What are the Genetics for a Superstripe Ball Python?

Hey guys
I am right now looking at super stripes and I was just wondering what makes a superstripe?

YB x Whirlwind/Spector

That would be this little beauty wrapped around the clutch of five eggs. Come on Pastel Super Stripe.

OMG.. the blushing on that girl is insane.

How many more days til those pip Albey?

Until this thread I have not heard of the whirlwind or the spector. Where do you get something like that? Who is producing them?

Nice. I cant wait to see the outcome!

Let me know if you decide to let one of your Spectors go. ;)

Good Luck Albey...keep us posted..

When you want a Superstripe you have to breed a yellow belly to a specter!
ms-reptilien.de , it is a German breeder, he made the very first superstripes!

Greets from germany

Do you produce SuperStripe too from Spector X Spector or Whirlwind X Whirlwind ???

Or Spector X Whirlwind ?

Did anyone tried any of those ?

Yea it is the same one. I should get four clutches from him, that one, two more regular Yellow Belly’s, and one from a Pastel. :gj:

Not that that is necessarily definitive when you consider the 3 in 4 chance of NOT hitting anything...

I think the best way to determine if Spector/Whirlwind have a super form would be to put 2 Superstripes together. Possible offspring would be Ivory, Superstripe and whatever the super form of Spector/Whirlwind might be.

actually that wouldnt work either because both animals would carry both genes so that would not tell you if its a super form.

Not sure I follow.

Spector/Whirlwind/YB are allelic. If you breed a SuperStripe to a SuperStripe you are breeding SpectorYB to a SpectorYB so your possible outcomes of offspring are YBYB (i.e SuperYB aka Ivory) SpectorYB (i.e. SuperStripe) and SpectorSpector (i.e. SuperSpector)

So... If you did the cross and some "new" phenotype showed up you would know it to be the SuperSpector.

If no "new" phenotype showed up I would hold all the SuperStripe offspring for later investigation and try the cross again at least one more time under the assumption I missed the SuperSpector (1 in 4 odds are not sure things after all). If still no "new" phenotype showed up I would take the SuperStripe offspring and breed them to Ivories. If the SuperSpector is visually the same as a SuperStripe (SpectorYB) then breeding a SuperSpector to an Ivory will yield all SuperStripes (SpectorYB). Where as breeding a SuperStripe (SpectorYB) to an Ivory would yield SuperStripes (SpectorYB) and Ivories.
