Updated Photo

I've been getting a lot of requests for an updated picture of this guy. He's thriving and I just moved him to a larger bin yesterday. Coolest Ball Python with scales?

Handsome little porker

Gorgeous... whats the parents?

His pattern reminds me more of the crazy retic morphs than that of a ball python.

Did you try breeding him this season?

I agree the pattern looks more like a retic, or a burm.

I was just going to say, looks burm-like. I love it!!! :O

Still love it. I think I need me one. Can't wait to see what happens with this guy.

Dave any idea yet what might be going on with this one. PS the scale less are neat an all but it's a niche market.. other wise scale less corns and rats and beardies would be a bigger part of that market. They'll be a neat novality for breeders and the odd buyer but I can't see, even with the morphs, them having a huge market.

That's because most people can't afford scale less anything yet so only rich collectors and investment breeders are buying them. Heck, scale less corn Hets are 2k$ Pieds were over 100k once and now that they are sometimes under 400$ more people can afford them and there's a big market for them. Once they drop to 1000$ in 10 years everyone will want oneone.

*one* also, not that long ago coral glows were over 20k...now they are 1000 or less

That snake gets more smoking every time you update. Love it.

Yep so were pieds and clowns and LA's and yet not everyone has them. Just saying with these they are even more of a niche they aren't going to be on everyone's wish list.

Well of course not on everyone's... Just most people as they get cheaper and cheaper. Pieds and clowns will continue to come down. Eventually Pieds will be under 200$ and I saw a 2gene clown for 600$ the other day. Some people just don't like Pieds... Or leucistic snakes at all. So everything has its niche. I'm not disagreeing with you. I just think as the prices come down over the years it opens up new markets and in 10-15years they'll be pretty popular

I tried but he wasn't interested. I'm not too surprised as he hatched late last year.

Not really, I have some breeding to do :)

He is awesome Dave. Can't wait to see if it was genetic or not. Good luck with him.

What an update! He looks great Dave, hope all is well.
