Mojave proven co-dominant!!!

[Adam_Wysocki]

The pricing on mojaves should not change, white snakes have already been factored into the current price. MKR's white snake was actually less of a surprise and more of a confirmation of what everyone already had thought.

Or if there's even yet another form from Mojave x Mojave that nobody's hit yet.

One can only hope!

So what did your female leucistic produce? Someone posted show info that it might have been bred to a spider so I guess that might complicate the results a little. There weren't any normal babies where there? Looking past the spider gene where there only one type of baby or where there two (maybe mom was a cross of different types of hets)? Did any of the babies seem to match with known or suspected het leucistics (fireball, high yellow lemon, lesser, mojave, phantom, butter, or yellow belly)?

I am not at liberty to discuss details at this point.

Someday!

Schlyne,

I was just listing the four actual adult leucistics that I've heard have been bred one or more times already. I don't think Ralph's oldest leucistics (2003) have produced yet. Hopefully his two 2003 males are breeding now and next summer we'll have some results to ponder. I think he also has the 2003 Eric Davies leucistic from England now but I'm not finding anywhere that lists it's gender so unless it's a male it might not breed this year and we might have to wait for the first breeding results from that line in 2006. I'm sure we will eventually get results from breedings of leucistics from the four lines that have already breed. Of course I will not be in a position to buy any of them to find out for myself anytime soon so what's a guy to do but wait.

Kara,

I understand. And that's what I get for taking so long to write my posts up that I missed your new one.

By the way, the post I saw (on a public forum but I don't remember which one) that mentioned seeing at least some of the babies at a show not only indicated the male was a spider but if I remember right mentioned the word fireball when describing a baby. Not that I'm trying to goad you into spilling the beans to confirm or deny ....

[Kara]

Yes, we have a "fireball" spider. Not the best pic in the world, but a pic nonetheless. Of course, this is one of those "tangents" that projects seem to go on from time to time.

Very nice!

But you aren't going to confirm or deny that it's mother was the leucistic?

[Kara]

I'll say this much: it's mother wasn't leucistic.

How's that?

[RandyRemington]

Very helpful. I got the story wrong from the post about seeing the spider fireball at the show. I can't remember how it was worded so maybe I made the jump to thinking that it was out of the leucistic all by myself.

Of course now I still don’t know how your female leucistic might or might not fit in with other leucistic lines.

[Kara]

I guess time will tell!

Yes, people suspected it, but it was still yet to be proven. Even if the price doesn't go up, it will be less likely to come down in the years to come.

Personally, I don't even like leucies A pastel x mojave is my favourite morph to date, not because it's some outrageous combination but that it's simply a slightly enhanced looking mojave. I would be interested in seeing what a congo jungle x mojave or even a congo x pastel x mojave would look like. That's the project I'd be working on if I could afford it
