Black Pastel Pied and 'Gold Dust' Pied

So here is my pairing for next season! I can't wait to see what comes of this! The female is a Black Pastel Pied that I got from Collin four years ago, she's my gem. The male is a 'gold dust' pied from Dan Wolfe. He's been proven to throw speckled pied offspring so whatever he has going on is genetic but I don't think anyone has isolated his gene or given it a proper name. Since 'gold dust' is the name for a super mahogany I'm thinking of changing it to 'digital' if I can prove it out to be a gene. I don't really know how one goes about claiming a new morph. He's 66% het for albino so if I can get my hands on a female albino het pied I might try seeing what happens there.

Here is a thread that shows what a 'het for gold dust' looks like. I'm trying to get in touch with this user to see if she ever bred this gal and what came of it.

wow 2 gorgeous snakes!! keep us updated, that will prove to be an awesome pairing I'm sure

Thanks! I've always loved pied! Of course one day I want Panda Pied, but if I could get speckled Panda Pied that would just be my dream snake. ;)

Any pieds are just fabulous looking. So unique

Pieds are always cool. I figured a Halloween type name worked for the perfect Jack-o-Lantern face. This is Elvira.

Incredible looking pieds!

Love the pieds - maybe some day, when I'm rich!

Wow that male is awesome, I really hope he proves out for you! And Panda Pieds are just too :cool: for school.
Good luck and keep us posted.

You can start your pied collection with a pair of quality het pieds first and defray some of the cost. You don't have to wait to get rich! Lol

Great pair of pieds piedlover 79! Best of luck on proving him out. :gj:

Thanks all! I love the jackolantern pied!

This boy has already proven to throw speckled babies so I can't wait to make some of my very own!

Gorgeous pieds! Never heard of "gold dust" being used for super mahogany.. I've only heard them called suma. There is a line of mojave that is called gold dust I believe. I agree digital would be a more accurate description. It'd be fun calling them digi-pied

Ah, yes, that's right, the official gold dust is like suma/spider or something.

I don't know why this project got dropped! I have no idea who had him for most his his breeding life, and no idea what happened to his sister. Mike Russo made a speckled female with him this year that was stunning (I wish I still had the pic, I accidentally erased it...I should ask him to send it again).

Digi-pied! Heehee.

Yeah, I think I will change it to Digital if I can prove that it effects another morph and therefore a gene of its own. The 'het for gold dust' certainly looks like a nice 'dinker' and I've seen other genes that look less special when they are just mixed with normal and don't really show their stuff until they are a 'super' or mixed.

I'll be on the hunt for a 'morph of some sort het for pied female' to also pair him with.

Pixel pied

Ur on the reptile report with this pairing

Arrrgghhh.... Pixel Pied.....I really like that!


The reptile report, tell me more. I've never really looked into 'proving' a new gene.

I got into ball pythons five years ago, bred for two years, and then I sold everything except for her when I moved across country. I figured I'd wait til she as breeding size before getting a male. I did breed her last season to a black pastel pin het pied...and had a devastating incubator accident. I had sold the het pied, and I was searching around for a male pied to make sure I got all visuals when this guy basically fell into my lap.

Oh man, I am LOVING the speckles on that snake... another vote for "Pixel Pied", that's great. :)

Oh, the Reptile Report! That is awesome! I feel like I own celebrity snakes now. Thank you for showing me.

Nice to see my boy again and that he is doing well ! I hope your having good luck with him !

:gj::gj::gj:

Update on the project!

ooo..... how did I just find this post?? cant believe I overlooked it before now lol....

dam you all, feeding my pied craving. ....why is the forum covered with these guys lately????

hubby is gonna kill me.

ok, can i be first in line for a Gold Dust Pied baby? :)

Always gotta feed the pied cravings!!


I will be keeping one or two of the 'pick of the litter' but other than that I will be selling any extra pixel pieds! I think I like 'pixel pied' better than gold dust since gold dust is already a morph. ;)

I love that gold dust pied, the pattern really does looks like pixels. It's almost like the graphics you'd see in an old space invaders video game. :cool:

I totally forgot about this thread. Go for it. Glad I could help. Now I need to get some pied for myself.

absolutely LOVE that pieds patterns, look like PIXELS to the fullest....:gj: :gj: :gj: :bow:

Thanks guys! I'm so excited to see if this speckled pixel pattern translates into the black pastel pied! I know already that it is reproducible. If I can get a male black pastel pixel pied I will be one step closer to a Panda Pixel Pied!

Any updates on this project?

This post is not helping with my wanting to have a pied! I am just saying.
