My First Morph! 220g Piebald Male!!!

Just wanted to share some pics of my new little guy! I got him with an 1100g het pied female in a pretty good deal a few days ago. He's a late '09, and seems a bit underweight... Also, as you can see in the last picture, the underside of his jaw to about 2 inches back is sort of a greyish color. Does this occur on pieds or could he have sustained some sort of injury in the past? Either way, he's one of the calmest BPs I've ever handled! Can't wait for this pair to get up to weight!!!

Thanks! I was going to go with a Super Pastel male and Pastel female at first... It would have been less of an initial investment and the thought of never producing a normal was appealing. But then I threw all that out the window and decided to just go with a morph I would love to work with!

thats a great looking snake, you can never go wroung with a pied.

Beautiful pied and the coloring on the jaw is normal :gj:

Jaw color is normal to pieds. Great looking snake!

Thanks to all! Very glad to hear that the jaw color is normal!

Very good looking pied!!

Thanks! I'm really hoping his pattern gets passed down genetically. I'm crazy about the double stripes down the back!

I seen him on www.faunaclassifieds.com he is a great looking piebald. Get a big het. piebald female for him, they are going fairly cheap right now. Or you can just splurge and get a piebald female and have a full clutch of piebalds.

Nice pied! Love the white tail!

That's kind of what I'm debating on right now.. I could probably get at least 3 big het females for the price of 1 breeder size pied female (if I could even find one available...). That would give me, in theory, 1.5 times the number of pieds from the clutches plus the same amount of hets that could be sold. Then I'd just hold back a female pied or two.. On the other hand, how can you beat a clutch of nothing but piebalds?!

That is an awesome first ball python! I don't even have one of those yet! LOL! The pattern is random. It does not get passed down! Good luck with future breeding!!!

Wow, a pied for your first morph! Congrats! He is very pretty!
