History
We purchased a male Chocolate (possible Super Chocolate) in 2013. In 2014, we bred that animal to a Lesser female and produced Lesser Chocolates and Lesser something else (now called Shadow). The original male turned out to be a super form Chocolate Shadow.
Southern Star Reptiles has been working with the gene since 2014 and has proven it to be a separate gene. The original Shadow Lesser came from an animal purchased as a Chocolate (possible Super Chocolate). The original animal turned out to be a Shadow Chocolate, a super form, and produced either Chocolate or Shadow animals. Since then, we have produced the single gene by itself and a super version that is distinctly different than the original Chocolate Shadow or any Super Chocolate.
