Re: Butter Het Cajun -- at 4 months
Nice looking snakes... Excuse me for being behind but what exactly is a cajun and do you have any pics of one?
Re: Butter Het Cajun -- at 4 months
I love it when they raise up to get a better look around.

Gorgeous, and I'll second the "What's a cajun?"
Re: Butter Het Cajun -- at 4 months
"Cajun Mommy" on eggs. She is captive hatched and laid 8 eggs that hatched on 4-5-08 -- 2.3 Butter Hets and 1.2 Hets. The entire clutch weighs between 350 -500 grams. You won't be seeing these in the classifieds anytime soon.
Like any of the snakes I have proven, I plan on working with them to find out what they do in combos and whether there is a Super -- if the project is codom. If the project is worthwhile, I believe that any time and energy spent on that project works out well in the long run.
The plan with these is breed the boys back to mom next season as well as a Pastel, a Het Ivory, maybe a Mojave. :) You never REALLY know until you breed them --sometimes more than once -- over 2-3 years -- that is the fun part I think.;)

Momma is certainly a beauty, but what exactly defines a "cajun"?:confused:

Every base morph -- Pastels, Lessers, Albino's, Caramels, Ghosts, etc. originally came from either a wild caught import or a captive hatched animal(born in captivity from an imported/wild animal) that proved genetic(reproduces themseves). These animals need to be named to differentiate them from other snakes. Ball pythons have around 75 proven base morphs(don't hold me to that number:confused:). This number grows every year as new morphs are proven. Hope this helps explain the "name game".:)

Have you proven this "cajun" to be a genetically inheritable trait? I don't think people name a line until they have proven it genetically reproducible. Looks like a nice normal though!
Re: Butter Het Cajun -- at 4 months
After going back and reading your post about the mother, I am completely confused. If you believe it is a recessive trait which you seem to indicate by calling all the babies "het cajun" than why would you refer to it as possibly codominant? Do any of the babies in the clutch look like the mother?
