Green/Labyrinth Update! Long over due I know!

[Hacker79]

I've been getting asked about these ever since this clutch hatched out, but I wanted to be pretty sure of what was going on before I made another post. I originally thought the green/labyrinths were just greens, and the heavily spotted green in the clutch was a green/labyrinth. Seemed to make since as the green looked more like what I was expecting a green/labyrinth to look like. Shortly after things shed out I really started having some doubts, and could tell what I thought were greens with not spots looked very unusal. Then when my albino green clutch hatched which contained albino greens 50% het labyrinth it was pretty clear what I thought was a green/labyrinth was really a green when compared to the albino greens 50% het labyrinth with heavy spotting. So the next question was are any of them green/labyrinths? Maybe not having any spots dorsally or on the sides is an indicator of them being het for labyrinth? That isn't likely as the albino green clutch had nothing even remotely similar to what I thought were greens with no spots. Infact, I suspect the greens and albino greens with more spotting in the clutch will be much more likely to prove out het for labyrinth versus the greens with less spotting on the sides. I say the pictures speak for them selves, and you can decide what you want. As you can see they have a much different color than the green. Plus there are no spots on them what so ever, not even going down the back which I don't believe I've ever seen a green not have.

This is a picture of the two green/labyrinths together


Here is the green 66% het labyrinth from the clutch with a half sibling albino green 50% het labyrinth.


Last here are some more pics of one of the green/labyrinths

Nothing that recent as the female is just a normal triple het, and the male was normal albino double het.
Here they both are when they were younger, and here is the clutch hatching.
Normal mother

Albino father

The eggs a few weeks from hatching

	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.

I don't know jack about genetics, but I do know an incredible looking snake when I see one. Those are seriously beautiful. Congrats!

Oh, you are one of those people...lol j/k I love the normals too, but the morphs are a lot of fun and very pretty as well.

	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).
