Odd Looking Male I Hatched Last Season

Last season we hatched out this funky little boy, He was in a mixed clutch with twins!
Now with some size on him, he's changing colour each shed & getting more oranges to him, fading out in spots

His mom didn't look like much to me at first, but now that this little guy popped out, I will be breeding him back to her to see if there is anything there

I'm in the works of breeding his mother to a pastel YB, just to see...

He is definitely worth breeding back to mom.

Cool-looking boy! What was dad (potentially)?

Interesting, good luck with the project.

I Think so too ...

Here he is with a yellow belly female for comparison

Wow, he is really neat! Can't wait to see what he produces!!

Next season we will see hopefully!

He's a cute little worm for sure!

Part of the fun in breeding ball pythons is we sometimes get these cool looking babies. For example, I bred my beautiful normal female to my sweet fire male, and much to my surprise nearly every baby that hatched had a granite type thing going on. No clue where it came from, because neither the mom nor the dad have any remotely granite type markings. If it happens this year from a repeat of that pairing, I believe I'll be holding back a boy to breed to mom and see if there is a 1 in 1,000,000 chance something wild happens.

Another example is my little low white pied male. Now he doesn't have any back stripe to speak of, and neither do my two het pied females. But every pied and het pied he sired last year had a back and/or tail stripe. Weird.

I had asked Justin Kobylka about the fire I got from him and its granite pattern also, his response was along the lines of granite patterns tend to turn up in fires.

Hmmm wonder if my fire has anything neat to him... And yes he is for sure a neat looking little worm! Can't wait to see what we get with him next season and what we get with mom this season! She gave me twins last season, wonder if it will happen again
