Light Josie, Original Josie and a Standard Josie Update With A Strange Twist!!

After many request I got some updated pictures of the Josie Project.

Here is a picture of the Light Josie at 550 grams (Open to a New Name). I am hoping to prove it out to be a double gene mutation this year. I was thinking the Solar Ball.

Here is a picture of a Female Standard Josie around 700 grams.

Finally.... here is the Josie that started it all. He looked pretty standard when he was born. He is a good 6 years old and went through a crazy color change this last winter. He has shed a few times and still looks like a Crazy IMG. He is a little on this thin size due to breeding. Very odd and Interesting!! Thanks

That first one is AMAZING! I'm already used to the name Josie but Solar doesn't sound bad either. Is the first one the "super" form?

The first one is from the Original Josie bred to a Normal Female that I have had for 5-6 years. She was a virgin and pop that first one out. I bred a Josie X Josie this season so I should what/if a Super exists. I have a feeling the mom of the Light Josie has a gene that is contributing to the Light Josie's look.

I love that light Josie. I would keep the name Josie

The original Josie is just :O !!! And that Light Josie is smashing too.
I hope they become more mainstream, I would LOVE to get one. :D

Have these been proven yet? I don't know much about them other than just the few pictures I've seen over the last couple of months. I really would like to look into these guys- do you know who would have them for sale or where I can find more info?

If you search this forum under Josie Balls you will get the whole story. They are proven genetic just have not hit a super yet and I still have to unlock what makes the Light Josie. I should have some combos this season. I sold out of these guys this season but should have more later on

i vote for keeping the name josie also

I've been following your updates ever since you posted them first, awesome snakes, I must have one one day.

I can't wait to see some of the morphs from the Josie and Light Josie!! I can't wait to get one in the future. :)

Thanks I looked it up. Bummer that most of the pics were gone on the older ones. I really hope to add one of these to my collection some day. I just really find them striking. Out of curiosity- how much does the light ones run? You know- so I can start saving my pennies:D

Beautiful! And keep the name:gj:

Look at page two of "The Josie Ball Updated Picture". I re-posted the original story with working pictures on it.

Wow that first one is crazy!

Wow, the light Josie and the original male are awesome.

I'd keep the name. They've become known by that name already, and it's a unique name. If you like the name Solar as well, I'd consider naming the light Josie a Solar Josie, especially if it turns out to have an extra gene.

Good luck!

Yeah I would like to keep the Josie in there. Looks like the Solar name has been taken. I just dont care to keep the "Light" name and would like to replace it with something a little more fitting and unique. Looks like I got some thinking to do.....

In keeping with the look of the light one, and the changes to the original male, I'd call it the Josie Eclipse. :)

I still faithfully follow these threads, and still hope to be among the fortunate few who are blessed with a Light Josie one day.

Ok so let me get this straight.. 1) You think you got a light Josie by mixing a Josie to some possibly genetic female? If this is yes, then this means you may have 2 new morphs on your hands (mom & dad of Light Josie), correct? 2) If daddy Josie is the original, and the standard is his offspring, why don't they look alike?

These snakes look remarkable!

Can I see some belly pic's? Those head markers are something....

The Original Male Josie looks different than the Standard Josie because he went through an IMG color change over the last winter. I do not think it has to do with the morph and was just something that happened. I do think I might be working with two morphs. The Josie and the Mother that birthed the Light Josie. I will get belly pics asap.

Joe Ellis

I really like them! Really like the original male! One heck of a discovery and can't wait to see what you combine them with!

Cool project, I hope you prove out a new mutation... looks like a spotnose to me.

Very nice... I've been following the Josie project for a while now.. I'm very curius to see what the super looks like. (I'm confident it's co-dom.)

Solar Ball is taken.. But what about Mega Josie? Ultra Josie? Holy Josie? LOL.

Looking good!
