As some of you have noticed my 2012 Bloodred pieds have hatched. I want to post this for some background history on this project. This project began when Tammy my Wife and I met Walter Smith at the Dixie Reptile Show in Birmingham. We expressed interest in pieds and he said he had some that he was willing to part with. Too make a long story short we got Neo and Trinity from Walter. These are F1 generations from a SMR X McDonald Line crossing that he did. Neo Doesnt really display much pied markers except for a few specs of white on his head and on the lateral portion of his body. Trinity on the other had is a different story She display quit a bit more Piedness too her.
Neo and Trinity were accidentally bred in 2012 when a family member put trinity back in the wrong bin which was Neo's. At the time she weighed 250 grams. Well that first breeding took and she layed a small but all fertile clutch of six egg. I have three hold backs from that breeding.
This year I bred Neo and Trinity together and she layed 12 beautiful pearly whites and got my breath taken away when they hatched out.
Since the pied gene hasn't been nailed down yet I think this shows that the two lines are compatible. I can only hope that in further breeding, the definition of piedness increases.
I must say another Huge Thanks to Walter Smith for giving me the opportunity to purchase Neo and Trinity. It has been hard the past year and this year and this Project has made my year. My goal is to see the Piedness go all the way over like Ball Pythons and with any luck in a year or two it will become a reality.
Walter feel free to chime in If I have missed something.
First two are the parents Neo and Trinity, second Two are two of my 2011 holdbacks, after that is the start of all of the 2012 clutch. They just started into shed and Ill update the pics when they shed. Some were worms just would not stay still lol.
