    Thanks guys. Pairing was Splatter x Yellow Splatter.

    SPLATTER STORY

    A quick guide to the Splatter gene!



    The Splatter gene doesn't appear to be working like the normal gene types that we are use to, like Co Dominant, Dominant, and Recessive, as you will see from the history of the project below.

    A number of years ago I was lucky enough to buy an adult “normal” female that I thought looked a little Phantom like. This was back when Ralph Davis was the only person doing anything with the Phantom gene, so I thought it would be worth breeding her to see what came of it. When the breeding season started I paired to a Spider male, but sadly she only produced 2 viable eggs. Out of those two eggs I got 1.1 offspring that looked identical to the adult female, but sadly the female died shortly after hatching. I grew on the male and when he was old enough I paired him with his mother, and out of the resulting clutch hatched what I have termed Yellow Splatters. These appear to be similar to the Splatters, but lighter and brighter, with an obvious joining of the pattern along the sides of the neck. The clear belly also exhibits a parallel set of dark coloured dots that run the length of the belly, with some examples showing up more than others. I have since hatched more Yellow Splatters in subsequent seasons.

    After growing up the female Yellow Splatter I decided to pair her to the first Splatter male that we produced, and in 2012 produced what I have termed the Super type Splatter. I originally thought that I had hit the Super Splatter, and that the Splatter gene was Co Dominant, but the following year in 2013 my good friends Tony & Becky Wilson (Tony & Becky Reptiles) produced 2 female Super type Splatters by pairing their Yellow Splatter male with an apparently unrelated and normal Pastel female. The clutch also produced a Splatter, a Yellow Splatter, a Splatter Pastel, and 2 female Yellow Splatter Pastels. They repeated the pairing the following year but sadly the female slugged out. This season they have paired their Yellow Splatter male to a selection of females, including the original Pastel female, so will hopefully have a few more Splatter combos to help us try and figure out what is going on gene
