    Blurry Balls?
    Ive been seeing a few blurry balls lately by users and was wondering what they are? I can tell that there is something different about them, but what makes a blurry a blurry? Is it a dominate trait? Thanks, Matt

    lol @Jknudson it has to do with the way the white and blacks blend together in the flames from what ive seen maybe someone with more knowledge about them will post

    ....its not that complex.... Blurry balls differ from a wild-type animal because whereas a wild-type will have clean pattern distinction between the brown alien heads and black background a blurry will be muddied together with zig-zagged type lines if you will.

    The snakes pattern edges "blurs" together essentially...

    Jon Courtney has posted one of the nicest examples I've seen...

    If you look at that and still don't get it....good luck!:rolleyes:

    So far neither recessive nor co-dom genetics have been proven and they have been around a long time.

    so could it be an anomaly like the paradox

    There is a lot of special looks that are random in ball pythons, Paradox is two genes that are supposed to be turned off, turning on at the same time kind of fighting against each other during the early stages of development so I would say that no Blurry is not like paradoxing more like the original jungle's that just seem to pop out randomly. But there needs to be more breeding done because you never know what will pop out eventually.

    so now its in the trial and error stages of finding out the genetics
