Harlequin Wide-Stripe

[dr del]

HI,

Here's the deal with harlequin wide stripes. These are the things I personally know to be fact.

1. yes it's genetic and it has been proven. it's an incomplete dominant morph. when bred to a normal you get 25%-50% wide stripes

2. it does not work with pastels but if you breed it to super pastels it does work. Basically if you breed a harlequin to a pastel you get 50% pastels and 50% normals. If you bred it to a super you get at least 25% pastel harlequins. The last clutch was 6 eggs and 3 were pastel wide stripes. I know for sure it works with fires, anything that makes B.E.L., yellow bellies, and albino's. The males have been bred to about 26 different snakes over 2 seasons.

3. there are 3 lines of wide stripe out there. VMS/Pro Exotics line, a Canadian line, and a line from Italy.

I bought 4 wide stripes from VMS 2 males and 2 females. All of them have been used and all produced wide stripe offspring. I know the person now owns the 4 and there offspring and they are working on a few projects that might be shown off this year but most likely next year.

Can you share some more information about this?
