granite ball python ???

at those prices I would consider them normals unless they come with paperwork and guarentee. 100% het pieds go for 400ish for females alone.

Consider the Granites to be Standards until proven otherwise.

I don't trust a het (with markers or otherwise), unless from one of the top reputable breeders, and even then until proven, its a risk.

Granites are actually a codom. And the 50% het is something that she will have fun proving out.
Granites should have a clear belly and fairly distinct speckling in the side pattern. Jons guide is the easiest way to explain it lol.

I thought that the Granite had yet to be proven beyond its own lines.... But I am mistaken. :gj:

So whats going on here? I wanna see some granite pictures!! :P

Heres some pics and an explanation on Jons site;http://www.nextworldexotics.com/hggr.htm

I have a granite female from a proven line but not sure yet if its codom or just dom. As you can see she doesnt have alot of speckling but her overall look is definitely not normal. So far she has a date with a sugar for next year...:)

I haven't forgotten! We're going to take pics Thursday because they're feeding Tuesday and it'll have been a week on Thurs since we picked them up (wanted to give the new gals and guy a chance to get a bit settled in their new home). The het for pied female is a pretty one tho and good size, will be ready for breeding this fall! I was thinking about hooking her up with Dante (our lemon pastel) just for fun! yay so excited! we can't wait to try our hands at this! and the granite pair are nice too - can't wait to prove them out (keeps fingers crossed) - but even if they don't, they're cuties and keepers for sure! the granite female will be ready for breeding this fall too. It's like a continual science project! (gawd we're such dorks!) :P

Make sure you get belly shots of that poss het pied!!!
I'm sure someone on here can tell you if it looks like it has the markers;
I only have one 100% het pied but I'll let you know what I think too lol:snake:
