Harlequin Wide-Stripe

[Aes_Sidhe]

The best "plain" PE Stripes appear like this:


And the best one yet, hatched in 2010:

Geeez Man That Stuff is Hot... sometimes This what turn me on in BP the most "wild type" colors but crazy pattern variations....

...Here's a picture of the animal she now calls ' quinstripe '

**picture removed**...

Beautiful!!!! I want one!!!

That looks like a Desert PE Stripe. Cool looking.

I will try and take a couple more pics today, including a Ghost Tri Stripe-ish animal.

This is where it turned weird a couple of years ago. We started hatching out stuff from this same Double Het Ghost PE Stripe line that started looking like Tri Stripes.

And the best one yet, hatched in 2010:

On the VMS Website, they are listed as a co-dominant mutation with a super form called "Side-stripe."

Do you think your snake could be a super form of the wide-stripe?

You had said that you sometimes produce these (harlequins/PE's) without the stripe... I'm wondering, could the Double het Ghost PE Stripes have been a co-dom PE stripe(not showing the stripe) het ghost as opposed to having double het animals? And this animal pictured is in fact a super form of the PE Stripe/harlequin, 66% pos het ghost?

Haha I'm reaching here but its the only way I can piece it together that makes any sense... unless theres more than one line being played with here, yours being recessive and others being co-dom or polymorphic or what-have-you.

Maybe I'm confused on what the breeding was that produced that snake, if I'm reading right it was Double het Ghost PE Stripe x Double het Ghost PE Stripe?

[Robyn@SYR]

Yes, the Ghost PE Stripe is from a Double Het Ghost PE Stripe to Double Het Ghost PE Stripe, where both parents look normal.

Yes, the Ghost PE Stripe is from a Double Het Ghost PE Stripe to Double Het Ghost PE Stripe, where both parents look normal.

And the Tri-Stripes as well?

Well i took a look at all the wides today and all of them have 3 features in common.

1. blushed out heads
2. each side of there tails has a black line kinda like the "het pied" maker
3. dot in the stripe on lower part of the body

Also saw some newly hatched combo's that I wasn't even aware of. Again some very cool stuff and some not so much. Next year will be an interesting season for sure as my friend is devoting all his females to the project.

So we now have het albino's, het pied's, and het clown wide stripes.

[Drewp]

Meeistom the line you're working with is co-dominant, correct? And were they acquired through VMS? Oh an when you say a dot in the lower part of the body, do you mean closest to the tail or head?

[meeistom]

The line was from VMS from what i've seen it's not a co dom or dom it's an incomplete dom. The dots are on the lower half toward the tail. The combos don't have it but all the non combos have it. Next season at least 2 female wide stripes will be bred to wide stripe males so we should find out more info then.
