Black Lace

First produced here serendipitously in 2004, we proved the black lace to be a simple recessive trait in 2006.    As of July of 2007 we have produced three of these beauties.  Although they share similarities with some other ball pythons we have seen, a distinguishing characteristic seems to be the missing or greatly reduced eye stripe.

Piebald

Perhaps the most celebrated and sought after serpents on the planet............ and with good reason!

Albino

The morph that started it all....

Albino Piebald

The two most coveted mutations together in one snake....

Gold Dust Piebald

This is something new that popped out in two different Albino Pied double het. to double het. clutches in 2008. I'm not sure how the genetics work, but it looks like a reproducible  trait... hopefully again in 2009.

Calico

It is unknown at this time if there will be a super form of this incredible mutation.   This is still a rare animal and the combination possibilities remain largely untouched.   The calico trait is quite variable in appearance.  I have seen a very unimpressive calico yield very impressive offspring.

Pastel Calico

The pastel and calico traits were made for each other.   The unique pattern anomalies of the calico become even more exaggerated when combined with the pastel gene.   Who would've guessed the combination would result in such spectacular snakes!

Super Pastel Calico

Super Pastel Calicos are shown in first photo with a Piebald, and in second photo with a Calico and Pastel Calico.

Fire Calico

Fire Calico is shown in photo between two Pastel calicos.

Fire

Fires are the heterozygous form of the Black Eye Lucy.  Because Fires tend to lighten and brighten as the grow, they have excellent combination potential.  I hope to produce a few pastel fires in 2007.

Pastel Fire (aka FireFly)

The Fire gene really cleans up a Pastel, and they get better and better as they age.  These have excellent future combination potential.

Mystic

Proven dominant by Anthony McCain, it is unknown at this time if there is a super form.  Many, including myself, believe that the Mystic will prove to be a Phantom, but until a Super Phantom is produced from the Mystic line, that remains speculation.

Desert

We are excited to be working with this awesome morph. We hope to produce our first Deserts in 2010.

Ultramel

 Originally thought to be a new line of Caramel Albino, the Ultramel has proven to be a genetically distinct mutation. Not only do they start out brighter and cleaner than Caramels, they maintain exquisite coloration into adulthood. In addition, to date, there has been no evidence of kinking. The Ultramel is truly an ultimate ball python!
