I was wondering if anyone has either noticed anecdotally or kept sufficient records to notice a decrease in either the rate of successful locks or the number of eggs per clutch in any of the commonly maintained mutations.

I am also wondering if anyone has had any experience with crosses of mutant strains that result in infertile or are otherwise have issues. One biological example of how this might happen would be if proteins encoded by two genes functioned in the same biological pathway. This is one possible basis of the multiple mutations that can lead to leucistic snakes when crossed-- so the biological phenomenon of mutations in multiple genes with distinct phenotypes contributing to an independent phenotype is not an unfamiliar one.

Finally, I am wondering if anyone has noticed decreased fertility or fecundity in homozygous recessive snakes of any commonly maintained strain. Do homozygous x homozygous clown, albino or pied matings tend to result in fewer successful mating attempts or smaller clutches?

If any of this isn't clear let me know and i can rephrase.

Thanks!!
