A brand new RECESSIVE morph!

In 2006 I was able to acquire this adult male import with very unusual coloring and an unusual belly pattern.

In 2008, I bred this male to a normal female and produced a clutch of normal looking animals. I sold a 1.1 pair to Deborah Broadus-Muskauski and in 2010, she bred the hets to each other. Out of a 5 egg clutch, there were these 2 super bright animals with the same belly pattern and the head and neck blushing of the original male.

Introducing the first pair of CB Lentigo Ball Pythons!

Very pretty babies!

Congrats!! It's always cool to see a dinker project prove out! Especially when it's recessive. Any plans for future combos with these?

Grats! I love their light auburn heads. It'll be interesting to see how they mature, keep us updated on them :)

I like their heads. Can you post pics of their bellies??

Nice job and congrats! Do you have it bred into any other morphs?

Can't give it all away. :rofl:

Very cool babies!

Very Cool!
Congrats on a dinker proving out!

Their heads are devastating, especially the black out lines, nice!

Very nice, I have a male that I picked up last year who has some of the same characteristics (I belive). Of course it could just be my eyes playing tricks on me.

If it was a recessive gene wouldn't breeding the two hets together make a snake like the first one pictured? These almost look like a super pastel's pattern, with normal pastel coloring really cool. Very confused by this, and regardless beautiful babies!

They probably will when they are older.

congrats! they are really nice.

It looks to me like a recessive pastel. Either way they are still amazing looking. Congrats on proving out your snake! :gj:

Wow. That's nice. It's like a recessive pastel :) Good luck with the rest of the project. It will be nice to see how it colors into the other morphs.

Excellent, another beautiful "make a snake glow and have blushing" morph!

Time to get started on that super pastel fire desert enchi lentigo project :P

thats something pretty neat right there

To address the codom theory, here is a head shot of one of the original hets I produced. Odd that it also has the black outlining on the head. Never much thought of that before.

More breeding will definitely need to be done.

Very nice! Those are going to make some awesome combos down the road.

:number1: Yaaaay dinkers!

Very nice babies. Congrats!
