Between this thread and the couple from yesterday on kingsnake, many of your ?'s will be answered. I would add that Ian has proven the Black Belly and Yellow Jacket(Pastel/Black Belly). I have heard through a couple friends in the know that he is breeding for the super this season. He hasn't released many of them. That's why no one seems to know about them. I'm not sure whether he has tried any other crosses. He is kind of private about some of what he does -- which I respect. There are a couple of pretty cool snakes/clutches I have managed to keep under wraps -- so far.

Black Bellies as a base morph should carry a ton of value. After all, if you can make a Y. Jacket with the least expensive base morph (Pastel), then I would think that the other half of the genetic code should carry the lions share of the combo value?

My three girls are 1200-1350 grams and breeding, 2 are due to lay in the next two weeks. The other is still breeding my Bee and looks like she is moving toward ovulation. Should be interesting!!!
