Piebald Lines?

Brian Sharp had the first Pied...It died and he got another one in...He then traded that one to Pete Kahl before ever breeding it...Jon

Adam, not sure if Ernie ever reproduced a Piebald, just know he was one of the early pioneers with this morph. :)

Pete augmented his pied group with Ernies animals after he produced his first pied clutch from a pied x pied breeding I think???

Well, Pete certainly is the guy that produced the first pieds ... I'm just unsure if anyone produced hets before he did ... I always thought it was Cal Zoo that got the first pied in and sold it for like $8 or some ridiculous amount?

Soooo much ball python history in such a short amount of time ... nice to see you helping to figure it out ED!! :sweeet:

Right you are...that's the Mega Ringer (not a Pied).

K~

Adam, just wanted to mention a name that few of the younger members here have never heard of, there are lots of guys and gals like Ernie that have made major contributions to this ball python morph craze. that have always worked out of the limelight! :)

Absolutely! ... Ernie was the man in his day!! ... He got me started with my first non normal ... a 100% het albino male ... a decade ago! ... You don't even want to know what I paid. :(

It's awesome that there are a lot of old timers (I mean that in the good way bud :P ) like you around to keep the history of this most awesome hobby alive and to help remind the young ankle biters where it all came from. :carrot:

Keep up the awesome work dude! :rockon:

Thanks Ed & Adam... HA see I just learned another new thing about 'em & their history. =)

Is this Ernie guy you speak of still around in the biz?

No doubt Adam! Gotta give props to the ones who have been there and done that all these years ;)
I think you're too modest Ed, you've been producing Ball Pythons for what, how many years now? Rock on!

Okay Lilyorchid we seriously need "the poop" from Pete...anything pied, I needs to know more infoz...

Cass - I LOVE Pied's!!! They are my most favorite morph in the BP world. Really it was hard not to just pick up the phone and call him right then and there when I first read this thread to ask him about it. Though I didn't because I know he was super busy when I left the shop. I can't get enough of the pied's nor do I ever get tired of hearing, seeing, and learning about them. Pete loves to talk about all the snakes he has ever had or has right now. He will just go on and on about them. I could literally sit there and just listen to him go on and on all day long with out getting the least bit bored with any of it.

This question is really bugging me now. LOL I must find out cause it's driving me nuts.
