: : I noticed that several of Don's cobras have the cobra body pattern without any pattern in the tails whatsoever--cobra or otherwise. Weird. I always thought the 2 patterns were genetically linked.
: : Mirra

: That reinforces the idea that there are separate genes for tail pattern and body pattern as well as tail color.

By chance one of the first cobra strains I isolated and fixed was what I now call canary cobra. Cobra body pattern but clear tail. I used this strain in some of my first inter-color crosses and at the time was very pleased with the phenotype. Now I am back-tracking and re-introducing the cobra tail pattern into these strains.
