voodoo??

Is there such a morph as a voodoo?? I haven't been able to find anything on them but some on says they got 3 of them.

Unless they have photos, pics of them breeding, hatching and is proven, it doesn't exist. Personally I don't think they should name dinks before they're proven out.

that should be the pic of "said voodoo"

I've never heard of it. Is there a superform or something exciting that comes from breeding 2 together?

I have heard of it once, a while back. Some kind of WC someone was trying to prove or claiming they had maybe? Personally, I never knew exactly what it was supposed to be, or what they had bred to try and prove it. If I remember correctly, the consensus was someone sticking a fancy name on a normal and trying to justify charging a ridiculous amount for it, even though it had not been crossed into any morphs nor had a super been made.

I think it was around 3 or 4 years ago that I heard about it briefly, then nothing. Which I had always figured meant it didn't prove out as whoever it was had hoped.

Ya i kinda figured as much. Thanks

The Voodoo is a melanistic animal that Tim Lane of Ballroom Pythons was working with. You can read more at this link: http://www.ballroompythons.com/ballp...n&Breed=Voodoo. Tim has had to stop working with Ball Pythons due to a medical condition. I am not sure what his final conclusion about the Voodoo gene was.

I don't remember whether Tim came to a conclusion, but this was one wicked snake in person!

Just before Tim got out of Ball Pythons, I was at his place talking with him about various animals in his collection. He did say that the Voodoo project started with 2 really dark males importeed from Africa. He was never able to fully reproduce the extremely dark founding animals, but did notice that anything that the males bred had darker offspring. I think he was still trying to decide if this was a true genetic trait, or more of a line breeding result. I do know that I got a male Sable from him that was produced by a female that was sired by one of the original founding animals and that my Sable is both darker and has a much more pronounced black back than other sables that I've seen. There were 3 male Sables and 1 female Sable in this clutch, all darker and with black backs when compared to a typical Sable.

Here's a picture of Tim's original Voodoo. This is a breathtaking animal in person. My pic on this burlap bag does nothing for her looks in person.
