Several years ago I acquired a cool dark female I just called my Dark Dinker. Some people thought she looked like a Chocolate, and most who saw her liked her look. I produced a Mojave male from her a few years ago and bred him back to her the last two years. I have what I feel is a new morph with a Super. The Vern Ball, as I am calling it, is characterized by nice dorsal and side flames, a high amount of peach under the brown on the side patterns, a clean and unusual belly, a unique star looking head pattern, and a clean, no alien head pattern as you get to the tail end (last like one-third of the body). I have posted a few pictures next to a normal colored Ball. The only cross so far is a Mojave. Based on the three total clutches so far, I believe I have hatched out at least 5 babies I am calling the single gene Vern Ball, and one I believe is the Super form. Based on my breeding's so far, it looks like my female is the actual Super form. Any comments pro or con?
