Highlight of the season so far!!!

This little thing crawled out of the egg today, offspring of a little dinker project thing I have.

I can't stop looking at this boy DX

There's no Acid or het red axanthic. Leopard was in the pairing but I dont think this particular snake has it.

Can't help with morph ID, but that's a super cool looking animal. Congrats!! That's awesome, especially coming from a dinker project!

Pairing?

Wow, that's really wild! Congrats! I can see why you can't stop looking at it.

That think is hot! Reminds me of a spotnose leopard super pastel how busy the pattern is. Really nice, congrats!

Awesome snake, I'm curious what the pairing was as well.

There is a weird looking sibling that also pipped but has not come out yet.

This is the male. He doesn't look like any other pastel leopard special/leopard special except for one leopard special which is his sibling. You can find a picture of that one on world of ball pythons.

That makes more sense because I was going to say I have no idea how that hatchling came from that pairing lol. But now I can see, you have something else going on with daddy. Cool project! Definitely post picks of all the hatchlings once they are out of the eggs.

Stunning!

The second hatchling has come out and it is a girl!! That's the last of this half of the clutch. Other half was a different dad XD.

I think it is a super pastel special "dinker" possible yellow belly?

What causes the top of head to be clean and without pattern like that?

Typically super pastel will blush the head out like that.

So far we are calling it "Fractal". More babies from the same dad are on the way!

I'm in love with those sneks <3

Almost has a Monsoon type look but not quite. Maybe a related gene you've discovered? Really cool dinker project regardless! Congrats!!

Im gonna make a write up/another thread after the next clutch comes out. I think I may have isolated it/made some basic versions. Plus I have some other babies from last season that are from the same dad that might be "Fractal".

EDIT: Ive also been told that the Special gene is causing the abberancy but the research/sleuthing Ive done makes me think otherwise. Feel free to share your thoughts! Im more interested in " solving the puzzle (no pun intended)" than "a new gene".

Beautiful Dinks! Dad is phenomenal as well.

I don’t think you have a new gene, I think you have super pastel-leopard-hidden gene woma-special!
Incredible combo!!!

Thank you! I dont think I have a new gene either-ish, but I can confidently say there is no leopard in either of these snakes. Leopard hidden gene womas tend to be very dark, even the pastel hidden gene womas. I dont think the addition of super pastel and special would be enough to *undarken* it. My hypoyhetical IDs as of right now are Super Pastel Special possible YB, and Super Pastel Special Hidden Gene Woma YB. Both could be carrying the "Fractal" but I cant be 100% sure since it is a dinker.

Wait you lost me, you said that your pairing included a Pastel Leopard Special which was the male you showed us a picture of? What am I missing?

The pairing was pastel leopard special x inferno yes. Im just saying that the two hatchlings do not have leopard in them imo. Nothing about them screams leopard to me. Specifically the really messy one. I do not think that snake has leopard in it.

I produce a lot of leopards and I do think the first one you posted is leopard hgw super pastel combo... possibly YB too... I don't think it has Special

Okay so new update on what we are calling the "Fractal" project.

The first two have shed out!

And there are some in the egg that we have cut that I guess are coming out by the end of this weekend? (They were laid on May 16.)

I do not want to post them cause I don't know how to use spoiler tags here because I assume some people dont want to see hacked up eggs. BUT MAN. They look super cool. I cn't wait to share them once they actually crawl out.

Very cool! Wow!

Okay this one just pipped!

Something about it looks familiar.... XD
