 Is there a name for this pattern?

This is my new female Double Het for Snow (picture is from the website of the breeder she is coming from, I will have her on Tuesday) and I know she has a partial circle back pattern but ... not really sure what to consider the pattern on her tail. Maybe ladder or square? I’m not really sure ... I just think if it’s a genetic thing she’ll be able to produce some nice looking clutches in the future. Any ideas?

Yeah, it’s a laddertail. Nice one too! Laddertails aren’t really dominate or recessive traits, they show up randomly.

Squaretail is a recessive color and pattern morph, and still somewhat expensive.

As far as what she’ll produce in the future...*shrug* that depends in part with what male you decide to pair her up with.

Yush ... I figured. I decided against a full blown circle back to get her because her tail is gorgeous, even if she never passes it on to anyone, I think she looks awesome. Thanks for the input. ^.^
