That’s a nice looking snake! I have a pos het Rainbow Chocolate GHI Mojave that I hope proves out, I just wish that het Rainbows weren’t so rare and expensive so I could speed up the process lol.
Because I have no idea if there is a difference of the availability of the Rainbow gene between the regions.
While it’s still expensive,
I see more and more people in Europe starting to work with the gene.
They do mainly keep them as holdbacks.
But I predict more of them will start selling The Het Rainbows and Rainbows once they made some higher level combos.
I’m saving up for a 100% Het Rainbow female For him. (Would be even better if the female is also 100% het Ghost)
But if he is ready to breed before that female is ready.
I’m gonna pair him to my proven breeder Cinnamon 100% het Ghost lady.
I’m pretty sure I’m gonna have some holdbacks in the future.
I live in the US sadly, I tried to get a het Rainbow male from a breeder in Europe but the shipping was going to cost around $200 . I plan on pairing her to my Pastel possible Chocolate Desert Ghost male if I can’t find a nice 100% het Rainbow male for her. I could get some neat stuff from that, and they will all be at least 100% het for DG! It’s kinda funny because I didn’t originally buy her because of the pos het Rainbow thing, I bought her because I wanted to make some GHI Mojave combos and she was almost breeding size, but then I started to look up stuff about the Rainbow gene and now I want to prove her out lol. Can you imagine what a Chocolate GHI Mojave Rainbow would look like? I think it would look amazing!
I found this on Instagram, I believe that it’s just a single gene Rainbow. You can find more pictures by searching #Rainbowballpythons on Instagram. A lot of people that work with it seem to like putting Enchi and Hypo into it as well.
Yeah, that’s the problem lol. A part of me wants to prove her out since it is such a rare gene, but another part of me just wants to get a Candy or Lavender Albino male for her to save some money lol
200$ Transport for a 1000€ or something snake Is not that all bad.
It would be neat to see some chocolate Ghi Mojave Dessert Ghost rainbows.
Your story reminds me of the breeder I got mine from.
He originally wasn’t planning on breeding rainbow.
But he wanted Disco.
And he bought a poss het Rainbow one from the USA.
Seems like he proved that snake out.
He really is into ghost.
Check him out if you wana see some awesome Ghost combos.
But I have to say the breeder where I got it from gave me a good deal.
Still expensive but way better price then someone else. They where selling Wildtype 100% het Rainbows 100% Albino for the same price as my new snake.
But my mind was made up before I even knew the price difference.
That’s the person I tried to buy a het Rainbow from actually. They seemed really nice, they told me to talk to Susquehanna Ectotherms and see if they could hook me up with a het Rainbow and shipping would be less expensive.
