Pied Genetics

I saw one at the show in Chicago last month. It was a very neat looking snake. The messed up pattern of a pied with no white. If they didn't want 1500 for it I would have thought about it. I am waiting on a female for my boy pied for now.

They guy has 2 aswell as some high and low pieds for sale will add some pictures later today of the no white ones.

Either going to try and buy him or a adult spider and female.

No, it would not. A pied has it's own unusual markings and coloration of that of a normal ball python.

ok Well thank you for correcting me. I thought it was just the white that made a pied a pied.

Extreem low white or effectively no white pieds are gorgeous snakes. I have seen a few and there is absolutely no way that you could confuse them with a normal as they have the usual wild pied patterning & orangey colours-stunners.

I never paid any attition to the pattern. Thats prob why I never noticed it.

couldn't you do a cross with an orange ghost to a pied then watch the offspring that have an orange pied look then cross the male pied to a female baby that had the orange pied look till you get the results looking for. yes it might take a few years worth of breeding offspring back to the mom or dad pied but in the long run you should be able to get an orange pied instead of the normal white pied

Heres a photo of the 2 he has.

What do you think of them?

If i bought 1 and bred it with a het pied i should get offspring with more white on them?
