Here is the product from pairing a Kastanie X Java......




So.....Some believe that their likeness to some of the Kastanies points to the potential that Java and Kastanie are the same mutation, but more breeding trials are necessary to make that determination.

The albino version of Javas (aka: Tangerines) look virtually identical to the albino version of the Kastanies (aka: Mandarins), so it is possible they are the same mutation, but again, more trials are indicated (Don Soderberg, personal communication 2012).

Thanks for looking!

Very nice! Both are stunning.

Quick question. If Kastanie and Java are a type of hypererythrism what would happen when mixed into an anerythristic? Would the Anery cancel out the Kastanie? I have been wondering about this lately.

Good point..... There is a lot of work that needs to be done with the Kastanie mutation. It seems as if the anerythrism have some sort of a lighter version when combined with the Kastanie. The proximal 1/3 of the body will develop a yellowish coloration. Please don't quote me an expert on this as breeding trials are underway/in progress. More breeding trials are necessary to make that determination.

I am proving you a few pictures of anerythristic animals that were the product from Kastanie families. The reason I don't call them Anery Kastanies is that I don't have proof to support this findings although the colors do look different than other Anery specimens that I have seen. Lets see what happens this year.:cheers:







This one looks different than any anery that I have seen. Could it be an anery Kastanie?..... :spinner:




This one is interesting as you can see the lighter coloration in the proximal 1/3. This snake started developing a subtle yellowish coloration in the same anatomical area recently.






Take care!

Interesting stuff. Were all your breedings with Anery A? I'm wondering if Charcoal will mask it even more so. I can see your trouble trying to identify an Anery Kastanie as Kastanie itself looks Anery at hatching.

Thank you! Anery A is correct. Adding Charcoal to the equation will make things a bit challenging but it should be FUN. Even when dealing with visual Kastanie mutations you still have to wait a few sheds to make the decision of which on is which. I look forward to combine Kastanie with Charcoal Terrazzo. Should be a neat project.

On another note. Here is a neat example:

A few days ago Holger from Germany posted an outstanding example of a Sunkissed Kastanie. Here is a Sunkissed Kastanie produced by Don from a classic 100% het Kastanie blood and sunkissed. If you look at the phenotypic variation from one versus the other, they look completely different.




Isn't fun....:cheers:

Take care!

Thanks for pointing that out! Those 2 snakes sure look different! Both are pretty, but in a totally different way.

Here is the link to the thread of the other one to make it a little easier for anyone else who wants to compare:
