    Derma Ball

    Anyone ever keep up with the Derma Ball? I haven't heard anything about it in years. Anyone know if it survived? Ever been bred? Just curious...

    7. If you were to upgrade your collection, which morph would add that you do not already have in your collection? (Allan Riis)
    OK, if I’m dreaming, then I will take a scaleless ball python. There was one several years ago called the Derma Ball and the guy that had it let it die. It is such a great responsibility when you have the only gene in existence and it is a shame that he didn’t send it to someone who would not let that happen. Scaleless Ball Python would be a complete game changer and whoever gets one first just hit the lottery. We know it is genetic. It is only a matter of time before one pops up. Then the bidding war will begin. I already have most of the other genes that I want. In fact, I really can’t think of a single one that I still want and don’t have. This will be a big year for us Banana/Coral Glow wise so I think a lot of people reading this will have an opportunity to add that mutation to their collection. A purple and orange co-dom ball python, it doesn’t get much better. Except for maybe the Atomic.

    Although it's a pity; I just looked it up, and it's a total cutie. I hope another does pop up.

    EDIT: upon further examination, I'd like to inquire on if this might actually be a defect rather than morph. It doesn't have heat pits- might that seriously affect it? Trying to find out how it died

    Thanks for that info. There was always so much drama and rumors about that snake it was hard to tell what was really going on. I wonder how it died. I heard it was bred and they got hets. Wonder if anyone is still trying...

    I've read blurbs that said it hatched without heat pits, and then blurbs that said it had heat pits, they were just hard to see. I saw a pic of it eating...not sure if it was an assist or if it fed on it's own. Wierd stuff...

    I saw pics of it eating rat pups. It ate okay. I did some searching on the forum and pulled up this thread:
    http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...r-if-you-dare!

    I know that Eugene Bissett had a female (I can't recalled what he called his, not derma though - but same thing) and she died this past fall. He talked about her on Reptile Radio a few times, and he did say that her skin tore easily when feeding so he had to be careful of prey size, and had to feed her pre-killed.

    I believe I remember the original owner of the male derma did breed him and produced a clutch (or more) of normal appearing babies and was at one point offering them for sale as het derma. My memory isn't what it used to be, so I may have my facts a bit off, but that's what I recall from a year or two ago.
    Again not sure how either Eugene's or the original male died, but I'm very interested to know- or if anyone ever tried to breed those hets together.

    A guy named Justin savkov had the derma ball. He is a complete scammer and ripped me off $600! One day I will punch him in the mouth!

    I was just looking at a picture of this derma ball, I think the scales on its face make the pits the heat sensing may still be there it just doesn't have pits. I maybe wrong about this though

    If a scaleless corn can survive why can't a scaleless ball survive
