Kay has an interesting head stamp and may just be hiding something genetically, the fun part about ball python breeding is you never know, maybe even take Ace back to Mom, if you don't have the $ for a new female, or while you are waiting for a juvi to put on size.
Great looking snakes!
Good luck!
We think alike, it would seem. Already I am attempting to pair Ace with Kay (mom) to see if anything will come out of that. I have always suspected Kay might be holding something with that head mark and blushing; just haven't had any offspring to breed her with until this year. :) And yes as soon as Brianna is of size I plan on pairing her with Bryan to see if I can refine the unbroken oval pattern or the black back. I suspect Bryan will produce the black back reliably and since Brianna already has it going on, their babies may just bring it out more.
Poor Jackson seems pretty enough but I'm just not sure what to do with him just yet.
I'm going to think hard and try to choose carefully on the final female since I can afford the space for only one more. I need one breeding size, and I am at least leaning in the direction of the pastel.
