Thanks guys...it was a group of 5.3 (he was very male heavy)... I've picked out the 2.3 I'm keeping... These next few years I really think they'll be alot more interest in pink snakes. Once the red masque gene(s) are alittle better understood, things shoud pick up (ie what exactly is neon, coral, salmon, blushing, chanpaigne, etc are and are we calling the same gene different names or are there multiple different genes). I THINK there are multiple genes... Coral tends to make pink saddles... neon seems to work more on the background coloration...etc. Just thoughts... excited about the future...
Think about breeding the red masque gene(s) into different morphs to put an extra layer of color into a project... Just look at how it really evens out the BRIGHT RED of the Cayenne Fires compared to regular fires.
MAYBE the red masque gene will be the key in creating a RED on RED okeetee... I've been wanting to do that for years...red saddles...thick black borders...red background... that'd LOOK awesome...
