    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....

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 :)
