This section is strictly for breeding projects with pictures of both parents and their offspring. This is to show as an example of what can be produced by two particular parents.
Here's a pair of captive bred Desert phase Cal kings.
Here's the entire first clutch. Notice the variation in width of the white bands.
And here's the second clutch.
Here's the same male from above with a striped aberrant Desert phase.
What I found interesting is the striped aberrant may have Newport genes in it as
well, because one of the babies here has the Aztec pattern. What's strange about
that is the Newport gene is codominant. There should be no hets. The SD striped
gene and Newport gene are obviously more complicated than what they are labeled.

Here's a Lavender albino and a reverse dotted Cal king. The reverse dotted
definitely has Newport influence.

This pairing resulted in 3 banded (one not shown) and a very nice example of a
Scrambled banded morph. I was surprised to see that, but I shouldn't. Cal kings
produce all sorts of patterns.

This is a Mosaic het albino being bred to an aberrant albino.
The results were 6 Mosaic, 1 striped aberrant, 1 banded albino, and 1 striped

Here is the pairing of a Blizzard morph to a Chocolate (hypermel) het albino.
From that pairing, Kyle got 5 hypermelanistics het for albino, and 3 Blizzards.
There will be more pictures to come. Here's a link to Kyle's web site.

Whitewater locality kings. This pair is wild caught and are a nice chocolate brown.
Most of the kings at WW are a little darker brown to very dark brown.

A couple of exceptional individuals from the pairing above.
Two very nice Mosaic Cal kings.
What I found very interesting is these last three individuals show a little SD
striped influence. With this one, the patches of speckling is not from the
Newport gene, but from the SD striped gene.
striped influence. With this one, the patches of speckling is not from the
Newport gene, but from the SD striped gene.
This one is closer to a reverse wide stripe than a mosaic.
Another reverse wide stripe. Click photo to enlarge.
These are reverse wide striped Cal kings. The female on the right has some dashes in her stripe, so
she is probably better described as a reverse wide stripe aberrant. The reverse wide stripe on top is
caused by Newport influence, but the sides on both of these are more like a SD striped king. So,
both genes are present here.

This last one has mostly Newport influence.
A pair of Mosaics.
Sometimes the Mosaic gene acts dominant, but here is an example showing its not.
This reverse striped was bred to another reverse striped from Slipstream Serpents
and produced 1 mosaic, 3 Newports, and 7 reverse striped.

The male on the left is a Newport type and the female on the right is a SD striped
aberrant. The first 4 babies show the Newport influence. The last 4 show the SD
striped influence.
aberrant. The first 4 babies show the Newport influence. The last 4 show the SD

This pair was first bred in 2014 and the female produced 3 eggs. these are the 3 from those eggs.
10 eggs were produced in 2015. Here's a few of them. 2 were banded and the rest with various forms of striping.
Offspring produced in 2016.
The results were 2 albinos, 2 hypos, and one possible het hypo and albino.
The results were all hypermelanistic kings possible het albino. There was a huge amount of variation in
hypermelanistic patterns.
hypermelanistic patterns.
The results were 1 banded hypo, 1 albino, and the rest were possible het for each trait or possible double het.
And the results were 1 hypo (possible het lavender) and 1 lavender (possible het hypo). There's always a 1 in 16 chance the parents here could produce a lavender/hypo double homozygote.
Results are 2 Albino possible het Ghost, 1 Ghost possible het Albino, and a het Albino possible double het,
Ghost & Albino.
