Platty daddy's in my future

I was checking on some of the females that had follicle's but had not ovulated yet and to my surprise the platty sib is ovulating (finally) now the wait is on...... i got my fingers crossed on this one.................i will post pics soon:banana:

how did you get a platty sib???????? i didnt know ralph let any out

only two that i know of !

I know who ralph davis is... and I have heard of Platty Daddy before... Please explain the signifigance of the term "platty daddy"... who is platty daddy???

you are my new best friend... you will be the second person to ever make them ( if im correct) does Ralph know the good news?... and talk about a golden gene

yep, he knows and yes i could be the second person in the world
to produce a platty

it feels like six or seven eggs

So, do you have any pictures of your sibling? What year is she? Was she from the original platty daddy or one of the second string of plattys???

she is an 05 and from the original platty

:gj:thanks.... sir.....

not an ovy pic

Very nice, you are a very lucky person. Best of luck to you, I hope you get a lot of plattys out of her.

Mark

Good luck with the odds. I bet that girl set you back a couple $$.

sorry sir. im kinda new here. please correct me if im wrong. but you need to breed a lesser to a platinum in order to get platinums right? im a little bit color blind. the pic you posted, is that a platinum? cos it looks lie a normal to me.:confused:

Sweet!!!

Platinums are one of my favorites...Hope you produce a bunch!!!

ok. thanks. i got it. but in kevin's book it says to produce a platty you need a platty x lesser or a platty x normal (het. gene carrier).

not from a lesser x normal(het gene carrier).

hmm...:imslow::imslow::imslow:

Thanks everyone!
out of all the projects i am doing this year this is one that is tough to know what will come out because not only did i breed an rdr lesser to her but also a pastel lesser as well so if things work out it could be the first pastel platty daddy ever produced which would be nuts ...i hope...........

Pastel platty would be awesome, good luck!

The gene that makes an animal a platinum is now widely thought to be another allele of the platinum complex. ie: It shares the same exact location as the other genes in the complex. Since genes are paired there can only be two different alleles at any given loci.

Some of the identified genes in the platinum complex are.

Lesser
butter
mojave
phantom
platty sibling
vin russo het white diamond

You can have only two of these in any one snake. Some of the mixes that have been done so far are
Lesser X Lesser = leucistic
butter x butter = leucistic
mojave x mojave = leucistic (or super mojave as some people are calling them since they still have a lot of color)
phantom x phantom = super phantom
vin russo het X vin russo het = leucistic (white diamond I think it's called)
mojave X lesser = leucistic (with a bit of color but not as much as a super mojave)
lesser x phantom = Karma Leucistic (more color then lesser x lesser)
sibling x lesser = Platinum
sibling x butter = butter platty
sibling x phantom = phantom 44
sibling x sibling = normal looking gene carrier (Ralph did this several times and couldn't tell the difference between the snakes but presumably he would have wound up with 25% super siblings (homozygous gene carriers) 50% siblings (heterozygous gene carriers) and 25% normals (non gene carrier)

So, if Chaos breeds his sibling to anything carrying the lesser gene, he should get about a 25% shot at producing a Platinum.

What would happen if you bred a Lesserxmojave bel to a butter bel? Would you get all three in one bel? Good luck on the plattys, keep us updated!

No. Since it appears that they are all different alleles of the same gene, you can only have two traits in one animal.

That's awesome!! I didn't know that Ralph had let any sibs go! That'd be sweet if you hatched out a Pastel Platty!! Good luck!

Congrats!! :D

that's awesome... must feel good to be part of such a great project!

ah.. i see. thank you sir. :oops::oops::oops:

thanks.

Actually, that last line should have read.

"So, if Chaos breeds his sibling to anything carrying the lesser gene, he should get about a 25% shot with each egg at producing a Platinum."

Sorry, I should have proof read that better.

Chaos thats really cool brother! Keep us updated and good luck to you.:headbang:

congrats on that and good luck....keep us posted.

Hopefully you get her to go Erik. I would like to see you produce some Platty's.

Brock

if you wanted to produce pastel plattys why didnt you just breed him to her?

Platties would be cool...I wish you luck and atleast a pair...

(ATP)it's a young male so i was not taking chances.. thats why!

oh i see, sorry if i said that in a sarcastic way. it was like 12 oclock at night lol

Congrats Brotha... I hope you score big on this one

Thanks everyone,
It seem like time is in slow motion with this project

What happened with this??? Did you hit the platty??

Alan

i can almost gaurantee the answer was no he would have been back on her bragging as soon as the little one had piped lol i know i would have

don't worry i have a surprise or two or three to post soon!:gj:

I'm ready! :popcorn:

There are actually 3 in total that have produced Platty Daddies (Platinum) so far.. I believe there is one in Germany and one in the US that accidentally produced Platty Daddies this year... but I understand at the time of posting this, your statement was likely correct. I think the Platty Daddies were likely produced only after your statement.

Anyways, good luck and look forward to seeing the babies!

Regards,
Bristen.

Any platty d's yet:confused:, im curious to see what she threw for you.
