Reduced pattern?

[xXxFluffyEmoxXx]

Do I have any? and are they worth more or less than a normal? ( they are all females)

2nd and 3rd have the reduced pattern. Im not sure if its worth a whole lot more but i would certainly pay a little extra for a reduced female.

Reduced pattern is not always genetic but I would pay a bit more for the breeder female reduced patterns. They are gorgeous.

And yes, the second and third pictures both show reduced patterns.

I'd have to disagree with the statement that "reduced pattern is not always genetic".. As the pattern of a snake is most certainly determined by genetics and can be passed on to offspring. Often enough though, it isn't a single gene mutation that causes the reduced pattern.

Just like tall humans have a genetic disposition to have tall children, reduced pattern BPs have a genetic disposition to have reduced pattern baby snakes.

What I meant was that reduced pattern is not really a morph. It is not always passed down to its offspring.

Definitely reduced! Almost a little bit spider-y.

Not sure on this one... I don't think it is, but I'm no expert. In any case, beautiful pattern and some nice striping, too!

We shall see - this girl was bred to a pastel last year (only hatched normals) and all the normals were very busy patterned - not a reduced on among them:



This year, I bred her to my tiger male, who is genetic, so if the normals got their "busy-ness" from the normal gene from the pastel, hopefully I'll get reduceds out of her from the tiger gene.
