(and even a portion of John's face!) join us for this episode of Reptile Genetics Weekly, where we talk about the projects they've been working on! Monarchs, gorgeous yellow Lavender Albinos, and Extreme Red Hogs are part of the fun. 🧬🐍🥳

Since this episode was filmed in advance, this week's sample and testing updates will be available in the video description.

🍀LAST DAY TO ORDER!🍀

Even if you don't have your shed yet, place your order on any 2 Axanthic mutation tests today, and ship when you have the sheds! As long as the order ID was placed in the month of March, we'll honor the ALL AXANTHICS Buy 2 Get 3 Deal!

Lots of folks have been taking advantage of this deal to figure out which strains of Axanthic they have in their collection. Grab yours today! 🧬🐍🧬

We're going to the Dallas NARBC this weekend, and we're collecting sheds there, too! 🧬🐍🥳

Shawn will be repping RGI at the Dallas NARBC, so be sure to say hi when you spot him in the crowd! If you have species or morphs we don't currently test for, submitting shed samples is the only way we can develop future testing. We really can't do this without you guys! 🙏

We'll be accepting shed samples for research, and even for testing if you include the order ID with the samples you bring in!

Looking forward to seeing y'all there!

At long last, the GCR/MJ Axanthic genetic test is LIVE, so we're offering a special on ALL AXANTHICS!

To get your deal, pay for any 2 Axanthic tests through us, then write "ALL AXANTHICS" on the sample bag. Then, we'll run ALL 3 Axanthic tests for you, and they'll all be Fassst Tests with a 1-2 business day turnaround!

This special (not the mutation 😉) runs through the end of March, so be sure to get yours today!

Do you want to see genetic testing for the Boa genus? We do, too! 🧬🐍🥳

If you keep or breed them, known-genetics shed samples are exactly what we need to develop future genetic testing in this genus! With 2025 being the first year we've branched into non-Ball Python morph testing, we want to put Boa morphs on the map, too!

Any Boa species, any known morph, locality, morph combo, and beyond are welcomed (and anything else we don't currently test for)!

Learn how you can send sheds for research at the link below:

Want genetic testing for your Boas? We do, too!

To make this dream a reality, it all starts with shed samples from Boa keepers like YOU! 🧬🐍🧬

Single mutations, morph combos, 100% hets, wild types, localities, and more are needed to help us identify the DNA mutations which create our favorite morphs and traits.

"Does it have to just be Boa constrictors or can it be others in the Boa genus?"
YES to all of the above!

Pssst... If you still need to send in sheds for future morph testing research, this is your sign. 😉✨ Our goal is to move into morph testing (and more!) for new species in 2025! The more known-genetics sheds we have for each species, the easier it is for us to create new tests! We can't do it without your support! 🐍🧬❤ Learn how easy it is by going to the link below: https://raregeneticsinc.com/help/ #shedtesting #morphtesting #reptilegenetics #snakeshedding #pantherophis

Happy Thanksgiving from the RGI Team! 🐍🦃🐍 Our staff are enjoying some well-earned family time today and Friday, but we'll resume Fassst Testing as usual this weekend! (Plus, we're doing LOTS of analysis for future morph tests. 😉) Travel safely and have a wonderful week!

Sending scale clip samples for genetic testing? Be sure to send extras since they're such small samples! 🧬🧬🧬 Get the quick rundown from Dr. Ben Morrill in this short-and-sweet clip (ha) from yesterday's video update! If you want to learn how to get scale clip samples on your own, check out our 1-minute How To video on how to get a scale clipping from your adult snakes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=567XohQ8RTw #shedtesting #reptilegenetics #scaleclipping
