History
In 2007 I bought a weird looking ball python female from an import out of Africa. It took me a few years until she gave me the first clutch. In that clutch there where two babies that look like the same as their mother the original female.
I grew up the babies and over the years I tried to breed that new gene to different other morphs. The result was that I got some stunning lokking ball python combos! In 2025 I discovered that there is a super form as I bred two Mahatar together.
