AK Morphs 2022 Season

Pythons Ball Pythons
, , ,
1

Hey guys,

Welcome to the 2022 season thread for AK Morphs. I know last year I did this kind of backwards where I posted all the clutches that had already happened, but this year I’m going to try and do it as they come out of the egg and post pictures after their first shed.

This is my second ever season/year of breeding Ball Pythons and I’ve got some weird combos going on. I also moved out to the middle of nowhere Texas with my entire collection while girls were locked, gravid, etc. (so I will be sharing if I believe the clutches will go or not) and any issues that arise. As always I am here to share the good, the bad, and the downright confusing when it comes to breeding.

I will not be posting any hatchlings up for sale this season (and any season moving forward) until they are 100 grams in size. I want them to have some good weight, and be ready to ship out if someone purchases the snake. You’ll be able to find all of my available animals here.

The list below will be updated as each female lays so you can follow along on which clutch was laid. I would also like to make note that the pairings with ‘Clown’ as the male (male x female) could stand for either; Clown, Killer Batman, or Pewter Spotnose Clown. I will update the clutch, and post who the father was once the babies have come out of the egg!

So without further ado here is my pairing list for the 2022 season:

Clutch Results:
Egg 1: Het Clown (only male)
Egg 2: Pastel het clown

Cool tidbit: The pastel clown female will be replacing her mom in 2-ish years or so. She’s got a very wonky pattern going on and her head stamp reminds me of Chinese dragon eyes. She’s very cool imo!

That last picture is awesome. Wish it was mine. I know it won’t breed out that way, but would make for a nice show snake.
