It is nice to know that I have been missed. I check in daily and look around, but I have decided that I need to put more time into my animals for awhile. The 2005 season will be here soon and I have to get some more shelves set up in some of my new rooms. I also have a lot of hungry mouths to feed.Serpwidgets said:Wow, I wasn't aware that so many miami mot and miami stripe projects had gotten so far along. I'm with DAND! :bowdown:
BTW, welcome back Joe. Long time no see.Is that stripe related to the "cubey" girl I've got here?
The Striped Miami is related to “Cubey”, which makes her 66% poss het for Opal. Since she is from my Striped Lav project, it would be difficult to breed her to anything other than a Striped Lav or Striped Opal. In my opinion, she is one of the nicest and/or most interesting Stripes that has came from this project. I also feel that her phase may produce Striped Lavs with the most contrast which is difficult to produce from the Striped line, due to its hypoish tendencies.
So far, every Striped Lav that I have raised and a pair that I obtained from Stephen Roylance has a ton of pink coloration. This is a pretty sweet deal when combined with lavender, but a light gray and dark purple high contrast striped would be a nice change I think.
Since this Striped Miami is not from a line bred Miami line, I do not feel that she will pass on as much Miami influence as you may think. My Striped Lav Project has been a very interesting study for me, of the effects of selective breeding. Since the original Lavender I used was het for Amel and can be linked back to Rich Z, she could have many genetic factors in her make up. The Amel Striped that I started this project with could also have a very diverse genetic background.
I have never saved back so many hatchlings from a project before this one. I have produced everything from this Striped Miami and Candy Canes to Sunglows and Striped Sunglows in the same clutches. Some have a normal glossy appearance and some are noticeably much glossier than the rest. Some of them are very flat in appearance and have no shine to them at all.
I really do not have any good Miami Males that would be a good cross with this girl. I think I should test her to see if she is het for Lavender this year and perhaps amel. Next year may be a different story. Perhaps I could select a male Lavender poss het Striped that does not have any pink, or even a Candy Cane male poss het Striped Lav, so I would selectively breed towards the Miami Phase and still have a chance to test her for her poss het genes.
Here is a very nice Striped Miami Phase that www.bayoureptiles.com has. I think they may have some Walter Smith influence in them if my memory is not failing me. Bayou Reptiles is also working with some nice Striped Butters and Striped Lavs.

Here are a couple Motleys that I produced in 04 that have some Miami tendencies. I produce quite a few Motleys with dorsal striping from this line as well. They are decedents from the very first Motleys that I ever bought which died of very old age. I use to call this line, my “Plum” Line, but haven’t used that name for a very long time. Don S bought some of this line from me around 15 years ago and still has a couple of them today, but they are ancient.
I think perhaps “burgundy”, may be a better description of their color, but they do have some purplish tendencies. I have never selectively bred them towards the Miami Phase, and have only saved back Candy Cane Motleys and Snow Motleys from this line, which produce Candy Canes. I guess that makes them Snow CC Motleys or Snow Miami Motleys LOL. I definitely see the direction that I need to go with this line in the future.

CRAZY BOUT' CORNS !!
Joe, you are..........
........ absolutely correct.
That Miami Striped was produced here by me two years ago. Rob and Louise were the ones who bought my collection when I got out two seasons ago.
That particular snake was one of Rob's favorites as a matter of fact.
After getting out and missing the snakes so much, I decided to get a few animals back from Rob. The parents to the one you posted were among them and produced the two that I posted. I since have sold the adults and now my plans are to do some selective breeding with my little female to work towards a more traditional Miami coloration in the Striped pattern.
