Thanks Guys!
I just wanted everyone to take a look.
Thanks for the kind words!
For the Striped Amber...
I crossed a female Carmal (from Rich Z.) to a Hypo x Stripe (from Mark Bell) and when their babies hatched out I had half the clutch turn out to be Hypo's. The Carmal was Het. Hypo.
The first year I bred these babies I got Hypo's, Ambers,
Hypo x Stripes, and what looked to be Ghost(?).
One single male Amber stripe hatched and wouldn't ya know it, he wouldn't eat anything. He ended up not making it.
This year was a little better.
4 Amber Stripes and a Ghost Stripe from these female Hypo Het. Stripe and Carmal. I had the odds in my favor...1 in 16.
For the Striped Lavender...
I crossed a female Lavender (from Rich Z.) to the same Hypo x Stripe (from Mark Bell) as the Carmal.
The first year there babies were to breed...well they didn't.
The second year they produced Normals, Hypo's, Hypo x Stripes, Stripes, Lavenders, one Striped Lavender, and to my surprise what looks to be Anerythristics. The male Hypo x Stripe from Mark Bell is Het. for Anerythrism (Ghost). This explains some Ghost's coming from the Carmal and the Hypo x Stripe cross.
1 in 64 for the hypo x striped x lavender. Maybe next year!
For the Striped Opal...
I bred the Lavender female (from Rich Z.) to an Albino x Stripe (from Mark Bell stock). Their babies were normal so I had a 1 in 64 chance for the Striped Opal. This is the first year I was able to breed them.
I was surprised to open the incubation box holding one clutch from the 3x Hets and find a couple of Normals, 1 Stripe, 1 Lavender, 2 Albino's, 2 Opals, and 1 Striped Opal. WOW! I wonder what these odds are.
In short, I have bred the Carmal Het. Hypo and the Lavender (from Rich Z.) to two different males, a Hypo x Stripe and an Albino x Stripe (from Mark Bell). Both males have been proven Het. Anerythrism through breeding trials.
This means I have animals that are:
Hypo Het. Stripe x Carmal x Anerythrism (2.3)
Het. Hypo x Stripe x Lavender Poss. Het. Anery (2.2)
Het. Albino x Stripe x Carmal x Anery. (2.2)
Het. Albino x Stripe x Lavender Poss. Het. Anery. (2.2)
I know I'm not the only one out there breeding for the impossible...So

GOOD LUCK

to everyone that is trying!
May the "Snake Gods" smile on everyone,
