The Striker gene [DONE]

I dont think Zebra and Striker is the same although they do look alot alike. Zebra cleans the belly almost completely and whitenes the belly whereas Striker really gives a crazy belly. Also I feel with Striker the blushing is more prominent and the blacks in the snake is darker and stays dark

Enchi looks nothing like BlkPastel

Spider looks nothing like Blackhead looks nothing like Champagne looks nothing like Cypress

Phantom looks nothing like Bamboo

Just because things have a minor difference (or not so minor, as some of my above illustrate) in appearance from one another does not, by default, mean they are not alleles of the same gene

Given the remarkably similar appearance between Striker and Zebra, I do not think it is an unreasonable question to ask

Do you know if anyone has taken the initiative of breeding Striker to Zebra?

This is a really late follow up…
But the genetic testing has finally been done. It still could possibly be part of a complex including zebra, but genetically it has proven to be a different mutation.

Appreciate the follow up, Christina

I am still curious if it may be allelic but it is good to have confirmation that they are not identical mutations
