Goini kingsnake genetics?
 

Does anyone know how the genetics of the 'blaze' trait in Goini kingsnakes works? I want to know if a blaze x normal will create all hets for blaze, or if some might end up not carrying the trait at all.

Thank you for your help :)

Blaze Phase is a recessive trait... Blaze x Normal = het Blaze

Here's a beauty i picked up this season:

Thank you for the helpful information! I couldn't seem to find anywhere that said what kind of trait the blaze was, knowing it is recessive is very helpful.

Your snakes are beautiful, by the way :thumbsup:

Not a problem. Not many people seem to be "Playing" with this mutation. I hope with some selective breeding we'll see the best potential out of this trait.

Good luck with your project, and thanx for the compliment.

I hope to get this project (below) off the ground by 2010: Hi-orange X Blaze Phase
