My amazing dinkers! Caution: Dead snake photos. NEW ADDITIONS TO THE PROJECT!

I'm really excited about this pairing. It's two years in the making. I purchased the girl a couple of years ago but she's such a finicky feeder that it took two years to get her up to an acceptable weight. I bought the male last year. He's a 100% het pied and has the truest blacks I've ever seen on a ball python. You can really appreciate the iridescence if you see him up close.

I have little hope that their extreme reduced pattern revolves around a single gene. I know the Urban Python, ProExotics, and others have been playing with the broad stripe thing for a while with no real results. If I produce nice normals than so be it. I'm all about having pretty normals in a collection to spice up the real morphs. Heck, I can't help but think that we didn't have all these crazy line bred leopard gecko morphs years ago. Ball pythons reproduce agonizingly slow in comparison, but it is possible to create some fantastic animals with enough time and selective breeding. So yeah, consider this a life long project of mine, and these two are the founders.

I'm also hoping for bumblebees this year. The female is a 1900 gram pastel, the male is a 1400 gram spider. Wish me luck! This is the first year I've got two pairs going at once, I think I may need a new incubator depending upon clutch sizes. I've got big hopes for the pastel!

Thanks guys! Yeah, it would be nice if the female proved out. The Urban Python has a trio they've dubbed "lavas" that look nearly identical to her. They're hoping to prove the morph out as a recessive this year. I honestly don't think it's a true morph, but it's still fun to play with! With any luck I'll get some eggs in a few months!
