Mystic Potion Pied???

[Snake Den]

I am curious if anyone has ever created a mystic potion pied. I was working through the genetics and I believe it is possible, with a lot of time and patience, but maybe it hasn't been done yet? Or does this morph go by another name? Does anyone have any idea?! I think it would be a fun long term project for myself

I've had the same exact thoughts. I believe it's possible but hasn't been done. Or at least not made public. It's a gamble of long odds against you. It would take years of trials and disappointment. But OMG what a payoff if you could do it and prove it. I think you would first have to acquire 2 Mojave het pied to attempt a super Mojave het pied. And then do the same with mystic het pieds. if the odds favored you, you could have a whole clutch of mystic potion het pieds. Then breed them back together and hope really hard. Sounds accurate to me.

Thats what I was thinking! Hmmm, it is tempting. I have the pied, and have been looking to get a mystic potion, could breed the pied to a mystic potion and get some mystic het pieds, and mojave het pieds. Then I could cross them back.... could work maybe? This has me more excited than I should be!

This is our third year working on it. Maybe this will be the one. ...or not.

I don't suppose you would be willing to share your strategy? I understand if you want to keep it under wraps

Not at all. We have two adult mojave het pied females that we produced a few years ago. We produced some mystic het pieds also, but all the mystics were females, so that year was a bust. Last year our mojo het pied girls didn't go. This year we do have a mystic het pied male, and if luck is with us, then perhaps we'll see some purple pieds this summer. So far, no locks.

We are skeptical though about how these three genes will interact. It's possible that the mystic potion pied could turn out to be another all-white snake or white snake with a lavender head.

If I had the resources I would be trying for years to do this. It's just worth it, not to mention a constant supply of mystics and mojos to keep paying for the project. I want Super Mystic and Mojaves so bad.

I was thinking it would probably be an all white snake as well. Maybe it will not be, you can always throw some enchi into the mix if it is. Now that would be a sweet combo Mystic Potion Enchi Pied.

Imagine a purple/black/white enchi striped snake. GORGEOUS!
