    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Hey Everyone just wanted to get some feedback as to what you guys think this might be. I hatched out a clutch from a pinstripe to a normal and what came out was out of the ordinary and very cool. You guys tell me what you think of this Ball Python. Of course its a holdback until i try to prove out a new gene.
The dad looks like a regular Pinstripe and the mom looks like a regular normal with no markers for hets ... Very Weird. What do you guys think?
Post your thoughts please. Any feedback helps.
I know the only way to tell is to breed them and try to prove them out but until then its fun to try and guess.
The first 2 pictures are brothers from the same clutch.
The last picture is the weird pin after his 3rd shed. Also i have 2 normals that came out extra orange from the same clutch that are also hold backs.
Thanks

Thank You! I will keep posting up pictures so you guys can see how he grows :D He is starting to get "Speckles" through out his body. I will try to breed him Next year when he is ready to a (Non-related female) and see what the babies come out like. Also i wanted to try and breed him back to his mom to see if there might be a super form? His mom looks normal but I believe she is the one carrying the gene because she gave me a clutch of 5 babies and 3 looked odd. I still have time to figure out what I'm going to breed to.

I wonder if its a hidden gene and if it's co-Dom, Dom, or Recessive.
 
i thought about fire but i cant tell with the banded marks because its a pinstripe. Wouldn't a desert have more of a high def yellow? the closest thing i found to it would be the orange dream. i dont think its a platty daddy because it would be silver right?
 
These are the baby photos of the 3 normals from that same clutch.

the first photo is a girl

The second photo is a male

The third photo is a male - the nice one out the group but he died a few days ago. He never ate. I tried to force feed him a few times but he always spat them out. I even tried African Soft Fur and nothing. Poor little Booger.
Look at the stripe on his back he was very clean looking.

I will put up new pics of the first 2 if y'all want they look a little different.

ok here is the thing i didn't know these babies were going to come out like this thinking it was a regular pinstripe, so i sold the dad after the babies hatched. The mom i still have and she is the only one that gave me these babies that look weird so i am hoping its the mom carrying the gene. i had another clutch from the same pin with a different girl and the babies looked normal.

That snake is awesome. You can clearly see the traits from the three in the light pin. Don't know if it's an OD but I would suggest you send an email to Ozzy to see what he thinks. It is different, no doubt. Buy that original male back asap!
 
I'd agree with Bob and say the mother is not an orange dream... However the babies look like you are definitely working with something. It doesn't really look like the orange dreams, however they look like some other orange gene. Good luck with your project.
