Chico's Babies

This is the first year that I have babies from Chico, my hypo male with the neat bands. I'm hoping to develop more banding while keeping that clean color in future breedings. This year I got seven babies from breeding him to a lemon pastel poss het hypo female.

i got a question for you i have a bp that looks similar to the second picture that you have i always assumed that i was just a normal bp with "brighter coloring", what did you cross to get a snake like that, and would it be considered standard or is it something else?

Looks Genetic to me! Chico is beautiful! Looks like a tiger

I'm attracted to the reduced banded bps so I've ended up with a few normals that look like that. The lemon pastel female I used for this clutch is more reduced in pattern than average, but nothing dramatic. I think that most of these reduced pattern snakes with brighter coloring are just simply pretty normals. If you could prove that that pattern is inherited in a predictable Mendelian manner (dominant, recessive, etc.), then that would be a little more interesting but not exciting enough in and of itself. I think it's cool to work with because pretty snakes make pretty babies and the possibilities with selective breeding are endless.

The first 2-3 look like Enchis. Wow!

LMAO! so true and so fun!

Nice looking babies there Maki! Looks like the banding was passed on.

Pretty Chico and some pretty babies to. :)

They look gorgeous! Much greater quality than the usual pastle hets, just wish i had the space and cash to pick one up. I like bandeds and they have a really nice pattern! Hope they all find great new homes when they are ready! Thanks again Maki, you're awesome!

They all look great I love that pattern!
