Well, there is this sad case...
Her dad is an OK looking Cinny, but her mom is a Pied, so she ended up with this horrible coloration, side-markings all running together, and way too much of a vertebral stripe. Yes, she is on eggs, and unfortunately she was bred to a Black Pastel with similar issues and lineage so please don't look at any pictures I post regarding the offspring of this pairing... Just in case there is "vomit" on any of the babies.

Haha! Great looking snake. Cinnies are my first love when it comes to the morphs, got me paying attention to Balls again after leaving them in my childhood. I certainly wouldn't kick her outta my snake room, would just have to breed those Pied genes out of her. :)

My biggest problem is that I love Pieds and every other mutation. I even love normals. My life long goal is to at least have one of each;)

Ah... But then you've undone the magic! You see, that nasty old Pied gene often tends to influence the appearance of the hets. In many instances (NOT ALWAYS) when Pieds breed with average looking Cinnamon or Black Pastels, the offspring have side-blotches run together and you get lots of striping. This is actually a different one of our Cinny Het Pieds (due to lay in about 2 wks) with a Black Pastel Het Pied.

It amuses me so thoroughly that people actually get offended over one person's opinion about a mutated gene in an animal. Haha! Who cares?! :rofl:

Albino, Pied.....Pied, Albino......jesus..whatever......you missed it completely. I wasn't offended and I didn't attack you or your snakes...was just simply pointing out that you commented on a morph looking like a turd and I thought it was funny considering an adult Super Cinny ACTUALLY looks like a big turd....

Well that's what you wanted right?

Stirring up the pot, attempting to offend people and for what?

Feeling lonely and needing attention maybe?

Well you got it .....what an amazing contribution to this forum ;)

Those were my thoughts when I read the OP.

Negged op! :P

While I don't have any pied in my collection yet... it will hopefully be an addition soon.

I love pieds, but I feel that way about Clowns, and can't explain why, lol.

I was just trying to have some purely harmless fun. Ended up being reminded of how overly serious WAY too many people take themselves, as always. Either way, I created something to entertain me at work. Now I need to come up with something else cause it's a really slow week. Thanks everybody. Peace! :rolleye2:

bg junior, just what this site needs.

Ryan.

That is very close to the definition of trolling.

Word to the wise - don't do that.

Making extra work for the staff because you are bored has one very simple and quick solution from their point of view.

I wish low white pieds got more attention. I love lots of melty gooey color and tiny splashes of white.

I cannot understand how people that LOATHE snakes will say "Ooh, I like that one!" when they see one of these magical Clorox Balls. I don't get why they're the most coveted snake in the world, when the gene by itself looks like a Ball Python that got puked on, and the combos all look EXACTLY the same with a different colored headspot. I basically ignore anything that is Pied related because I know I'll just once again be befuddled at their ridiculous popularity. And just as a disclaimer, no I'm not hating because I secretly want one so bad. I'm hating because they're butt-ugly. I will never let one of those little defective mutants anywhere near my collection.

Just sayin'. :D

I agree! So ugly. But if I were a breeder, I'd make them, since they usually sell out pretty quickly. But strictly for the money only. :)

Haha! :gj:

SHHHHHHHHHHH!

There's a lot of morphs that look like normals to me, and I still don't get most of them. My husband isn't a big fan of pieds, though I wouldn't mind a pair ( or one )
I'm also a huge fan of ghosts though a lot would say its just a normal in shed :P

I love me a good old piebald. :gj:

Im more excited on creating pieds with mojaves, spiders, leopards, cinnamons etc. And maybe something totally new, like the Panda Pied (newish) I believe pieds will always be a favorite and for good reason. There is space for new morphs and im excited about them.

I like what the enchi does to the het pied

I definitely agree with that. It's very good for everyone that there are tons of projects to be had. :gj:

I saw this video the other day and I have to admit they're very attractive looking combos. Still wouldn't necessarily want them for myself, but I understand the appeal...of these 2 particular snakes. :)

Agreed-enchi champagnes are stunning. The problem with straight champs is that I have seen the odd one that I like and lots that I don't... I guess that I might get one one day if I see one that I really like, and have sufficient spare cash that isn't going on something that I like more!

I used to feel the same way about pieds, but they just kind of grew on me. :)

If you were in this thing from the start you would have a more appreciation. The albino was the first notable morph. The pied was the catalyst to what this industry has become. There is not one combo that the pied gene doesnt go great in. I couldnt stomach reading through 13 pages but i kinda figured where it was going. The pied in my oppinion is one of the key ingriedients to some of the top morphs that we have now and the ones that are under lock and key that people dont want you to know about yet. Albino pied, panda pied, spied, lesser pied, pastel pied, bee pied, too many combos to list. Just a sick animal. If you think it looks like a snake that got puked on in your words then id hate to hear your oppinions on the calico spider or the hornet.
