Where to learn more about the Head Hunter and WOW lines for Jungle Carpet Pythons?

I’m trying to figure out where these lines came from (if possible) and any information associated with these lines (distinguishing traits/patterns/health issues/interesting breeding combos or projects, notable breeders, etc).

  1. Are there recorded documents or studies about these lines? Like in the textbook, The More Complete Carpet Python by Nick Mutton - I have it, just need to check it again)?
  2. Who are the breeders that started those lines (if that’s traceable)?

I have basic lineage information for both my male (WOW line) and female (parents are from Ike Lightner’s Truman and Tamara Highlighter Headhunter pair) JCPs, but that’s about it. I’m new to understanding how lines typically work so any leads would be helpful!!

Your best bet would be to go into the archive of the MPR podcast and search/listen. I am quite certain that in their fifteen years of shows they have covered the topic a few times

Head Hunter was a breeder/seller… I want to say his name was Ken Kaminski… ??
