    Re: First time babies

    congrats on the babies. I would agree with Tommy, keep them pure for a generation or two to see how true the look breeds. Hard to tell from photos if it is T+ or T- or something new. Looks like they probably are T.sirtalis sirtalis parents. Pretty exiting! Congrats

    Re: First time babies

    are you located in the southern part of Ontario? my first thought was Butlers garter when I saw them, but I do not have any personal experience with them and didn't know if they ranged that far north, but I googled and butlers do extend into southern Ontario.
    Anyone on the forum ever kept Butlers garter?

    Remember also, these are w/c and they come with and pose their own set of risks for health issues. Fantastic looking animals and congrats on the clutch!
    Stay in peace and not pieces.

    I caught these two snakes in Waterloo, Ontario.

    What does T+ and T- mean exactly? I never had any intentions of breeding snakes lol, it just happened

    Re: First time babies

    IT MEANS TYROSINASE POSITIVE OR TYROSINASE NEGATIVE.( Tyrosinase is an oxidase that is the rate-limiting enzyme for controlling the production of melanin. It is mainly involved in two distinct reactions of melanin synthesis; firstly, the hydroxylation of a monophenol and secondly, the conversion of an o-diphenol to the corresponding o-quinone. o-Quinone undergoes several reactions to eventually form melanin.[1] Tyrosinase is a copper-containing enzyme present in plant and animal tissues that catalyzes the production of melanin and other pigments from tyrosine by oxidation, as in the blackening of a peeled or sliced potato exposed to air.[2] It is found inside melanosomes which are synthesised in the skin melanocytes. In humans, the tyrosinase enzyme is encoded by the TYR gene. A T+ ALBINO (AKA CARAMEL ALBINO) WOULD BE DARKER IN COLOR BECAUSE THE TYROSINASE IS STILL PRESENT. THE T- ALBINO WOULD BE LIGHTER IN COLOR AS YOUR CLASSIC ALBINO BECAUSE THE TYROSINASE IS ABSENT. HOPE THIS MAKES SENSE.
