Nuclear Ball Python

Here is a female Nuclear (Butter/Fire) that I picked up from Mike Wilbanks. Nothing super uncommon but a really nice looking snake. I pretty much got her because you don't really see them much, or maybe see them much anymore, I don't know.

For real , the Fire stuff that you get directly from Wilbanks is like on another level maybe because this snake is like glowing. The only think that is hard to photograph is the pattern on top is like a cream color

I agree. The grandparents of my fire clown came from Wilbanks

One of my favorite simple 2 gene combos. Great pickup

yeah I like Wilbanks' stuff too. I can't wait to breed my enchi lesser to my fire girl this coming winter

I can't wait to get her. Just waiting for some warmth for her to ship. Here's her pics from the breeder. I'll be going for firefly clowns my 1st season. http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15...34c513ac24.jpghttp://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15...926b70c510.jpg

Or if I can find a semi established banana clown male go for banana fire clowns.

Real nice Fire Clown. Alot you can do with that snake.

Thanks guys, yeah I'm super stoked. She's almost 500 grams too so I'm crossing my fingers she'll keep pounding rats and be ready next winter or spring. She's definitely one of my major stepping stones towards my long term goals. Hopefully one day I can make some super fire clowns or super fire killer clowns. The super fire might overwhelm the pastel and clown but it could be awesome?!?!

Very cool! She looks beautiful. Congratulations!

I've been searching for a Nuclear het. Pied female for a while now. Mike definitely has some of my favorite Nuclears. Just wish they were het. Pied...

I don't think I've seen a nuclear clown. That would be cool!

according to WOB, coreydelong produced one last year

I love nuclear ball pythons :) I have a female nuclear too and they are just absolutely gorgeous. Thanks for sharing yours with us. She looks great!

Nice pick up! It's a great combo. Our Nuclear male is going to out Clown girl as soon as she is up to size :) :).

Can't go wrong with clowns in general, I'm a big fan of banana clowns.

Thanks, this is my first snake from Constrictors Unlimited. I have to say I am impressed, she ate two days after arriving and has an excellent feeding response ever since.

Tonight was feeding night, she took a f/t fuzzy rat consumed it and was at the front of the bin looking for more so I gave her another and she took it! Great snake.

Awesome! Hope she keeps her appetite and stay healthy;)

Problem is that a Butter/Lesser Pied is all white. You could in no fashion tell if there was Fire in it until you proved it out. Likely why you are not finding one.

If someone was to breed a Nuclear to a Pied, I'd get my Nuclear het. Pied. ;)

If I understand you correctly, what you're saying is if there was a Nuclear Pied it would be a completely white snake even though Butter and Fire are both co-doms? So the Fire gene wouldn't be expressed? I'm a little confused.

Nuclear Het Pied would look just like a Nuclear. You would not see any Pied markers on the belly since both Butters and Fires have clear bellies.

Yes- Butter/Lesser Pied would be an all white snake. That is just how the genes express themselves in the Pied form. Fire gene would not be expressed in a Nuclear Pied.

It is just like when a BEL is produced.... There may be more genes at play depending on the breeding, but they would not be expressed.

Got it. I appreciate the explanation.

My Pastave Pied project apparently will also give me a completely white animal so that should be interesting.

A Mojave Pied is not all white, and neither is a Pastel Pied. I would think you would see some good results there.

1.0 Mojave Pied on the way ;)

I was looking for this thread last night. Finally did a search and found it. Hit up John by PM if you want more info on Lesser/Butter Pieds.
