Produced by John Stolz, TailsNscales in Derby, Kansas, this beautiful 2015 Emory’s Ratsnake (aka: Great Plains Ratsnake) is surely het for the Chocolate mutation for this species? This is not an unusually rare example of aberrant pattern–that is usually inherited from a Chocolate Emory’s Ratsnake mutant. I forgot to ask, but I’d expect John to say that one of the parents of this one was het or homo for that pattern mutation that usually renders a twin-spotted pattern down the back.
