agreed, i guess we will have to wait until one of us " is around a bit" as far as a palmetto and then we can decide :D |

If you want one, 2012 hatchies are to be sold this year (visual females only) for $4000, he says males and hets will not be sold until 2015 to prevent over saturation of the market. Only three het palmetto females were bred to by the original WC male so they will remain a very rare morph instead of being bred to anything and everything in an attempt to produce as many as possible.
Reservations (only 12 and then a 'reserve' reservation list) for 2012 animals were taken last year so the chances of getting one any time soon are slim to none.
Ahh thanks for clearing that up eeji for the record though i dont want one lol dont like em theres a hundred others morphs id pick before palmetto lol |

yup i totally get that but its claimed the first generation werent het there were some normals and the rest palmettos ill see if i can find the article i was reading earlier im obviously not claiming it to be accurate or true lol its an interesting subject though lol |
| Dancross0 |
Posted - 30/03/2012 : 19:07:25
Nope. The first generation, I imagine produced in 2008, would be het Palmetto.
These would be ready to breed in 2011, and would either be bred back to each other, producing normals, het Palmetto, and Palmettos, or bred back to the original Palmetto, resulting in Palmettos. |

Hmm but if he bred the first wild caught palmetto to a normal and got palmettos out surely its dominant ? |
| Dancross0 |
Posted - 30/03/2012 : 18:31:47
It's a simple recessive trait. The first one was caught in 2008, so there was time for some line breeding to prove out the genes. |

Posted - 30/03/2012 : 17:41:56
though i reckon its gotta be a dominant trait cause although i only have a very basic grasp of corn genetics the fact Don soderburg bred his wild caught male to a normal female corn and produced some palmetto hatchlings surely makes it dominant ? otherwise the babys would have just been het ? |

If you watch snakebytes on youtube you will see theres a trader at the narbc show who has a stall with a butload of palmetto hatchlings for sale so i would take a guess at them being either recessive or dominant and not just selectively bred |

hmmmmm i think one of them mixed with a levender or an amel would make for some sexy looking snakes lol |

When I was looking at them (like you seen pic and fell in love) there was a waiting list for the 2013 eggs and yep $4000 was the starting price. And at present only in the US. Fingers crossed give it a few years and they will drop in price and be over here :-D |

thats a very very very very very long time lol |

Yeah, I'm really not sure there will be any at Doncaster this year, considering it's a NEW species and only discovered a few years ago in the US. Unless you want to fly them over, you should wait about, I don't know, 10 years before saving your hard earned $. Whoops I mean £. |

yeah i think that is my best bet as well. just saw one on the internet by chance and though oooooo 8-)

palmetto's a relatively new morph so there won't be much known about what you would get from different pairings, give it another couple of years once the hatchlings are big enough to breed and the price will come down too |
