    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

hi all.
anyone know any thing about it the reason i ask is because i have seen the most outstanding male patternless leo(with carrot tail)the only problem is that he has a small kink in the end of his tail!could i out cross the tail kinks???
or should i walk away??
thanks for the time.
simmo:):D
 
I think it might run in the patternless line. When I owned two patternless, they both had small kinks at the end of their tails and in pics of other patternless I have seen kinks on them too.
 
It is very much present in the patternless lines. Many people don't think you should breed them at all, so someday we'll have more of them without kinks, but I believe it'll probably be around forever. I think that some of them that aren't kinked probably carry the gene, kinda like being 'het' for kinked tails. Either way, it doesn't hurt the animals, just the way they look. If you plan on breeding and you would like to minimize the chances that your offspring will have kinked tails, I'd choose breeders that don't have kinked tails.

Unfortunately if you look closely, you'll find many kinked tails in carrot tails, as well. In most cases it's not as dramatic as in the patternless, but it's out there quite a bit. Look at some of the 'bigger' breeders' pictures on their sites.

Here's a picture of one I hatched last year from some top bloodlines...is it genetics or incubation? I dunno.

Good luck
 
Chad!.....It's really simple, we just need to add more forums so we could really confuse the hell out of ourselves!
And the first new forum should be the [bicth the hell out of a Kingsnake forum] so I can post some of my new baby cricket I just hatched out!
