Hey, if she doesn't burp like my son Matthew does after every meal... you're good to go! LOL

Gorgeous snake!

a beauty JS! how big is it?

[JuliusSqueezer]

She's somewhere in the 5-6 foot range. I have a male too that is abour 3 feet or so now.

Woops

Would you really want someone that is outspoken against the way many morphs come to exist, to NOT have real experience with them?
That would be the same as taking your car to a porta-potty pumper for repairs...
To me it says a lot about Brett.
He speaks of things he has experience with, rather than being a simple web jockey with massive copy paste skills.


Nice retarded rat, Brett

	Morph A morph is a color or pattern variation that is proven to be genetic. Common morphs include albino, anerythristic, gentically striped, Hypomelanistic, and many others. Morphs also include combinations of simple traits such as "Sunglow" which is Albino and Hypomelanistic. These traits may be recessive traits, co-dominant traits, dominant traits, or created through selective breeding (ie Pastel).

I even have a pair. But they are on opposite sides of my snake room and won't be bred. These snakes are indeed retarded. Very mature post David. Thanks for your concerns.

I have a male leucy tx rat from back in the early 90's when there DEFINATELY was some genetic mischief going on.

But in one outcrossed line I worked with, they were all pretty normal.

You could put a leucy next to a normal and they pretty much acted the same.

They would both even fall over backwards from leaning back too far to try and get a bead on you to strike.

LOL...Rav says the same thing. I am willing to try it if I can find an adult pair of normal texas rats I may breed 2 sets of unrelated hets to see if I can come up with some nonretarded leucys...Neither of mine are buggeyed so maybe there is hope for them. I suppose it may seem odd to some that I find the ones I have who seem calm and tame and just happy to be here as having undesirable behaviour lol.

Thanks Shane.

	Heterozygous Heterozygous - the animal carries the gene for a genetic trait but does not outwardly demonstrate the trait. Example: A boa that is het for albino looks normal but carries the albino gene. When it is bred to another het for albino boa or an albino boa, a percentage of the offspring will be albino.

hey. i see alot of talk about inbreeding and such. would someone please go into detail about it. i don't know much about breeding; i am still learning. i'd like to know what you guys think is right and wrong and the do's and don't's. i know don't get two leuc's and breed 'em. what else? thanks.
