Ok... First off wow guys, I come home from work to two full pages of comments. After extensive reading I would just like to say this:
This post was never intended to start an argument on genetics. I was simply trying to share Tom and I's happiness about a project he was working on. I posted the picture of the pin, not stating it was a super pin, simply saying I thought it was an awesome looking pinstripe.
I get that people are 50/50 on the possibility of a "super pin" but I believe it is possible. After reading the comments or "argument" It has only strengthened my desire to continue this project. We ended up with 1.1 Pinstripes from a Pinstripe X Pinstripe pairing. It should be fairly easy and quick to try and prove out the male. At least quicker than the female. I will be sure to post ALL updates on this venture.
If it proves out to be a dud then guess what? No ones time was wasted but ours. If it proves to be a "super pin" then a slap in the face of all you non-believers and we will officially re define the Pinstripe.
So who cares about arguing about everything, All I was trying to do was share some happiness in the breeding projects at hand. Get back to basics people. You may think its a waste of time because we could be producing 4 gene animals in the time it takes to test the pins. Isnt the biggest part of breeding snakes the LOVE and not making money? Ive accepted the fact that I will probably never produce a snake that hasnt already been produced.
Why not focus on something that is a passion rather than trying to be the best or newest or most expensive.
I will keep everyone updated.
