In Reply to: Female silver suboc wild caught in west TX posted by Aaron on September 08, 2002 at 23:58:13:
: Collected a few nights ago in the Gap, hope you like it. I think it could be axanthic. BTW has anybody ever heard of any captive bred normally patterned axanthics? I also have a wc normally patterned silver female from the Xmas Mtns. but it's not quite as light. I got a wc Xmas male this year so I will be able to breed them next year if all goes well. And I've heard of silvers being found around Van Horn. Has anybody heard of any of these wild silvers being bred and if any of them are proven genetic? And is anyone outcrossing the axanthic blondes to get normally patterned axanthics? Could it be done or is the axanthic gene linked to the blonde gene?
Very nice looking animal. Doesn't surprise me that it comes from Black Gap........that area produces a lot of nice specimens of all that crawls in the Big Bend area. I don't believe that I have ever seen any "normal" patterned silver subocs. The ones at most of the shows that I've been to, are xanthic for the blonde pattern. If you can get your project going, keep us posted. I'd love to get on your list. Better yet, get back out there, and see if you can scratch up a gravid female.....lol
