3 Recessive Gene Snake??

Just a random question, but has anybody heard of/ breed a 3 Recessive Gene snake?? If so, how would you go about breeding it??

This is and has been a long term project for me. My plan of attack is breeding two visual double recessives together that share a common gene. For example I will breed an albino genetic stripe to an axanthic albino. From this clutch you will produce all albinos that will be double het for both axanthic and genetic stripe. When these offspring are bred back together you will have a 1 in 16 chance of producing the triple vs 1 in 32 chance you would have breeding triple hets together.

I heard rumors of a genetic stripe hypo caramel a few years ago, but never saw anything about it, so I doubt the triple recessive has been done.

but yea what they said, breed 2x double recessive and make the visual double het. my plan is to attempt it with hypo/clowns and hypo/albinos.

Ok awesome:) let me know how that goes!!! i love the look of axanthics!!

The previous posters described it perfectly. In corns, where the vast majority of genes are recessive, we have snakes expressing 5 different traits already and people are working towards those with 6 or 7!

I myself have 3 hatchlings expressing 3 traits, and a single girl who may show 4 genes!
