White Tiger- thinking about this Desert combo...

This is the White Tiger. It is not a brand new hatchling, it has been around for a bit. Frank Martin has hatched some as well.

It is NOT a super Desert. It is a Tiger (Desert x Enchi) bred to Mojave. Why would that make a White (Ivory) type snake? I don't know.

Enchi to Mojave makes Jigsaw, Desert to Mojave makes a beautiful Desert Mojave, so I really have no idea how this visual was created.

At first I was bummed. The white snakes don't do a lot for me. We didn't consider selling it, even as a male, because it was confusing, we wanted to see if someone else made one (like Frank), and just get a better understanding of what is at work there.

But in the last couple of days, I had a revelation. The fact that it is visually Ivory is not so important. It is what this animal can PRODUCE that is actually quite amazing.

This male bred to a Normal female, you could see these hatchlings:

Desert
Enchi
Mojave
Tiger (Desert x Enchi)
Jigsaw (Mojave x Enchi)
Desert Mojave
more White Tigers (Desert x Enchi x Mojave)

Breed this male to a Lesser, or even a Kingpin (Lesser x Pin) and the possibilities exponentially explode again.

I have a renewed appreciation for the genetics at play here. Pretty awesome!

I think this just goes to show us that BPs like to keep us guessing.

He's really cooling looking, but confusing.

Good catch Rich :gj:

To OP:

Actually I'm pretty Stunned looking at this... I'll never suspected that combination of 3 genes will make leucistic type of animal... Thank You for sharing this totally new info for me :gj::gj::gj:

Jigsaw is a mojo pin but yes these animals will always throw us surprises

You are right Rich, good catch : )

That's crazy.
But I'm more interested in that Black and White ball that you're teasing us with in your little bleeping ad on the side!! :angered: Be kind and share, please. :please:

You are the first one to ask : )

I can post about that separately...

Please do!

Also, I love the White Tiger. It's absolutely insane how those genetics work. Just when I thought I was getting the hang of it all, this threw me for a loop. :rolleyes:

Major genetic power house! He oozes possibilities :salute:
