STRIPED Male:

HYPOMELANISTIC Female:

AMELANISTIC & Possible Het Hypomelanistic Male:

AXANTHIC Female:

These Two are the results of a Wild Caught Green Valley, Arizona pair of getula. One parent was an MBK phenotype and the other was a Desert King phenotype. Many believe that MBKs are melanistic desert kings.
MALE Green Valley getula:

FEMALE Green Valley getula:

Definite Double Het for Snow (Amel & Axanthic) & Possible Het for Ghost (Axanthic and Hypomelanistic):

We should see some of the first Snow Desert Kings next year and if we are really lucky we will see a Ghost.

We are also hoping that the Green Valley getula pair will produce some interesting offspring.....Maybe some MBKs. There is also a possibility they will throw an offspring with a California King phenotype.....The area they are from is a convergence of California Kings, Desert Kings and MBKs.......

I really like the hypo and axanthic morphs. I have a feeling the genetics on that striped morph are not going to fit any of the common categories like recessive, co dom and dominant.

Clearly a form of discrimination.

I like the desert kings, probably because they remind me of my yumensis phase California king.
