Caramel Albino It seems that Caramel Albino Ball Pythons are Tyrosinase + meaning their body can synthesize Tyrosine but not Melanin. The result is an animal that is essentially "amelanistic" but still maintains a darker more contrasted appearance. Tyrosinae + animals tend to show a "purple" coloration where an Amelanistic specimen would show "white". This gene is also simply recessive. Also known as "Xanthic" Ball Pythons , male 350 female 400 pair 700
Albino • Albino Ball Pythons represent "amelanism" for their species. This genetic trait doesn't allow the body to produce "Melanin" (black pigment) resulting in a yellow and white animal. This gene is simple recessive. the price for 1 male will be £200 and female $250
Spider (Spider Webbed) •. what a cool one this is! Spider seems to be a pattern/color morph. This gene displays a head pattern similar to Clowns, greatly reduced "zig-zag" dorsal and side patterns and this COOL white speckling about halfway up the side from the bottom up! This gene seems to be "dominant" as opposed to "incomplete dominant" since no "Super" has been produced from "Spider" to "Spider" breedings.male £210 female £250 pair £400
Axanthic This gene represents "axanthism" in Ball Pythons. Axanthic Ball Pythons lack the ability to produce "Xanthophores" (yellow pigment). The resulting animals are typically "silver" and "black" as hatchlings. Axanthic Ball Pythons still have the ability to produce black and red pigments which cause most of them to gain a "brownish" coloration as adults. There are currently 3 different proven genetic lines of Axanthic Ball Pythons All three of these are simply recessive and have shown to be incompatible thus far Male--£260, Female--£300
Genetic Stripe • This gene also has a drastic pattern variation with no affect on coloration. Genetic Striped Ball Pythons seem to have little to no side pattern and a yellow dorsal stripe bordered by one black stripe on each side. It is possible to have a Genetic Stripe with a broken dorsal pattern. This gene is simple recessive., male £200,female £250, pair £400
Clown • A perfect example of a pattern variation that has not had its coloration affected... Clown Ball Pythons are typically "black-backed" and they are simply recessive! Oh... don't forget about the WHACK head pattern... hence the name!single male £180 female £200, pair £300
Super Pastel Jungle • This gene is the same as Pastel Jungles but this is the "homozygous" form. Super Pastels are basically an extreme from of Pastel Jungle. They appear lighter and brighter than their "heterozygous" counterpart. Breed Pastel to Pastel and get a few of these... Super Pastel to Super Pastel and get ALL these! Male £250,female £300, pair £500
Platinum (Lesser platty) • This gene seems to be dominant so far... one odd catch... These "Lesser" Platinums do not appear the same as their father, the original sire male from Africa. The original male is NOT a Super form of this gene. When bred to normal females they produces both "Lesser" Platinums and normals. Perhaps there is another gene shown in the original male ?!? That would be CRAZY... I guess we will all see this season... male £400 ,female £450, pair £800
Pastel Jungle • Ok... here it is... the first Ball Python gene to be proven "incomplete dominant!" Pastel Jungles seem to have an enhanced contrast in which "black" is "more black" and yellow is "more yellow." When bred to a normal, some of the resulting offspring will show with the same traits as the parent "Pastel(s)". Breed two "Pastels" together and possibly get SUPER PASTELS!male 200 female 250 ,pair 400
Piebald • Piebald Ball Pythons... WOW! What a gene! Where do we start on this one... perhaps its weird "double-line" striped pattern or maybe the subtle but attractive BOLD white splotches ALL over its body?!? This morph will get anyone excited! The Piebald gene produces a variable amount of white on the animal which can cover hardly any or nearly all of the body BUT never on the head. The skin in the white areas lack "chromatophores" (the skin cell that holds pigment)... so they are not a dirty yellow color when they grow up but WHITE! Also note the fact that Piebald Ball Pythons never have a normal pattern in their "non-white" areas. This incredible gene is simple recessive. And no two piebald are the same male £400, female £450,pair £800
Mojave • This is an interesting gene that seems to affect both pattern and coloration. The pattern of Mojave Ball Pythons seems dorsal oriented, perhaps a few small steps from a possible "Motley" Ball? The yellow coloration seems to be brighter than normal and contrasts well with the dark brown. This gene is inherited dominantly, it has not yet had the chance to be proven or disproven "incomplete dominant." Male 180, female,200 , pair 300
Lavender Albino • This form of Albino has been proven simple recessive. The "white" areas of this morph have a nice "purple-blue" tint to them and seem to maintain a nice contrast as they grow. It is still unknown if this morph shares genetic compatibility with standard Albinos or what causes the "Lavender" coloration.male 350, fem
