Wow, I just went and checked those. Some nice looking animals. Are the 'golden' and 'blue' morphs fairly new? I don't really keep up with the non-eastern morphs but I don't remember those being available a couple years ago last time I bought from him. Could have just overlooked it but it seems like the red-sided variety has increased quite a bit.

Just curious, what are the genetics behind those traits? I'm aware of how they work in Easterns (assuming they would be analogous to golden and Florida blue morphs), but the golden especially seems to be something different going on than in the golden easterns.

btw I apologize for sounding snippy in my first post. It's been a long day, and I should've been more up-to-date on red-sided morphs before saying anything.

Lora i should apologize myself. after rereading the whole thread i realize i may have sounded sassy.

I bought the snakes from Felzer

there was a parietalis that had no red that had "golden" or yellowish flecks as appose to red that was from a wild caught female that scott got from don belnap. Scott named it "golden". it never proved to be recessive or codominant so you don't see it anywhere...its history lol

I thought i remembered the golden red sided being a codom, but who knows i focus mostly on easterns and a few others. I've never worked with parietalis, but i might someday. The blue redsideds are cool and i love the albinos.

I agree with Dan. If you combine three different recessive traits, you're just going to get animals heterozygous for each. Of the three morph's, the blue gene might not be a true recessive and you may see it represented somewhat in the offspring phenotypes; likely in a lesser degree than if you had bred two blues together. As directed above, breeder more familiar with each morph might have a more specific answer.

i know it says codom on scotts website but im not sure if thats correct...so yeah who knows,another mystery??? you would think you'd see more of them. maybe scott would be so kind and chime in and give some history
