Well, I ordered a pair Kalabash morph ball pythons for Christmas, but the breeder and I decided to put off shipping even longer, because of the current cold weather patterns. Neither of us is in a rush, because the health of the snakes is most important. I may not be getting the snakes until sometime in January.
A Kalabash heavily-reduced/black-banded male, and a Kalabash Enchi Het Pied female, with a very unique pattern. They are both subadults, so I am getting established snakes that have been hand-raised by the breeder himself since birth, the male is already breeding age, and the female will be ready for 2018!

I love reduced patterns of the "normal" black and gold coloring, (normal black and gold royal python color will always be my favorite) and after browsing lines of genetic banded pythons, I deduced that the Kalabash gene is the best-looking reduced morph breeding line. It was tough choice, as blades and other genetic banded lines came in a close second.
Here is the male Kalabash, 2014 birth, over 500 grams:
The female is Kalabash Enchi Het Pied, and is a really unique one, to be pictured here soon enough...
