Hello! Ball Python breeder, and more

[wantmorereptiles]

Hi everyone. I am a ball python breeder in Canada.

I have been obsessed with reptiles and amphibians, and all nature, since I can remember. Still have the Audubon guide to Reptiles and Amphibians of North America from my elementary school library.

Projects I am currently into are:
Desert Ghost Clown Hypo
Genetic Stripe Enhancer Clown
Pied Desert Ghost Hypo

And others as well. Lots of Orange dream.

Always happy to talk projects, or any related topic on reptiles and amphibians.

Some other favorites:
Alligator snapping turtle
Matamata
Soft shell turtles
Barbour’s Map turtle
Morelia
African bullfrog
Dart frogs

Looking forward to getting to know fellow enthusiasts and breeders!

I like that hypo summa
I love patternless snakes, you will learn that being part of the forum.
What is the white and black one? It is gorgeous!

He is a Powerball Leopard get Desert Ghost, 66% het Pied, and 50% het Hypo.

Spotnose Desert Ghost double het Pied Hypo x Leopard Pastel Spotnose het Pied.

That pairing brought a few surprises. I had no idea of the het Pied, and both parents were from different breeders.

The next season, I paired the Spotnose Desert Ghost (now known het Pied) to a het Desert Ghost female. There were two Hypos in the clutch.

Next season, I paired the male surprise Pied het Desert Ghost to a Desert Ghost female. The clutch provided Desert Ghost Hypo 100% het Pieds.

With this info, the Spotnose DG was proven dh Pied Hypo, and his son Pied dh DG Hypo.

With some ups and downs on odds with other projects, this project has been an absolute blessing.

Man I hope when I start breeding I get all these surprise genes! You definitely produce some beautiful stuff!

Crazy story with that girl. I’ll share a post on her. She is a Batman with an extra dose of Spotnose. Absolutely love that girl! She’s getting up to the 1000g mark now.
