the dorsal stripe reminds me of the striping for a GHI Mojave. even the side pattern looks kinda GHI. none of it looks Leopard to me. it would be interesting if the pattern can be duplicated or what comes outta his clutches.
congrats on this unique beauty!

Yeah we plan on trying to prove it out. Hopefully it isn't some weird recessive XD The problem is our only normal female is somewhat of a dinker herself so we're currently planning what the best course of action would be given what snakes we have.

When you get a chance, take a look at some pics of Harlequins. Very similar pattern to yours.

When you ask the breeder about the parents and their genetic background see if he knows anything about the grandparents of your boy. His patterning may come partially from them (grandparentage). Just a thought. :)

Yeah, harlequin does look similar with a few diffeences. If the offspring look like teaditional harlequins it would be safe to say it's a harlequin. Thanks for the tip. c:

I agree.

The guy who bred him actually bought two super fire females from the same breeder years ago when they were still 2.5k each. I dont think he wpuld have the lineage given that it's been so far back. Thanks for the idea though.
