yea that belly is crazy looking

gone, or is it just that I don't have a kingsnake account?

Nope, the ad has expired. Was a nice looking animal.

yeah the snake was bought but i wish i could have gotten him

Ouuh, what a shame that i didnt found this thread earlier. Im from germany and maybe the only one here that is in to the harlequin project. I got w clutches over the last 2 years from my harlequin female. Everytime i got visible offspring.

2009 it was harlequin x pinstripe and also x yb. 3 Pins and one "normal" hatched.
One Pin was clearly a cross, the "normal" could be YB Harlequin. I will test this year:

"normal" Offspring:

Harmony (My name for Harlequin Mojave) next to Mojave sib:

Here is a normal Harlequin from the same clutch. (next to a normal from a different clutch)

You can see the intense color. Its orange and just amazing.

Mon is direct from Africa. So maybe it is a different line. The Harmony (Harlequin Mojave) is the same like amirs harlequin Mojave. But i never saw his Harlequins.

So here are my thoughts:

- Harlequin, or at least my line, is dominant or co-dominant. I got 4 Eggs in the inkubator right now. Hopeing to see a super?
- My Harlequins are not "wide-stripe".
- What i can tell is that the Harlequin gene works like a colorpusher. The Crosses are just amazing in color and blushings. A Harmony next to a Mojave is easy to tell even if you have never seen one before.
- There are many, many snakes out there that look like harlequins or similiar. But not many are really genetic. So that makes it so hard to get into the project.
- Markers: Dots or Keyholes. Belly - White with black line on both sides (like described before)m blushed out head (rusty look), and a "look" i have no words for in english :D

Thanks, Sito

do you have pictures of the original parents that you began your projects with? i love the color contrasts between the pins and mojaves very pretty

Awesome thanks for posting, I am going to be pairing my Lemon Blast male with my female harlequin* (original pic in this thread) - got my fingers crossed on a crazy looking Harlequin Lemon Blast. :) Would be pretty cool to hatch out a Worlds first in my first time breeding balls lol.

The more I look into this, the more I think that the wide-stripe is a common occurence in harlequins but not necessarily always present. I also think that there are more than one line of them being passed off as "Harlequin, Wide-Stripe, VMS Stripe, what have you" and hopefully through more breeding projects we will see just what the heck is going on with these genes.
