so has ralph spilled the beans yet?

Looking at the head it looks like it has spider. Stripe would be the result of combining genetic stripe with the spider. The color is the one that gets me, but I may go with pastel and fire going out on a limb. So this is a minimum of 4 genes and probably has at least one other lightener in it.

Not that Ralph will confirm it or anythig, but it is always fun to guess.

The head doesn't look like spider to me, I think it's clown.

ralph, NERD and some other big breeders prolly have other stuff tucked away that they arent even showing or talking about. i bet that snake ralph produced has been in the works for a while and has been pretty hush hush. with all his other incredible pet projects im sure he has a bunch of secrets sleeping in those racks of his.

i wish i had snakes in my closet...lol

Just go through his site.. it always has CLASIFIED folders on his secret clutches.. And I remeber hearing that if you go through his clutches the last year or 2 you can figure alot of it out. And he is going for some crazy clown stuff, so I bet there is atleast clown in it.

I don't think it's necessarily a matter of record keeping to not know exactly which genes are influencing a mega-combo morph. It's that sometimes there may be so many genes that MIGHT have been inherited, the breeder can't always tell exactly which ones were.

I agree, it looks more clownish than spiderish to me. Of course, that doesn't mean it might not have both in there somewhere. :rolleyes: But clown seems to be the overriding influence for the pattern...at least that's how it looks to me. And I would not guess any super-pastel in there, or the head would not be such a brilliant yellow. I would guess that something other than pastel is bringing out that sunshiny color. :sunny:

Beyond those two comments, I refuse to speculate further on what might be going on in that beauty. :P

I also have a very strong feeling he is well aware of what is in it but until proven he is going to keep it secret from teh rest of us mere mortals!!! :P

But time will tell, we just have to be patient on this one!

None the less, well done Ralph!
:gj:

I still think it's super enchi desert pastel spider clown.

i agree with it might be super enchi spider clown....desert is a good possability but im not thinking pastel..def not super pastel maybe regular pastel.

its king triton in snake form... mystery solved :D

I feel pretty good about the clutch I think it came from, and it's not one of the classified ones.

With his classified clutches, he shows off the females on eggs. These hardly ever are the kinds of females that would pop out something like the snake in question, as we can all probably agree that the snake is most likely some combo morph of at least 3 seperate traits.
