What are peeps doing with Genetic Stripes nowadays?

I'm doing a few things with it this year. I have Cinny Lesser het Stripe x Stripe and Woma het Stripe, Woma het Stripe x Stripe, and Mojave Red Stripe x Pastel Stripe (Can't wait to see more Red Devil combos)!

You should also check out Exotics by Nature. Sean has done some awesome stuff with the Genetic Stripe Gene! Pastel Calico Stripe, Pewter Lesser Stripe, Enchi Lesser Stripe and so on!

That's a beauty there, C+H! I love the complete stripe.

I have put the deposit down on the GS from Serenity Serpents. I am counting the days until he arrives :))

I am in love with their patternless sides and coloration. I may or may not have my eye on one for sale now ;)

Nice to see you back Gin what combos did you decide to pursue with your new acquisition ?

Thanks man; I definitely remember you from years past here :)
I know that I am going about it in a less-than-ideal way; I should've gotten a female GS to grow up, but I did not have the added funds and this male I am getting struck me in a "must buy" fashion.

I am hoping to get a subadult het-GS of some type, female, soonish. Not sure what; some possibilities are pastel or spider. I have always loved Spider genetics, and producing them in years past was one of the most exciting things of my life. (I know, I am weird; lol.)

I would breed the future GS het to the guy I am getting, and go from there. I really, really like the butter GS's, and butters, in general. Maybe eventually go for butter GS and super butters (BEL) because these are both snakes that I really like the looks of. For the time being, I am getting a subadult normal tomorrow, and plan to grow her up and breed her presumably with the GS asap; maybe not this year if the growth isn't there.

So glad to be back into BPs. I do have a ghost stripe Blood with a full backstripe that I have fancied breeding with the GS, to try for Superballs. I am still researching all of that though, and not 100% sure that I want to do that. Not morally against hybrids, and I would get them microchipped if I were to sell them. That's pretty farfetched though.

My short-term goals are to maybe also get a het GS spider or pastel to put into the mix. It feels so good to be planning snakey stuff again!

I like how excited you are to be working with a morph that gets overlooked because of the SS stuff. I think GSs are really cool and under rated IMO and I do intend to incorporate a small project into my breeding plans in the future. Congrats on the new pick up I look forward to seeing your GS project progression! :gj:

Thanks! I am stoked. It is a bit daunting to see where everyone has progressed since I have been out of the game, and to rebuild some sort of a collection. But I want to. I am looking at it in this way: it'll be fun to get new acquisitions and start from scratch with also having the knowledge from before, of how to build an incubator, care for eggs, etc.

I am trying not to focus too much on what I've sold/lost, and more on what I can acquire. And glancing around the house looking for things to sell for snake funds. LoL!
