The Bamboo Ball Python

What is the Bamboo ball python ? I cant find any description about it online. does it enhances the colour and pattern ? How much does it costs ? :D

It's listed on World of Ball Pythons, and if you browse through BHB reptiles' available ball pythons they had a couple bamboo and bamboo combos available.

Its still a relatively new morph, you can see pictures of them on world of ball pythons or other breeders who work with them (BHB and Breeders Circle to name a few). they sort of look similar to Lessers but a bit paler and are part of the BEL complex producing a white snake with some faint pattern to them,

So I went and looked over BHB's available ball pythons again and saw bongos available, not bamboo balls. Clearly I misremembered.

Bamboo is listed on world of ball pythons, and I've seen it mentioned a few times but other than that I'm not familiar with this gene. Sorry for posting twice in a row and spamming the thread.

John from Breeders Circle gives an overview of the morph in this video

That's a cool morph.

Lesser coloring on steroids. As far as price they are still a few thousand last time I checked.

Yeah, but they'll be a few hundred in a year or 2. Especially with it just being another white snake in its super form. They look super cool, but I don't think they really offer that much uniqueness.

I have no issues replacing all the lessers in my collection with them eventually.

In my opinion its much cooler than lesser... tricks out the pattern way more! and there has not been a super made yet so we do not know for sure if it makes "just another white snake" or not... the bamboo Mojave and bamboo phantom had some pattern to them...

BHB made one and had it up for sale for 30k, it has pattern, but imo not enough to be excited about. http://media.tumblr.com/c927039cc245...YPu1qz4rgp.jpg

Does anyone have examples of its super form? On WOBP's Genetic Wizard, breeding two Bamboos still results in the glitch where there is a blank entryhttps://ball-pythons.net/forums/cach...ibb.co/9qxYWyd where the super form is usually present for co-dominant genes.

Is there possibly a genetic issue?

Answered my own question. It's a BEL, OK :)
