2015 Breeding Season

Target: Lava Lavender het Caramel, and maybe more.

This is the last one for today. More groups to follow in a few days.

I had to look up what Sulfur is, so it wasn't on my mind this year. I can produce Butter Bloodreds from the line with six genes in it, but I do not have the combination of genetics in my colony to produce Striped or Motley Sulfurs.

Thanks for helping me learn another Trade Name today. Now I probably will produce a Sulfur this year, thanks.

Watching that het Golden pairing like..

Very interesting can't wait to what create this year

Edit!

It will be very interesting to see what you produce this year...

I haven't heard of anybody else having any better results than I have, since the group was sold. I am trying everything I know, to keep the line going. To me, Landrace Lines, are what we all want our Mutant Corns to be, but common since tells us, they have hybrid blood in them. Goldens would be a great addition to that concept.

Often, my Landrace lines are belittled. They are the prized genetics of my colony. What more can we hope for, beyond the NAME of the person who caught them in the wild, AND it was recorded at the time of capture, in the ACR, for everybody to challenge? No political BS needed.

We thought we had Landrace Bloodreds. Frase Bloodreds, but they proved to be carrying Amel and Anery, so Landrace was dismissed. They do have heavy wild blood in them. This is the only line, I would say was caused by captive releases. When you hear someone debating a new gene, by the possibility of captive releases, realize it is Political BS.

My definition of "Landrace" is just below "Locality". They may come from multiple localities, but top and bottom of the lines, are traceable to wild caught Corns.

It is now possible for us to have Landrace Lavas, Sunkissed, Anerys, and Goldens and all combines of them. I worked years to clear my original Kathy Love Sunkissed of the Stargazer gene, and now I have offspring that will produce Landrace Sunkissed, Stargazer free. 5 of my original 7 Kathy Love Sunkissed were carrying the Stargazer gene. I hope to do the same with the Golden Line, with the assistance of the ACR.

Target: RedCoats! This "effect", is also traceable to the Wild Line, the Lava gene was discovered in. I will post the History of the Lava Gene again in the Genetics section. The only way to debunk it, is to use the favorite Political BS of it could have came from captive releases.

If this was a possibility, we would have produced them from Captives. Many genes have came from the Hunt Club Locality. I know of Lava, Sunkissed and RedCoat. Our mutant genes all came from somewhere, and if traceable to Wild Caught Corns, the evidence is very strong, they are Corn Snake Genes.

Target: Amel Sunkissed, Stargazer FREE. All of my lines of Sunkissed have been tested to carriers of Stargazer and have been proven FREE. The test are recorded on the ACR to be challenged.

By the way, this second group of breeding photos were taken on 6-2&3. It was a busy two days.

Target: Striped Pewters.

I have several females from the project.

Target: Striped PS.

Why is PS so hard to out cross and then recover, when PS x PS breedings produce PS again, pretty easily?

The answer is, only 1 in 4 from an outcrossed breeding to the allele of Bloodred, will be PS/PS, the other three are 2 B/PS, and B/B. It really is that easy. I have only produced 3 Striped PS to date, with several years of attempts.
