New Granite Burmese

So in honor of all the expansion my collection is going through and with new projects underway. I went to an exotic shop that a guy I know runs about 3 hours from me. About 2 months ago, his burmese eggs hatched and he had 2 Granites left. The pairing was a Granite Het Albino, to a double het 50% dwarf, so here is the new guy my 25% Dwarf Granite 66% Het Albino Burmese Python.

BEAUTIFUL!! :bow:

Gorgeous! If I had plans to get another giant it'd definitely be a granite.

That's what Im lookin for in granites. Complete pattern with no white or blank spaces. Very nice addition :gj:

The female of this clutch was an absolute knock out Granite. This one has about 1 or 2 spots where it looks like an eraser hit it, so it did deem the name of "smudges" :-)

I don't think you can assign dwarfism a percentage since I don't believe it's a simple genetic trait, but other then that I think that's a great looking granite.

Very nice looking granite!

My understanding of Dawf genetics in Burmese Pythons come from an understand of it being as a polygenic trait. When you breed a full out dwarf to a normal, you do get 50% dwarf offspring, that is to say they will be some where between normal size and dwarf. If you then breed that to a normal, you again fall 50% between the two extremes. Which would be 25% reduction of the original size constraints. This clutch hatched out at half the weight of normal burmese hatchlings which concurs the dwarf "blood" is present. . . But either thing aside, 8ft or 14ft he is going to be the star of my presentations in a year or so :-)

What a looker, and amazing quality in both the snake and the photo. :gj::gj:

Thanks! I will have more pics coming in the next couple days as I pull out more of my collection to photograph including my new Pastel Genetic Stripe :-)

Burms in shed tonight, will post some fresh shed pics on white and maybe black sometime this weekend!

What a neat looking snake.

I don't know much about morphs, but, I do know enough to know that yours is gorgeous!

Thanks! Just got another rat in him yesterday, so pictures tonight :-) He just finished out his shed yesterday morning and is smoking!

Pretty! I love granite burms!

The head on this guy is what made us choose him over his brother. The breeder had two males left, and this one just blew the other away. I've always loved Granite projects, and I've started working with Granite Irian Jayas, so I thought a Granite Burmese educator was in need! He is pounding mice / rat pups right now. Hopefully he grows nice and quick / clean.

Meh....I woul only give it a 9/10 lol. Gorgeous snake bud!

Smoking snake! I hope that in a few years when I'm able to keep snakes that they'll be pretty easy to get haha.

Still beautiful, I really like the granites, I'd like to get one myself someday but I'd have to do some major re-arranging in the herp room to fit another large cage in there.

Looking at a female granite to go with him at the moment :please:
