king snake influence in tessera morph?

I was talking about corn-snake stripe, which is recessive. Because I was wondering why it would matter if the male was not het stripe if the female also wasn't het or homo stripe.

And king-snake stripe has proven dominant already at least in king snakes.

He is doing this experiment to debunk the the theory that Joe Pierce slapped all over kingsnake.com.

That's the WHOLE point of this breeding.

Aaaaand, if the king snake stripe proves dominant (as it already is showing on a 75% corn animal) that will prove what?

Aaaaand did you read Joe's theory?

Dave is taking logical steps toward testing some of the claims made in this thread.

IF it does, then it opens the door to start proving or disproving the other points brought up.

I read Joe's theory a long time ago. And dismissed it as silly. I'm not about to dig into the middle of this thread trying to find it once more. I seem to remember something about the breaking up of the stripe being 'evidence' to him, but you also see that with corn-genetic stripe with regards to the quality of the stripe, or the amount of diffusion or color saturation in various other morphs.

The entire point of this breeding is to test some of the claims made in the theory.

Dave conveniently relinked it in post #182. Less than a page back.

So what's the plan for all the offspring produced from this?.....nevermind the theory. Like, where will they go......freezer?, show tables to be bought and bred later on?.........and as what? Even if they are initially labeled 100% accurately...once they are in posession of countless others, all that goes completely out the window. What if the Cal. kings used originally were Newport-Long Beach coastal aberrants and not San Diego stripes?

I suspect Dave will hold a fair few back for additional test breeding. But who knows on the rest. Dave is a stand up guy, I know he will not do anything crazy like breed them to llamas and make striped corllamkings , but only he can say for sure.


I'm not really a fan of hybrids either, but enthusiasts that breed them responsibly don't bug me as much as unethical indiscriminate breeders.

Well played sir!

Best of luck with that breeding.
