Im in love with that pattern and how dark he is but in your case u could always breed for the ATTITUDE.

I could see myself trying to unload any of his evil spawn.
Well, their alien heads are majorly messed up. And if you really like being bitten, then these are the snakes for you!

I have a Crested Gecko like that - He's not good looking, he's a male and he has a bad attitude, but for some very odd reason, I love him. He was a rescue from Petco. He thinks he's a half tamed Tokay.
My first (and so far only) Ball Python is also a male Het Albino with no papers, though his pattern isn't as cool as Darth Jackass's. ;) He is dark like your's, though - maybe it's a het albino thing? I won mine (with a tank) at a raffle. :)

He's supposedly het albino. I'll get better pictures of him in a few days. He has an interesting face, the dark is very dark and the light parts are very light. Lots of contrast.
I dunno, he might be fun to dink around with. Maybe breed him to a normal female to see if he passes on his cool markings to any of his offspring. If you got a daughter that looks like him, you could raise her up and breed her back to see if there's an interesting Super form.
I think he's pretty darn interesting, though considering how grouchy he was with the stuck shed, he's going to be a terror when in blue.

He's shifted his focus and quit trying to bite. Currently the only thing on his mind is food. I gave him a rat and he's still looking for more.

I had to pull Darthie out of his house--I don't like to disturb a snake who has just eaten but this snake has crapped an amazing amount in the few hours I've had him.
This shows his pattern pretty well. After drinking for 10 minutes and eating two small rats he seems more content and he was agreeable to sitting still for a few seconds to have his picture taken. He's not biting anymore either. This pic doesn't show his contrasts all that well. I'm going to get some of him in natural light once he's settled in. Please excuse the old ratty comforter. As much as he's crapped today, Darthie isn't going to be sitting on any "good" surfaces for a while.
Darthie has become my "garbage disposal" snake. Anything that the established snakes refuse gets taken over to the "cootie cage" (quarrantine cage) and presented to Darth.
He ate 3 rat pups tonight. 2 of his own (he will do a small, but I'm using the pups up) and one that the picky mojave didn't want.
