Is this a Lavender Motley?

Thank you.

Since I am unfamiliar with pastels, are they recessive? What can I breed them to so they look Pastel or would that even work?

Is there anyway to tell what any snake is (gene wise) Het...etc by breeding to certian snakes?

Pastel motleys usually refer to a snake being homozygous for anery a, hypomelanism, and motley.

I think in this case, your snake is homozygous for anery a, hypo, and then has motley and one stripe gene, hence the motley/stripe intermediate look.

You could breed it to any number of things. Anery A, Hypo, Stripe, Motley, Motley/Stripe, and you will get all non-normal morphs.

If you're looking for the pastel look, the best bet would be to get another pastel motley, or a nice ghost het motley.

Yes, that's how you figure out what snakes are carrying what genes. If for example you bred this snake to an anery and got all anerys from the pairing, you'd know that you had a pastel motley for sure, 100%.

Just because the spots are elongated does not mean it is a mot/stripe.
 
Since I have already begun a conversation with you I'll ask you another question instead of begining another thread.

I have a Anrey (think it is A) she is ready to breed. I want to get a nice clutch from her. All i know about Anreys is if you want anrey hatchlings you have to breed to another anrey. I am thinking Okeetee, my husband is thinking Bloodred. What do you think?

Me? I'd be all over the 'Granite' hets.

Bloodred x Anery = 100% normals* het bloodred, anery.

The * is there because bloodred is codominant so many of the hatchlings might not look very 'normal'. Anery A bloodreds are awesome, in my opinion.

Plus, if you're looking to sell those hatchlings double het anery and bloodred would go for a lot more than just normals het anery, which is what okeetee x anery would be.

My husband just chimed in, he wants to know about Butters (stripped probably) (to our Anry Female (A)) :noevil:
 
I hate that we can't edit. I just wanted to thank you for your time. I hope I am not bothering you.

I'm sure you love talking about this...if you like it as much as I do... I shouldn't worry.. ;)

Are you asking about breeding: butter x anery A? Imo, a waste of a breeding.

yes I was. Thank you for your time.

I am gunna head to bed...

The Husband wants to know what you think the top three would be.
(he says he will check for me, we use the same user name)


-Good night and thanks again.... :wavey:
 
A pastel motley is an anery, hypo, motley. All three are recessive genes. You can determine what your snake is and whether he is heterozygous for anything by doing breeding trials. For example, if you breed him to an anery, you would get all anerys (phenotype). The babies would be het motley and hypo, too. Also since your little one may be a motley stripe, that works a little differently, as well.

Top three for the Anery A female?

It depends on what you want, and what you have. If you want hatchlings that are non-normals, you obviously need to mate the female with a male that is homo for anery a, or het for anery.

If you want project babies to raise up and then breed back and hope for some good luck, then the sky is the limit.

I've got a het bloodred male, but no female big enough to breed. If I had a female anery, I would have done that pairing this year. That's personally what I would do.
 
Finally found a photo of some Pastel Motleys I hatched out last year.

And compare those above with this photo of another Lavender Motley.

Oh and Joe, I hatched out the first Lavender Corn in 1985......... :sobstory:

I contribute my knowledge and look at all the commercials around the board - isn't that enough? :sidestep:
Being not able to edit leads to more postings and to more waste of webspace that is sssooo expensive :santa:

Good point, I'd probable have 30 posts fewer to my name if I could edit out little muddles like writing '23 weeks' instread of '2-3 weeks' These don't show up in a spell check but totally change the meaning of the info.

I was actually going to contribute a few months ago but I didn't realise that the amount you have to contribute is fixed. My contribution fell short and I didn't want to feel pressured into spending more than I wanted to so I chose to not contribute..such is life.
 
OOH, and there's another...what the hell is 'instread' and why did the spell check pass it by?!!! :sidestep:

I see the difference... the lavs seem more pink to me... and mine looks pink... at this point I dont care what she is. We wont be breeding her for a while, she is only a yearling. I trust your opinion... Although my husband wants me to "keep asking" and he wants me to "get an accumulation of different peoples opinions, like Mrs. Love" I swear he is in love with that woman.

Thank you for all of your help. :)
 
I don' want to destroy something - but Mrs. Love will say to you "This is not a Lavender Motley.". :grin01:

At this point I don't doubt she will. But you don't know my husband... persistnt lil bastard...but I love him. :)
 
It is not at all unusual for Pastel Motleys to turn pink colored. You would likely see this turn in coloration when they are about a year old.

This is a full adult, so envisioning the transition shouldn't be too hard to imagine.
