Description: Kosmos is an extreme granite type gene that affects the pattern of ball pythons. It can be extreme, smashing the alien heads into tiny clusters. It also affects the back pattern.
Appearance; What it does/looks like? The alien heads are made into tiny clusters that take on the outline of the alien heads, but they are no longer recognizable. It interacts with many other genes, but even with the other gene involvement, the extreme granite of the gene can be seen.
Head: The head is darker than the normal ball python
Body: The body has the granite appearance completely throughout from neck to tail.
Belly: The belly can vary in pattern.
Tail: The tail has the continued pattern of the body.
Proven Lines: None
Related Genes: None
Proven: The founder has made multiple single gene, combo gene, and supers that have been consistant and predictible.
Unique: There are multiple granite genes, but so far none have done the shattering pattern that this granite gene does. It is more busy than any other gene so far.
Problems: No problems have been reported from the founder and existing breeders
History: The founding snake was an African Import with a unique pattern. After years of breeding, the pattern was proven to be passed on to offspring.
