout Mutations:
Mutation : Super Pastel Calico Washout
Genetics: Pastel/co-dominant X Pastel/co-dominant X Calico/dominant X Washout/dominant possibly co-dominant
Genetic Markers / Identification Markers: This genetic mutation identifies its self by washing out at least the last 2/3rds of the animal. This mutation erodes all of the black back of the Calico and replaces it with a full dorsal stripe. This dorsal stripe will be very light yellow to white but were the Calico and Washout genes converge the stripe may be white. When this mutation is born it will usually appear silverish white in color with very little to no pattern in the last 2/3rds of the body. As this mutation matures the washed out areas will change in color from a off white to a nice orange depending on the Pastel lines used to creat the mutation.

Examples of PHR Washout Mutations:
Here at PHR we have been working on this project over the last few years and we have many more exciting clutches due from this morph in the near future crossed with other dominant/co-dominat and simple recessive mutations. We just wanted to clarify our mutations that we have created and that we stand behind 100%. This mutation is a dominant gene at this time until we further more prove out the co-dominant side of it, fingers crossed. We believe that the Super Washout will be tremendous!!
