My newest addition

[New guy]

I thought I'd share my newest addition as of Saturday afternoon sold as normal but they bought as het red but she didn't prove out . What y'all think?

[fndjason4]

Very cool normal if you can call it that

[SlitherinSisters]

She's cool, do you know how many times they tried proving her?

[RoseyReps]

Isn't het red a morph of it's own? like...putting that with a black pastel will give you a gargoyle / onyx?

[JaGv]

if im not wrong isn't the het reds co-dominant?.

but nice normal

[RoseyReps]

JaGv put my thoughts much more eloquently that myself. Co-dom is what I meant by "morph"

That's what the lady said "het red". I didn't buy her cuz of that I bought her as a normal female breeder and she told me that when I picked her up. And I'm not sure how many times she tried but ill check and let you know.

Do you think there's more going on?

Het reds are a Co-dom morph. They're not recessive. So if the breeder is telling the truth, she is a het red. Not a normal. Check out word of ball pythons to see what het reds make when combo'd with other morphs. One of my favs is het red x black pastel to get the onyx (aka gargoyle). The full name of the morph is Het Red Axanthic. Its confusing that they call a Co-dom a het..but alas, can't change the name now.

You don't "prove out" a het red any more than you prove out a pastel. Here's a guide to the het red gene:
