Introducing Super Pastel Drip

Pythons Ball Pythons

A little surprise from one of our pairings this year. This appears to either be incomplete dominant, with this being the “super form” or polygenic. Named dually for the drippy appearance of the pattern and because she’s got that drip!

Her clutch mates also appear to share characteristics of the mutation with her, but not to this extreme.

The pairing was Super Pastel VPI Gstripe x Pastel het Gstripe pos het VPI
First which one do you think is carrying the Drip gene? The sire or dam? Also I would love to learn more about it!

Thank you,
