Super Blast This is a male super pastel pinstripe. The first one I produced. May of 2009. Hope to get him up to size by the fall.
And here is a shot of him with a lemon blast.
Two weeks after he hatched, another clutch of 8 eggs hatched and yielded three more killer blasts. |

Desert Ball Dominant
This is a relatively new morph that does a lot of great things in combination with other morphs, and not everybody has it yet.
This is a 2007 male that is now around 1000 grams and breeding well for me.
There are some amazing combinations out there already! |

Pastel Pinstripe (Lemon Blast) Double mutation: Pastel plus Pinstripe
The genetics of this morph show the synergy of the two morphs that go into it. The combination is much greater than the sum of the two morphs together.
These two lemon blasts hatched May of 2007. |

Pastel Orange Ghost Double morph (August 10, 2004)Orange ghost: simple recessive plus
Blond pastel: codominant
This spectacular male is a double morph of the Creider line blond pastel and the Orange ghost. This possibilities with the male are endless.
Bred to a spider you get bumblebee het ghost. Bred to a spider het ghost you get Honeybees, and Pastel honeybees. I call them Humble bees as they are both honey and bumblebee. |

Pastel (August 10, 2004)Quality is critical when acquiring pastels. You want a line that holds its color into adulthood and does "muddy up" with black flecking.
Codominant.
Breed a pastel to a spider and get bumblebees, pastels and spiders. Breed it to a black pastel and get blacks, pastels and pewters.
I bred a Pinstripe to a pastel and got Lemon Blasts.
Available in 2007. |

Piebald (August 10, 2004)Simple recessive.
Piebald ball pythons are now in great demand, not only for their beauty, but because of all the different combinations they make.
Every piebald ball python has a unique pattern, but the head is never pied. Both low and high white can come out of any piebald python, no matter how much white they have.
Next year I will have double het for albino piebald babies which make the beautiful "Dreamsicle."
Also available in 2007 will be piebald babies. |

Genetic stripe (August 10, 2004)Simple recessive.
Not all genetic stripes are created equal. Many of them have patterns that are not complete. I invested in a male from a line that consistently produces perfert stripes. Feast your eyes in this beauty.
I will have 100% het pairs from unrelated females in 2007. |

Double het snow pair (VPI) (August 10, 2004)My pair of double het snows is a 2001 pair of proven breeders. They have been copulaing non stop until recently, so I suspect ovulation is around the corner.
Two simple recessive morphs were crossed to produce this pair: High contrast albino X Axanthic (VPI strain). When bred togehter they will produce 3/16 High contrast albinos, 3/16 VPI Axanthics, and 1/16 VPI Snow (along with visual normals), statistically.
All of the above available in 2007. |

Pinstripe (August 10, 2004)Dominant.
My male is a proven breeder. This year I will use him to make more pinstripes. Also I will breed him to female pastels to produce 1/4 pastel pinstripes, AKA "Lemon Blasts," a truely beautiful designer morph.
Pinstripes have begun hatching. Pastels and lemon blasts available soon. |

Spider (August 10, 2004)Dominant.
Again, not all spiders are created equal. This line of spiders is absolutely stunning, and they are reminiscent of pinstripes.
Look at the brillian colors and the high white on the sides. This is the spider line that made my Bumble Bee.

Mojave (August 10, 2004)Codominant.
Breeding Mojaves to normals produces half Mojaves and half normals. Breeding Mojaves together gives you more Mojaves plus the super form, an all white snake, the Blue-Eyed Leucistic.

Black Pastel (August 10, 2004)This is from the special Ian G. line. Close to cinammons, but better.
Codominant.
When bred to a pastel you get pastels, black pastels and pewters. Breed the pewter back to the pastel and you get the rare silver bullet.

New Morph This is a male of an unknown morph that was imported by Ben Siegle in 2007. He is about 2 years old, around 1200 grams, and breeding well for me.
His skin feels different than other ball pythons. His scales have a rugose texture. I would know I was holding him with my eyes closed. It's so different from all other ball pythons I have held.
I hatched a clutch of 4 eggs from a virgin 2006 female. The babies do not look like the sire, but they don't look normal either. They seem to rather busy patterns. Every time I open the box to feed or clean them I know I'm looking at something that is not normal. But I have not figured out what this is.
I think my next step is to breed them together, and to breed the sire to a pastel. |
