Really excited to see what you produce. Best of luck.

That's awesome. Congrats.

Fingers crossed he proves out for you!

He's gorgeous!!!! I hope he proves out for you....What produced him?

Awesome man can't wait to see what comes of this

Hopefully he'll stay locked over night. What a great way to start the year that would be!

Wow how time flies. I remember when this guy hatched. He sure stayed amazing looking.

Thanks everyone!

Thanks! He was a surprise from a pastel special x super mojave breeding. All I wanted were Crystals lol.

He's a beast. He's never missed a meal.

Looking great. Hope he lets you in on his secret. What did his parents do for you this season?

Thanks. The parents bred last year but she didn't produce. Hopefully, I'll have a few clutches this year and have some answers.

very interesting, keep us up-dated please :)

I am so excited for you Dave :) really hope he proves out, I'd love to have one of these beauties in my collection. Such a beautiful snake. That pattern is just out of this world.

Nice new years resolution! In looking forward to the clutch results!

I am still *really* interested to see the gene when not coupled to mojave. Will it be subtle, or something glaringly obvious?

I live in New Mexico. We had snow storms the last few days and boy I tell you those storms work good haha I had some good locks with my yellow belly and lesser hope we get some good ones this year. .. Good luck guy!!!

He still looks awesome! Really hoping he throws something cool or his parents do (both would be awesome). Excited to see you're in AZ. I'll be moving me and my whole zoo to Phoenix towards the end of the year.

His pattern reminds me of a granite burm. I really hope it proves genetic for you! I love the look of granite burmese pythons but would never be able to own one because of their size.

He's still going strong...

He's bred with a few at this point. I have a nice group of females set aside for him.

I can't wait to see if the pattering proves out to be something. I keep thinking that it would be neat with a variety of different morphs.

That's the coolest pattern I've seen yet. Hope ya get good results :)

I cant wait to see what you get, its rare that I am truly excited to see the results of someone elses clutch. Out of curiosity is it possible that the pastel special had mojave in it?

Thanks! If the pastel special had mojave in it he would be a pastel crystal.

Wow shows how out of the loop I am lol, did not even realize special and mojave made a crystal.

One of the best ball pythons I've ever seen. Hope it proves out

Gorgeous! Both of them!

Have any of the King's concubines shown evidence of being gravid?

Thats awsome added to my wishlist!!

Did you pair him with any pied females? Are pieds in the plans for him?

Not yet but I have a lot of plans for him...

I will say one thing, he at least has to have the pastel gene... :P
But I can't wait to see what could be made of isolating that dinker gene! I can't get enough of this guy, and that says a lot coming from someone who usually doesn't get that excited over morphs. :gj:

Have you tried repairing his sire and dam to see if you get another like him?

I agree 100%. Definitely some awesome forethought on your part Dave. He would look AMAZING as a pied.

That's what I said back in February! Glad to see you went ahead with the pied pairing. :gj:

yeah specially because you may isolate the gene with het. pied. recessive girls are the top choice

Incredible Dave! I'm really looking forward to the day you prove the genetics out and all the amazing future combos!

Shew! That boy is amazing!!

Keep us posted! Hoping for lots of eggs and answers.

Wow, that really is the king of dinkers. Really awesome!! Can't wait to see his babies!
