Visit to Ballroom Pythons... (Dial Up A-Bomb)

Last weekend, instead of going down to Daytona, we stayed local and spent part of the weekend at Tim Lane at Ballroom Pythons (not Ballroom Pythons Souths) place. I was able to take the time to snap a bunch of pictures of part of his crazy collection, as well as some of the animals he has hatched out this year. Here are just a few of his animals and all are posted with his permission.

Blonde Suede
(Combination of two different genes proved out by Tim, Blonde is a CoDom mutation, and Suede being recessive, what do these remind you of?)

Insane Pastels
These Pastels are combined with another CoDom "vanilla-like" morph, but this morph hasn't been breed to a Vanilla to see if indeed it is a vanilla.

Very interesting for sure, it doesn't go along with the look of other Mojave Pieds out there, but we have never seen a belly that white on anything other than a Pied, and that white extends up high on the sides, its hard to tell that in the pic. Its just one of those things that you will have to wait and prove out but there are enough Pied characteristics to lead one to believe that it is indeed a Pied.

Love that shatter pattern het clown and genetic black back butter! :)

:bow::bow::bow:

speechless. o_o

That shatter pattern het clown SMOKING! Definately cant wait to see that out!

mmm Vood dooo is really cool!

Thanks for sharing.. :D

Sorry, I made a mistake with this one, this is not a Mojave Het Pied, it is a Giraffe Mojave. Giraffe is another co-dominant mutation Tim has came up with over through the years sifting through captive hatch shipments. It isn't a dramatic morph alone, but when combined with darker morphs such as a Mojave, it lightens up the color of the animal as it grows and gets more and more impressive with age.

I love the Giraffe Mojave, and WOW, that high-white mojo pied is smokin!! Very nice pics and thanks for sharing.

Looks like a fun visit! I am really impressed with that shatter pattern and it's hard not to love the super stripes. I don't think those are pastel vanillas though... He may be onto something else.

If you need someone to take that first pastel hatchling off your hands-- :D!

Cheers,

great pics:) love them all, great animals and great photography!

Thanks for sharing the awesome pics of all the beautiful snakes!

Wow, beautiful collection... I think my favorite is the pastel kingpin, and those insane pastels really are insane!! :gj:

wow.. thanks for sharing those gorgeous pictures.

That shattered pattern is by far my favorite... It is like a pied only there is black instead of white

Holy Hannah not one but 2 mojave pieds go timmy!!! The pastel kingpen look at that thing take some pics! I know where my next snakes are coming from!

Awesome snakes!!! each one is a very nice example of it's respective morph.

What is a CH shipment????

CH means captive hatched. So they were eggs or a gravid female taken from the wild and hatched in captivity.

The pictures really doesn't do that animal justice, I got to Tims place pretty often and everytime I go that one gets lighter and lighter, that Giraffe genes is unreal, and I am still trying to talk Tim out of a Giraffe female!!

I know Mike, she is very cool for sure, I think she will be up to breeding size for this coming season, so I am sure we'll see some pretty cool things from her in the near future.

I have so many snakes in my collection from Tim and I haven't had a problem with a single one, his standards he keeps in his collection are unparalleled, he makes it really easy to purchase from him, it only takes one purchase, and you see the quality of animals he has.

Oh yeah, I am loving that one as well, no sex on it yet though, Tim waits til after the first shed then he sexes the hatchling, so we'll know soon whether it is a boy or girl.:gj:

Thanks for all the responses everyone, we are actually going back down to hang out with Tim and his family on Labor day weekend, so while I am there I will probably try to take some pics of others I didn't get to and any other hatchlings he has hatched since my last visit!

When I put "what do these remind you of?" I thought I had a Belly shot of the Blonde Suede. They are spitting images of Yellowbellys!

Awsome pics Shaun!!!! Those are some BAD looking ball pythons!!!! I would have been like a kid in a candy store there for sure :gj:

nice ball pythons really cool

Wicked-nice looking snakes! Thanks for sharing. Noce eye candy to end the day :)

Thanks everyone for the replies, you can't go wrong with Tim at all, I have numerous animals from him and haven't had a problem with any of them. He produces tons of cool animals, and the customer service is top notch.

Gorgeous Animals, that VooDoo is stunning!

The Voodoo sure is cool looking! Thanks for putting these pics up!
