I'm really excited for your project. They are coloring up very nicely. I'm wondering, as you are, just how far the yellow will increase.

Thanks so much for working with them. It makes all the work we did getting the original imports in worth it.

I always loved the blue headed greens. They were always one of my favorite tokay morphs. So, the opportunity to make them even better looking with the addition of the yellow feet/legs has been a lot of fun for me. I can't wait to see what we end up with 5 years from now in tokay morphs with all of the effort being put into them these days. I'm still hopeful that over the next few generation, I'll be able to increase the yellow in these guys. To what degree, I have no idea though.

I've noticed that some of the Granite have yellow patches in them. It would be interesting to see if that gene is the same.

Ok its set. I will be getting a couple morphs lol. time will tell what i get and where. as far as what idk. im sure you guys would be more then happy too help me in the future! id love too be a part of this even if it is on a much smaller scale. my 5 yr old daughter has shown a huge interest in reptiles we currently have a pair of tokay. and male/female juvenile siblings from there first and only clutch last year since i seperated her after reading about the wc having the kidney problems with breeding and will not be breeding her again and letting her live her life out easy in the pvc tubes. the juves are currently 5 months and are in a 10 gallon vertical conversion. The female juvenile has really taken a liking too being held with the occasional im gonna jump 10 feet too stick on the tv lol. The male not at all. lol. he sees me coming and is out of sight in his cork tube never too be grabbed lol. we also have 3 leapord geckos and 2 turtles.. you can see where the love comes from lol. so yeah end rant but. all in all. i WiLL be getting 2 tokay morphs. And they will be named by a 5 year old lol. cant wait too here these names haha

and as far as the pic goes. i think that may just be my new favorite... the contrast of the yellow feet is awesome! since its patternels is it a simple recess?? if it were to breed with a normal male would it make all hets? then a het male breed back too the patternless have a 1/4 chance of visual right?

No, A het back to a visual recessive like patternless would produce 50% visual and 50% hets. Only when you breed two hets together do you get 25% visual, 50% het and 25% normal.

I'll borrow NERD's wonderful work and illustrations again to show you how it works:
New England Reptile Distributors, designer Ball Pythons, Reticulated Pythons, and much more!
