Candy Stripe morph in a nutshell (as I understand it) |
|
Candy Stripes are
quite new and not totally understood yet. As of this
season, there have been 5 total litters produced (six if you include
the litter Zoe and Ziggy came from) The trait appears to
be an incomplete dominant where "Candy Stripes" have one Candy
gene with a minimal expression and "Super Candy Stripes" have
two Candy genes and a significantly higher expression.
1) The original pair, Zoe and Ziggy, produced their first
litter in 2011 with something amazing in the pile of babies.
There were four babies with insane full body striping (Super
Candy Stripe) nine others with connected dorsal "zig-zag"
stripes like mom and dad. (Candy Stripe) and a few normals.
2) A repeat pairing of Zoe and Ziggy in 2012 resulted in a smaller litter
with similar results, 2 Super Candy Stripes, 4 Candy Stripes and some normals.
3) Ziggy paired with Calamity, a Hypo female in 2014 produced
some Candy
Stripe Het Hypos and normal Het Hypos.
4) Charlize paired this year with Zeke, both Candy Stripes from
the first two pairings of Zoe and Ziggy, produced a litter of three Super Candy Stripes, eight Candy Stripes and
two normals (See these available babies below). Right on
track with what Mom and Dad produced.
5) Jamie, Het Hypo, paired this year with Denzel, Candy het Hypo,
produced two Hypos, seven Candy Stripes, five normals and one I think
is a Hypo Candy Stripe (low expression) |

One gene "Candy Stripe" visual expression |
|
Candy Stripe traits
are as follows and may or may not not be present in all individuals |
 |
Broken center Head Stripe -
Very typical but not present in a litter that is two generations
away from the original pair. |
 |
Connected dorsal
saddles - some more than others. On the left is Zadier, the
individual with the most
connected dorsal patterns to date. |
 |
Bubble neck - the first
dorsal pattern is sometimes connected to the outer head stripes with the
"anchor" at the end of the middle head stripe missing.
On the left is Zsa Zsa with a very clear "Bubble neck"
pattern. Sometimes it's only one side making what looks
like bubble letters. |
|
|
Two gene "Super Candy Stripe" visual expression |
|
So far, all the Super
Candy Stripes have the following traits... |
|
Full body striping.
There appear to be two color ranges, bright orange and black or tan and
black. |
 |
Pink tongue |
 |
Split frontal scale |

Shown are two pics of each baby, first normal,
second with flash |
|
This litter while
having Candy Stripes, none of them have the split head stripe.
Could be influence from the Hypo line or from two generations of
outcrossing from the original line?? Denzel is a lower
expression Candy Stripe Het Hypo so that may also have some
influence in the outcomes?
Side note: funny how after going through them and evaluating for
Candy Stripe, I end up with 8 Candy Stripe and 7 not Candy
Stripe, right at the 50/50 mark... ;- |
