Kushina, Black Head Red Gene

I think the red gene has a lot of potential, would love to see it axanthic of course, and the black head really magnifies it. I haven't seen too many available, but Jennifer Chafin of Wicked Balls, a breeder in one of my FB groups works with them. She works with a lot of the newer genes like trick, ringer, and gai. Her prices are very reasonable, and she updates me all the time. I will be purchasing from her again for sure. Kushina started off having to be force fed, but is not taking prey on her own. I can't wait to get her home in the spring.

I've only seen a few on Kingsnakeclassifieds, nothing on WOBP. I will see if I can find the pictures she sent me.

You should just send all your snakes to me. All of them. I swear I'll take good care of them. ;)

Okay, I made a mistake, its Gia not Gai :rolleyes:. Here is the Gia stuff.

The more normal looking one is a female single gene Gia, the male is actually Kushina's father a Black Head Mojave Red Gene Ringer Gene.

These are Gia Mojaves.

They all look amazing! When you say "red gene", are you referring to the red stripe gene or is this something else? :tears:

Nope, not red stripe. Red Gene was found in some Black Heads, and isolated as a separate gene.

The breeder wasn't sure if the baby had red gene or not, so she ended up sending me an older female that she knew for sure was a Black Head Red Gene. I received her on 5/17/16 at 653 grams. Her last shed was 8/23/16. She is now 751 grams.

^^interesting looking morph right there

Kushina turned into a mouser, so is growing slowly, 891g on 12/15/16.https://ball-pythons.net/forums/cach...107_182047.jpg

Very interesting looking animal.

i have a blackhead male with possible red gene. he looks amazing.

i think it was this thread that i got my first look.

So red gene is all about the blushing right? I've never seen a single gene red gene animal, I always thought it was linked to a specific line of blackheads. Guess not

Yup, red gene causes the blushing you see here. Red gene was first discovered from blackheads, so is often together, but I have seen single gene red genes available. I think it looks the best paired with blackhead though.
