This thread makes me laugh. Everyone is so confused lol

Don't speak for me, I'm not confused at all.

[bkhuff1s]

Not speaking for you then

[Jeff B]

Very well put.... I bow to the king of genetics!

Don,
No need to bow, I just call it how I see it, and from the current information thats how I see it, in the future with new information my understanding and view could change, hope i didn't offend anyone by expressing my view.
By the way Don that Xmas Nebraska is smoking, so smoking that you deserve to call it what ever you want and quite frankly I think it is fitting and in line with the evolution of the designer nomenclature to call it Xmas Nebraska.

[ConcinusMan]

It certainly is!

Thanks Jeff! she is sweet!!! well...you are kind of the master of the genetics....I know a little, but not near as much as you.

You know, there is so little that we actually collectively know about snake genetics, even less specifically about garter snake genetics, we just take what we see and put our best guess to it based on the human and general snake models. To me that's part of the fun of breeding, the guessing, proving, and learning.....basically the scientific method applied to garter snake via breeding. The best part for me personally about the example model below of the scientific method is the part that loops back "Think! Try Again"

• Ask a Question
• Do Background Research
• Construct a Hypothesis
• Test Your Hypothesis by Doing an Experiment
• Analyze Your Data and Draw a Conclusion
• Communicate Your Results

No need to test. I am right and that's all there is to it.

wow! what a way to start my day! I dont even know what day it is anymore.. I think i see little birdies above my head lol.

But i think I get it!

Can I be a jerk and try to relate them to Ball Pythons??? to help my brain... let say there is albino AND a "high contrast albino" (which there is). Now when those two breed together they will produce albinos and some high contrast albino. Which means it is a strain or form of that albino. Compatible but not an actual second gene in play. Just a breed in "color phase" of the origional albino... most likley through selective breeding OR a "special" looking animal breed into the origional albino..?????????

please forgive me for relating to ball pythons..

please forgive me for relating to ball pythons..

thats what i did at first ^^^ its okay lol
