New ball pythons morphs/mutations

Albino clown.......pied spider......sigh.

I REALLY need to win the lottery. :bawling:
 
Thanks Dan.

There is a new book on ball pythons coming out in the next couple months, written by Kevin McCurley of NERD and published by ECO. It has a ton of color pics of every existing ball at this point. They got pictures of NERD, RDR, Reptile Industries, Amir, BHB and a bunch of other collections to encompass everything. It will be a paperback in the $15 range.
 
Thanks for the tip Evan. It sounds like a "must have". Please let us know as soon as you know it's in the market.
Regards. :)
 
It will be a total bummer if the pied can't be combined with other mutations. A spider pied could be really interesting.
 
Yes it would, some of those combinations would look certainly incredible. Besides, it will keep the ball morph market moving with new and exciting combinations. In all honestly I'm looking forward to being wrong.

Regards.
 
Has anybody else been reading RDR's journal lately? He has a bunch of eggs on the ground that should have some more blue eyed leucistics in them as well caramel albino x lavender albino, double het albino stripe x double het albino stripe and more. I think it is going to be a HUGE year for Ralph.
 
I talked to Bob today and he told me that he will have the new ball python book mentioned earlier in this thread, ready in time for the breeders expo in Daytona, in August. He is finishing it up now and leaving a few open spaces for photos in case anything cool hatches in June or July before the show so he can add it in last minute.
 
i cant wait to see all the crazy things that come out in the next 8 years. there may be more ball morphs then any other species morph known. i think any of those combinations are possible if you try them. also looking forward to the august daytona show.
 
Jeff, you don't have to wait 8 years, I'm pretty sure there are already more ball variants than any other kind of animal we have seen and each year there will be a bunch of new ones. Most species have run their course. There are a couple new boas and burms but they will only go so far and demand for the burms will be low as people have really left the big snakes as governments all over the country ban them. Cal kings and cornsnakes don't have too many places left to go, do they? I just saw Tracy Barker selling double het lavender albino clown balls! It is just endless at this point.

I think the book will be a terrific item for Bob at the expo.
 
yeah i did notice how in one year they kinda had a ball python BOOM and everything new just appeared at once, but as i and everyone else suspected, for the people who found them and had them to be able to provide that much information about them on the spot like that deff told you that they had them long enough for research. im sure they are still doing it to us now. when alot of us may think we know what they are doing back in there snake warehouses, when we have no clue as to what crazy innovative things are being tryed, but hell im willing to wait to see as to what new combinations will be produced.
 
Just saw Pete Kahl has a female spider het pied yearling and a yearling pair of double het hypo pieds for sale. So those two new mutations should happen either this year or next.
 
If the stripe X pastel is even close to what the stripe has done to the yellowbellies, they will blow away what's happened so far. What about ghost pastel X stripe? Or stripe pastel X yellowbelly? Yellowbelly X pastel first I guess. The pastel trait will continue to rock the ball python world. Pastel's make every thing better.
 
VPI popped out the super spotnose (needs a better name but it is hot!)

eggs have been laid at RDR's for Platty x pied

eggs also on the ground now for axanthic x pied

things are really happening this year!
 
Over all its the piebald that amuses me, because of the patternless milk white & norm color, and so far it has yet to be duplicated, (patternless with one solid color whatever color it my be) the piedball morph is absolutely unique.

I will have to agree with you, and side with the majority on that one. If not look at the results of the poll!

Regards.
