Im not expecting to many replies but Im really keen to know who has any RSP's that are showing signs of a developing lateral stripe marking variation from the head down. Im sitting on something pretty exciting (well I think so anyway) but I need more animals, especially a good male, to really get it happening. I know of a couple in nth queensland but haven't seen any others yet.

For starters that is a cracking photo! Onto the stripe issue Im kinda in the same boat. She will be ready to breed this season coming but I really only want to put a good looking male over her to give every chance of further developing the markings. Her mother has a stripe and one of her brothers but the guy I got her off has kept them to breed together in the future. Luckily for me though my girl had the best stripe and he has given me first dibs on any offspring but I would really love to find another less related male in the mean time. The first one I ever saw with a proper stripe was a nice male belonging to a guy in Cairns but when I tried to talk to him about it he took it the wrong way and I think I scared him off. If Im lucky Ill win lotto soon so I can make him an offer he cant refuse! lol! I tell you what to RSPcrazy, you show me your stripe and Ill show you mine?Just chillin.

I have a big female with this striping, this is something I'm also keen to work on, as I struggle to find many others out there with this striping.
I would of bred her this season, but my male was stollen and I was only able to replace him with a hatchling, which needs time to grow. He should be ready for next season though.

And this is one of my other girls, Emery.
Really? Haha the guy Im talking about works at the zoo! Definitely don't think that's a coincidence! Yours looks very similar to mine. I reckon there is probably a good chance they are closely related. I don't know why but I cant get my pics to come up big like yours though.Funny you should say you saw the striped on in Cairns, I got my female from Cairns tropical zoo. She's going into shed right now, so she's very dull, but I'll see if I can get a photo of the striping tomorrow.
In the meantime, here's an old top view photo of her. It's pretty hard to see the striping from this angle, but it finishes where her neck stops doing an S and starts straightening.
Alright, let's see yours![]()
