I hatched out him and a female that looks like him... I breed him back to his mom(normal) ... eggs are on day 34....

Here's our adult male kingston at about 1200grams. Don't mention his brown..he's sensitive.

breed the best you've got, but that doesn't mean lower quality animals are totally useless. they are still ball pythons. if what you have on hand is considered low quality, there's nothing wrong with breeding them as long as your directed towards improving your stock.
it's a totally different issue when breeders are focused on production and just churn out clutch after clutch of low quality animals without taking into account that the pastels they produce could be mistaken for normals after a few generations.
