                                      Bubble Gum 
                                      Status: Proven 
                                      Dominant

                                      By Whom: NERD 
                                     
                                      We 
                                      have seen this form in three animals and 
                                      proved it as a co-dominant trait in late 
                                      fall 2002. The White Sided’s coloration 
                                      is very similar – if not identical 
                                      – to the white lateral pigmentation 
                                      on the Spider.

                                    As 
                                      of 2004 The Calico has been produced and 
                                      been proven to be a dominant mutation ( 
                                      so far ) by many breeders. I know of Calicos 
                                      being produced overseas and here in the 
                                      states. The Calico pictured is jointly owned 
                                      by RDR and The Snake Keeper.........a baby 
                                      female Calico was produced from breeding 
                                      the male pictured above to a normal female 
                                      in 2003. NERD, The Snake Keeper, Morton 
                                      Wright, Upscale Reptiles and others have 
                                      produced and started "Calico Projects"............will 
                                      there be a "Super"??......... 
                                    Some 
                                      people think that the "Bubble Gum" 
                                      is a Super Calico...........some names that 
                                      are associated with the Calico are....... 
                                      Bubble Gum, Chicklet, White-Sided and Sugar............who 
                                      ever thought that this would be genetic?? 
                                    I 
                                      believe that a "Bubble Gum" is 
                                      actually a cross between a Calico and a 
                                      Yellow Belly.
