It is what is commonly referred to as an "IMG" (Increasing Melanin Gene) animal. As the animal ages the amount of black pigment increases all over. To date there have not been any "IMG" animals proven genetic (that I'm aware). This female is definitely NOT codom/dom, she's had two clutches the last two seasons with her former owner with a mojave sire, none of the offspring looked "odd".

However, with it being "IMG"...I wouldn't expect them to look much different as hatchlings. All of the offspring were sold, so he's not aware what they might look like. I'll likely hold back any offspring produced from her and try and prove it recessive.

She was bred this year with mainly my cinnamon male, and once or twice with my lesser. She's following the schedule of her last two clutches, and I'll likely get a late July clutch out of her.

My fingers are crossed for a male.:D

This is my one and only ball, i got him at the last expo in white plains NY. Notice the small kink near his neck, because of that "imperfection" i was able to get him for only $300:) i was very happy that day since i had wanted an albino ball for a long time but couldnt afford the regular 600-700 dollar asking price

Here are a couple of favorites, both normal.

A little classic jungle girl I hatched last year. It's not a color/pattern that is reproducible, but it was sure neat to see her hatch out.

And this guy I got from Mike S (8b8ll) last year. He's a real sweet heart and is so inquisitive for a ball python. He also has such a nice gold color and interesting pattern.

Just regular old normals, but I like em...

Here's my first snake ever. I got him as a hatchling 12 years ago and he made it through all my beginner mistakes. :P He's not at all head shy and my favorite by far.

Oh, and love the T pics!
