introducing the 'Nitro'

Had a really rough year last year in terms of job etc...
I only casually threw a couple of animals together this breeding season
and only had one clutch of 4 eggs...
Then out pops this-
I promised my boys if we ever hatched anything new they could name it;
so here is the NITRO

It is looking like a fun mystery to work out-
- pastel spotnose to spider
I am interested to see if we hit on all 3, or if it is fluke.
I am interested to see if anyone else is doing spider/spot cross what ya hatch..
I feel like we hit the lottery. 'Hey! you never know!!!!'
Best of luck and best of odds to you all!

Wow, I did not see that coming in that combo! I have seen the Spider Spotnose cross, and like the Spotnose Pinstripe, it changed the shade slightly and gave it a more busy pattern , but it certainly didn't do that. Huge congrats! That guy/gal is awesome!

Nice one Andrea, congratulations. It is nice to see you out and about again. :gj:

That's a gorgeous snake! Congrats! (I love the name too :gj:)

Wow, that is pretty crazy. Nothing like I would have expected. It will be cool to see how it ages.

CONGRATS Andrea! :) Couldn't have happened to a nicer Chica ;)

Very Nice.....What were the other 3 that came out of the clutch?

Sweet congrats on getting something new :cool:

That is soooo amazing!

Wow! I think you hit the trifecta!

Thanks Y'all!
The siblings were 2 normal, and 1 screaming spotnose. I haven't sexed them yet. Will post Pictures once they've shed, and I have charged the good camera.:rolleyes:

Wow! Thats a really cool snake. Looks like you hit the bumblebee spotnose.

nitro-BEE :gj::gj:

Very cool! I hope it is a male. :D

Holy smokes that's amazing!
I was looking for a spider spotnose's pic but that's much more exciting :D

Can't wait to pair my spotnose male to my spider.

Congrats Andrea! Badass!!!!!!!!:gj:

Congrats on that beauty!! Very interesting, at first glance I would have thought the Nitro had pinstripe in it.
Looking forward to seeing what you do with that one!!

So this is a Spotnose Spider not a Spider Spotnose Pastel right?

We bred Pastel Spotnose to Spider. We are not sure if we hit on all three or not. We did not get any other spiders in this clutch to compare.
Some one else here said that VPI tried spider to spotnose w/ nothing special coming out except really pretty spiders. I don't know Tracy well enough to ask how much she played with this combo.
Some of my more experienced friends thought that there must be pastel involved to wash the pattern out so much. Now that it has shed though, there is very little yellow ( will post pics later this week)
Only Time and breeding will tell.

I wonder if bumblebee to spotnose would produce the same thing... So many questions! I hope others out there will try these combos too to help figure this out....This just goes to show you what a fun creative, and exciting hobby breeding ball pythons can be... even when you have a small tight collection as we have!

Any updates about this beauty? Where are the Pics and your findings about this combo???

WOW!!! That is amazing!!! Big congrats :bow:

she's a beaut!

Hi I'm kind of new to ball pythons and have seen this statement ' I hope it is a male' and was wondering why people seem to want males. And congrats to you on this great snake.

I am new to Balls as well but if it is any thing like breeding dogs...I would assume it is because where females produce a limited amount of offspring in a season.. the males can well.. infinitely procreate lol

You can bread a male sooner then a female. So if you got a amazing male you could usualy bread it to find out what you actualy have or produce more in a year. Where if you got a amazing female you have to wait 2-3 till she is ready.

What a combo! At first glance i thought it has spinner on it. I really love how spotnoses mixes w/ other morphs. :gj: Cant wait to see updated pics on that lil fella

New pics with updates we must have,..yes :D.

Like others have said, makes it easier to prove out what you have going on, since males can breed younger than females. :D

Congrats, That is a super cool looking Snake. Good Luck with your new project. Keep us posted and shoot lots of pics. :gj:

What an amazing looking snake! Congrats to you!

It's doing great though it is very "spidery". Will post updated pics once I get a chance to take some.
:oops:
Won't know any more about the genetics for a bit. Hoping for another clutch from the same parents soon.
