DaVinci Pied

Has anyone seen this? I don't know how long the ad will last - so hopefully enough people can see it.

I love the markings - but I'm unclear if it's just an interesting pattern in a pied - or a "new line" so to speak.

Anyone heard any discussions on them and any future potential?

Under TOS, I am not posting this to start any speculations or criticisms of the seller - just to discuss morphs and a "different" looking pied.

that's a cool looking pied! i don't think it is 10k cool lol. imo, as random as pied patterns are, i would guess that is just the way that one turned out. time will tell, genetic or not it is cool. the name is a little tacky, imo.

Why does that now show a link back to my Pretzel and Bailee feeding thread?


Doesn't a moderator normally note when they've changed a link?

Here's the link again - Link:

pieds are really growing on me. that one is also very neat. i cant get over how bright the white looks on them.

Good lord that thing is cool...but since a pied's markings are random and not genetic, I don't understand why someone would pay 10k for that one. I mean, it's supremely cool...but...

I would pay 10k for that, if i had 10k..lol



"normal" 80% pieds go for around 8k anyway. So that "special" one, to me is worth it.

And...That high white pied can throw low white pieds, just as a low white pied can throw high whites.

Its all what the parents look like, not just the current, but the past generations of them.

Pure marketing.

That's what I thought - just wanted to make sure. Very cool markings, nonetheless!

I saw that one a while back, too funny!

This has been around for a while now and seems to be growing in the classifieds. Sellers naming their snakes for marketing purposes only. Bubble gum this, Candy that, etc, etc. 99% of the time it's just to set their snakes apart from the rest in the classifieds, make it pop.

The thing is, it works! You were so interested in the ad/name that you linked it here and others will link it elsewhere asking the same questions. It generates a buzz and gets their snake/ad to more people.

Just don't confuse those with the actual mutations called "bubble gum" and "candy" ... they are the real deal ... hot stuff for sure! ;)
