    After chatting with Tracy Barker last night and this morning. We've decided to recall the claim T+ and just call her "a really special snake" until the T+ genes are proven. For this we would need to breed the siblings to the parents and hope they produce some offsprings resembling their now famous sister!



    This year we'll be pairing up the parents and hope we see another "really special snake". If we do, this would mean the litter would be considered 66% Poss Hets. When breeding the sons to the mother or daughters to the father, we should get 50/50 split between what she is and 100% Hets....we hope!

    Here are the steps the Barkers took to prove the genetics in their line:
    1) acquired "unusual looking" snake and siblings as new borns in 1997
    2) bred "unusual" female to sibling male and produced more unusual (6)
    and (3) normals in 2000
    3) bred two normal siblings in 2002 and produced "unusuals" and normals
    in 2004
    4) bred new line of unusual I got as a wild baby to our unusual in 2005
    and got 5" unusuals" and 5 normals showing these were compatible-so I
    can now designate the wild caught animal as a "caramel"
    5) bred unusual to 100% het and produced half "unusual" and 1/2 normal
    in 2006

    Needless to say, we'll spend the next few years proving the genes out and you won't see another snake from this litter being sold for a long time!

    Great choice for a hold back. Can't wait to see her in another year or 2.

    LOL...Matt, Rulyn and a few others should consider yourselves pretty lucky. Whatever you do...hold on to those babies! They may be worth a lot more than you think!


    And if you do sell, I want 25% for a stupidity fee for selling those babies! :oops:
