    MONARCHS on the rocks....awesome!!!
    Hello everyone, just wanted to share a few pics I took today! It was an awesome day here in Oklahoma, so I took a few snakes out for some pics in natural light. All the Monarch stuff is doing great, and simply get better with age. I’m always available to answer any questions you may have. Thanks for looking!

    Nice pics! Every time you post photos of these guys they seem brighter / lighter. Nice background choice too.

    Yes, I have sold to a small handful of investors here in the US, and in the United Kingdom. This project is still in its infancy, and has a great deal of potential!

    I can always count on you to start my Monarch wanting up all over again just about the time it dies down to a bearable level. :P

    I want to get into these guys so badly I can taste it. Why oh why must I be broke? :tears:

    Question for you, any plans to work pied into this project in the future? I like to dream of the even more incredible pieds this gene might produce.

    Can't hurt to ask. Do you know what is going on? Albino removes melanin, what is the monarch gene doing? Just in case you might know some of the chemistry/biology going on.

    I think they are great snakes, cool gene, and really want to get one.

    is the gene co-dom or recessive?

    I can answer that, its recessive. The original two individuals where ugly pastels double het for Monarch and Genetic Stripe.

    Gale, I'd love to work towards a Monarch Pied, but I dont' have any pied stuff in my collection. Someone else will have to be the first for that!!

    Don't sell them all. A Monarch Sugar sounds like it has so much potential!
