LOVE like a SASSY SOCIOPATH

!!!

I already got a new male to replace a breeding male who is still a hatchling hahaha

This is actually Jefe/Hephaestus’s dad. Noble reptiles put him up for sale yesterday. He will be replacing Jefe in all my breeding projects, because he is a more potent and already proven breeder.

Hes a super disco enchi pos het hypo pos het rainbow. “Super” disco meaning that no matter what he passes on the disco gene to his offspring. He will create no normals. I dont think ill be working with the hets, although rainbow intrigues me.

I like the way OTB Reptiles, who has been working with the morph, describes rainbow: “the sasquatch of morphs.” People heard for a while about this mystery gene in the Bells’ animals, but no one had actually seen a homozygous rainbow.

It wasnt until just 4 years ago we had full confirmation that rainbow existed. There is word that Herman Van Hellem, a relatively well known breeder and frequent customer of the Bell’s, had been working with the rainbow gene in Europe prior to this time frame, but there was still almost no public information on the gene until Ted Thompson of Susquehanna Ectotherms produced the first few in the US in 2015. IIRC, Thompson had imported a disco combo from Van Hellem that possibly held the rainbow gene, and when he paired offspring back to it, BOOM- the first rainbow albinos in the USA.

TBH Rainbow looks almost identical to the banana morph (without the freckles), but retains its brighter colorations into adulthood much better than bananas do. They’re still ridiculously expensive, and therefore not very common or explored.
