Just for Fun...Here is a photo of my Double Het x Double Het clutches together:

You will be seeing each one of these snakes post-shed in upcoming Snakes and Stones photos. ;)

I was mapping out some of my matings for next season.

I know that Gravel and Yellowbelly are supposed to be nearly impossible to distinguish from each other, however, if you compare clutch mates--that is a different story.

I am only planning on breeding Het Gravel males next season. I have two males Pastel/Lesser/Het for Gravel or Yellow Belly.
I was looking at them, and c'mon: 'Indistinguishable?'.
Maybe in more complicated combos it gets obscured, but even with Pastel and Lesser in the mix it is pretty obvious to my eyes now:

Ignore everything else and look at the difference in yellow and black pigment saturation between the two.
Yellow Belly has more yellow. Gravel has more black. Simple. :)

BP = 66% Het Clown/66% Het Lavender Albino (Double Het parents - genetics working as expected) :)
Stone = Montana Agate

I can count over 35 different types of stone from all over the world in the photo above. :)

Stone = Red Plume Agate from Western USA.

Right now I'm hatching out my Clutch #9 which was a cross between a Special/Het Monsoon x Mojave/Ghost.
I can't afford to retain every hatchling that is 50% Het Monsoon this season...so I was hoping to find some sort of marker to help me ID.
Here are the first three hatchlings:

Statistically: One of these should be Het Monsoon.

The Crystal ball python (Mojave/Special-the whitish one-on the left) is pretty much impossible to examine in detail until it gets larger and the markings darken.

The Special ball python on the bottom has a lot of orange spreading up the sides...this is my first time working with the Special Gene...I don't see anything too unusual about this one...but I haven't examined very many in-person.

The Mojave ball python (in the center) is obviously wrong. It has a yellow hue, an overall light brown saturation, and a confused patterning. Looks like a 'winner' to me. :D
