1st litter born today!!!

[Jeff B]

This litter is from the female blue axanthic bred by the Dodge Co. albino. There were no axanthics born which provides some additional evidence that the axanthic gene is not a co-dominant gene but rather is co-allelic to the recessive anerythristic gene. These babies seem to have inherited the strong yellow orange dorsal from their father. So far they show no red color however they may still develop some red as they get older, as the male was found in an area that has a lot of red radix in the population. All of these babies are likely het for the albino trait. Although this is not a proven albino gene, most if not all albino garters have proven to be recessive. If my theory of co-alleles is true they will also be het for either anerythristic or axanthic (one or the other). The next generation from sib breedings should produce snows or blizzards, axanthic, anery and albinos. The snows and blizzards might have a unique look to them since the Dodge Co. albino has a slightly different look than the typical Nebraska or T+ albino strain type radix. It will be interesting to see how these color up in a month even though they are basically normals and they should make for great breeders.
