Bob Mason's thoughts on my 3-stripe polymorphic concinnus

[BUSHSNAKE]

hmmm very interesting to say the least...the "on off" switch makes alot of sence

just think of it as homozygous and heterozygous. Both the "normal" single-stripers, and the significantly different 3-stripers, carry the trait and some of the offspring will be homo for the 3-stripe trait. The rest would be the popular and familiar dark single-stripe morph. (hets for 3 stripe)

Like Jeff said:

lol, you guys take yourselves way to seriously, lighten up, it's just garter snake breeding, not rocket science or national security. I'm going to breed her and we will see what we get, may be something pretty, might be something ugly, or may even end up just being average, pretty simple stuff. If it makes something pretty then we can try to figure out the how and why and characterize the inheritance.

I do take it somewhat seriously and it's just a dang inheritable trait for the 3-stripe "fitchii look" but still just T.s. concinnus when you come down to it. Like Jeff said; not rocket science.

wow is all i have to say (i am amazed im able to idenitify polymorphism and string morphs together in sentences now......my correct english is gettn shot to hell )

GOOD! You will go far young Skywalker...
