How do you Identify a "Spector" & "Mystic"?

Thanks for clearing that up for me Albey! The alternate always bugged me, haha.

Cheers,

All of the Major Superstripe breeders that I have personally talked to agree on this including Mark Haas, Anthony McCain, Brian Hahn, Marc Bailey and Clint Billingsley. The confusion started a few years ago when Tom Carlton of Cypress Creek Reptiles listed Superstripe sibs on his available page from a Superstripe to Normal breeding. Either Tom was not confident in his ability to pick out Specter from Yellow Belly or he suspected retained sperm from a previous breeding.

To see how powerful a Superstripe breeding can be take a look at the following post I did here at Ball Pythons.Net. It was a nine-egg clutch from a Superstripe to Pastel Yellow Belly and I produced two Pastel Superstripes, one Pastel Ivory, two Pastel Specters, two regular Specters and two regular Yellow Belly’s. Here is the link. http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...e-Clutch-(DUW)

I hope this helps. :gj:
