Looking for subtle traits like this just requires an eye for it, yes, the original female was an CH baby I grabbed back in 2006. The Hydra offspring are actually not very hard to pick apart from a normal. They all have a certain type of banding and jagged neck striping that is very noticeable right away and in the combinations it shows itself VERY clearly. If you were to put the Hydra vs. the Hydra Fires right next to each other, you'll be able to see the same pattern systems throughout the body. I'll be getting comparison shots shortly, as well as showing some more Hydra combinations I've hatched out. So expect to see more! :gj:
This project has so much potential to do so many amazing things, I'm looking forward to seeing what is pulled out of it in the future. We're just starting to open the possibilities!
I cannot post pricing on here, but I will say I will have these available this year.
Thanks again everyone!
I can't wait for the comparison shots. I too have a hard time seeing much difference in the hydra from a normal (until it goes into combos that is). Going to be studying these to hopefully eventually develop an eye for this stuff too. Thank you for sharing!
Re: Introducing: Hydra Ball Python
how does one tell if they have a hydra form a regular pet store sold as a normal? first this store mixed it up and sold me the wrong snake they sold me the "normal" the place of the 100% het pied but then when i showed them the het pied markers they said oh we mixed them up... so wanted me to bring back the other i said no i love him already i will buy both...so they sold him to me...of course i don't trust anything that they have sold me now i have purchased 4 through them and question everyone as the other snake they sold me as a pastel has het clown markers...my normal looks EXACTLY like the hydra shown please teach me what to look for? thank you
