Congratulations
Don,
Congratulations to you and Walter for producing those stunning snakes. Foresight, patience and perserverance wins the day! It proves again that you never know what can happen when you see something out of the ordinary and ask the question "I wonder what would happen if I ....." - that question is always the genesis of all breakthroughs.
Good luck, and hope to see you in Daytona

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
I've been remiss in telling the rest-of-the-story of the beginnings of this line so I'll do that now.
Three years ago before the breeding season, Walter Smith wrote to ask if I have any adult female bloodred corns that would complement his adult male that had a considerable amount of white on it. I had one with "some" white on the sides, ventral-laterally. Sent her to Louisiana and after the breeding season, he returned her with half the babies. Only one of the babies he sent back had traces of white on the sides. I estimate a total of only 20 scales of white. Hence, the indication was that the trait was either not recessive OR that only one of the parents had the gene IF it indeed was a recessive trait. By not seeing the amount of white I'm seeing in the F2s, I was worried it was not recessively inherited.
This year was the first year I felt the females were large enough so I bred two sisters with two different brothers from that Louisiana breeding. Also, bred one of the F1 males to the mother. As stated before, I got alot of the pied sided corns from those three pairings. The average ratio was just over 1/3 of each litter representing the target phenotype. From these results, I think it's safe to say we're dealing with a recessive trait. The amount of white on them varies from roughly 5% to 40% coverage and is so far relegated to being on the sides only. Actually, many have a slight amount on the face too.
That's about it for now. The "red sided" effect seems prevalent in these too. Some that have little or no white on the sides have virtually no lateral markings. Of course, this is not new to bloodreds. We've hatched many over the years with no lateral markings. "We" the collective breeders, that is. This family seems to be a relatively good feeding group so they're growing quickly already. I'll keep you pictorally posted so we can all monitor the the changing looks through maturity.

Gotta love 'em!
Nice to hear the "rest of the story." They are absolutely gorgeous, and we will be looking forward to progress updates and pictures. Congratulations, they are outstanding.

Check out their tails too. We might also start seeing white on the tails if it's showing up on the noses.SODERBERGD said:

Ok . . .
Example:
Last week, I was shooting this patternless hypo bull. Just after I snapped the pic, the snake just lurched off the rock. Didn't know what the heck happened 'till I looked at the picture. Fire ant! Got her on the tail just after I clicked the shutter for this pic. She's fine, but I didn't even see that ant getting ready to tag her tail.
I'll pay attention to tails and dorsums. Ya know, we see lots of stuff these days through the shutters of our cameras that were heretofore unnoticed. I see stuff in pictures that I don't with the naked eyes. Of course, my eyes are never naked or something. I'm always wearing glasses. :roflmao:Serpwidgets said:Check out their tails too.
