Hmmm Strange Observation

[Atlas511]

I noticed that some of my 2010 babies from my wc female look odd? there seems to be two different patterns? one has a nice solid boarder around the orange dorsal stripe and on row of spots. The other seems to just has a ton of spot?

any input will help! thanks guys

Pretty!
I like the bold striping.

There is much variety in those radixes. Everyone a jem.
That is one of the things I like best about them*VARIETY*

Nothing unusual about that. Like Steve said, Variety.

thanks guys~ i might hang onto them and see if I can breed em back

Yes- there is something unusual about that striped one. I have one like that and so does Scott Felzer.... they are siblings. That's not your everyday t. radix pattern! I would definitely keep it and breed it back to a parent or sibling that looks like that if you have a few of them. Scott calls his an "aztec".... I just call mine the super-striped!

I was thinking about these snakes- the stripes really remind me of some of the garters I caught as a kid- I suspect they might have been Butlers Garters as they are pretty common here in MI. If I'm lucky, maybe I'll find one like I remember eventually.

Well I really hope they are genetic. I am keeping them all lol! I really hope I have a pair.
