Well I know a university professor that is doing research into genetically engineering the colour of leopard gecko and cornsnake hatchlings at this moment. Facinating stuff... he's hoping to have F1 fluorescent corn snakes geckos. His target start time for this project is May 09 or 10. What he did was offer breeders a pair of viable F1 hatchlings of their colour choice (dependent on his success) in exchange for blizzard/patternless-albino eggs at regular intervals.
Cool, cool stuff.
For now I think the biggest goal is to figure out how to harness multiple morphs to create solid colour snakes in different colours like purple and red. Aside from that I'd assume another big goal is to start controlling and understanding pattern development on balls with more consistency.
