    Sugar and Calico Question
    Is a sugar ball python the same as a Calico Ball Python? I mean they both have the white sides and stuff.

    I think the sugars look better in my opinion, there seems to be more white on them

    I do not think they are the same.

    I think that there is a HUGE difference.

    I don't see the difference. I thought they had been crossed and proven to be the same. I'm sure there are some minor differences (as between a lemon pastel and Graziani pastel), but it's the same gene.

    No way....comparing two lines of pastels?!?!

    I would have maybe agreed if you had said lesser/butter but not different lines of pastels.

    Its completely different looking. Not just a different shade.



    The calicos IMO have a much stronger white, that doesnt melt like the sugars do

    I find this topic very interesting and have for some time.

    Do you have a link to where they were proven to be the same? I am very curious, not just tryin to bust yer balls....LOL


    So weird, I was just having this conversation with a friend of mine a few days ago...so bizarre
