    How do different morphs affect the Pied pattern?
    I've been looking at pics of Spieds, and I really like the fact that most have a colored head and solid white patternless body. I also saw a few spieds that were pure white.

    I was just wondering if there are any other morphs that affect the patterns of pieds when mixed together. Hope that makes since.

    Its really the other way around. Its more of what the pied gene does to __________ (insert morph)

    I really like the Pumpkin Pied, which is Pied x Yellowbelly, and the Clown Pied. Both of them have brighter colors and I've heard they fade less with age too. For pictures go to World of Ball Pythons, Morph List. Really neat! :)

    Gotcha, guess I worded it differently.

    Are there any morphs when bred with pied, that produce combo morphs that are consistent in patterns which are different than what you would expect from a normal pied.

    example: Pieds can vary from low white to high white with varying amounts of patterned areas. Spider Pieds seem to come consistently with patterned head and solid body or just solid body.

    Are there any other pied combos that come out with anything unusual but consistent pattern wise.

    Just checked those out, the Pumpkin is a really pretty animal.

    Enchi pieds tend to be very low white, while spieds have almost all white :)

    Has anyone produced a butter pied yet? I couldn't find any pics of one.

    Mike, I'll be posting some very important and very cool pics in the next week or so.....think gray, darker gray, and white......we might have another!:confused: It was good to see you at the show this weekend. Can't wait til the next.

    Nerdy list based on looking at pictures online ... Note that this is based on a sample of pictures (ie, Google Image search) and not, unfortunately, from having a rack full of pied morphs. .. Maybe some day. :D

    Primarily color (minimal effect on pattern)
    Variable amount of white (no effect on % white)

    Albino
    Axanthic
    Caramel
    Pastel
    Yellowbelly
    Lavender
    Hypo
    Fire

    Color and pattern (extensive effect on pattern)
    Variable amount of white (no effect on % white)

    Clown
    Pinstripe
    Mojave
    Desert

    Color and pattern
    Extremely high white (white is typically on head only)

    Spider
    Sable
    Cinnamon

    Color and pattern
    99-100% white (typically solid white, occasional few spots)

    Spotnose
    Lesser

    Color and pattern (extensive effect on pattern)
    <5% white (minimizes amount of white)

    Enchi


    ... I couldn't for the life of me find a picture of a genetic stripe pied. Has that been made yet?

    ... Another branch of the discussion I'd be curious to explore as well: how does the heterozygous pied condition affect the appearance of other morphs?
