I am sure I could go one but don't want to drool anymore on my keyboard :D

I got one even better.

White smoke Calico
or
LA Calico

Mmmmm purple and yellow

I will have to agree on the Lesser calico.
Those white sides may just have an interesting effect on the lesser gene

It has not been given up on at all... There were only 3 eggs from the line i work with that hatched 1 Calico and 2 Normals not a clutch i would count on...

And there were 5 eggs in Tracy's clutch, dont know the details on those.

TSK, Tracy , Dan Wolfe and a few others will have Calico x Calico clutches...

Only down side is, there is a difference between lines... one may have a super one may not. We shall see!

The Lesser Calico has been done, it was a very low white and the baby pics werent that great??? Havent seen any pics since it has gotten older. Calicos look WAY better as they age.

It's all in the Mix.... I'd like to see what the pied gene does with a Sugar... Also aren't Sugars and Calico's pretty much the same thing and the Bubble Gum was one with a possible mix in it??

Calicos and Sugars are very similar, like a Mojave to a Butter. Bubblegum was the name of 1 particular snake. But we are unsure of the super form of either... that will show if there is a bigger difference

ah I see, so it could be more like a lesser and a butter then a mojave and butter. I've been in this game to long to assume that much though.

Does anyone have any pictures of the lesser calico, or any of the other crosses? I beleive that they are priced reasonably eventhough they are a dom or a co-dom trait, though it has not been proven which, but it is defenitely not resesive. I beleive they will go down when more of them hit the market. These are one of the more exciting morphs today and great potential.

Question: I thought in pieds it was random how much white they produced?

Michael Cole from Ballroom Pythons South also has produced Sugars last year.

Think what he meant is a low white can produce high white not a for sure so it is random like pieds

here is one of Morton Wrights pastel calico from Daytona last year, unfortunately it is not a side shot.
