Call me a skeptic, but I'd have to see some better pics of those snakes in the ad...

this is what i found scroll down

http://www.snakeevolutions.com/photo...llpythons.html

so im assuming that it is another form of the pastel :confused:

Its not "another form of a pastel." The snake pictured in that link appears to be a cross between the two traits.

ok i see so a harlequin is a striped ball with a diff color contrast

I think this is one of those trait names that is getting thrown around a bit?

huh i really dont know i just saw one and figured it looked just like a pastel and wonderes why they called it a harlaquin :confused:

Here's an old discusssion:

That's because the link you provided was for a pastel with harlequin features. There are also mojave harlequins too.

vaughn

so how much do they usually go for

PDMS looks like a high contrast normal :confused:

This one is Killer! I cant wait to breed the freak into hypos next year!

http://forums.kingsnake.com/view.php?id=1208662,1208662

can someone please help me out whats the diff.

A harly is normal coloration with a stripe, blushing on the sides and pattern that 'melts' upward from the belly.....

The genetics on most 'harlequins' is unknown. Just a random pattern variation in a normal ball python in most cases. However, some are 'genetic'. IMHO....the term 'harlequin' is thrown around very loosely...used by people trying to sell normals for a little extra.....

Some of the pictures posted look like normals with a little bit of the harly traits...nothing special....

.......but the picture that kavmon posted is a great example of what I would consider a 'harly'.....Compare that to a normal wild type animal and the difference is obvious....

.....Jas....post another picture of The Freak and show how hot harlys can get ;)

I do agree with you for the most part and that is EXACTLY what they are unless they produce something special.
The ones we produced will most likely just be GREAT odd looking normals with a ton of nice flames who knows.
That's why they are called dinking projects. :)

PS' Now kavmon that is one sweet looking ball.I really like the look.
I hope that project proves out for you.

ok thanks for explaining now ehre might i be able to get one

Theres got to be something in the water in HOUSTON,TEXAS! :skullbone

EXCUSE ME :eek: Whats that supposed to mean :(

Check gollireptiles.com and ballroompythonssouth.com...they both usually have some Harlequin type balls. They also usually have a good selection of odd balls. I believe they both work together. I've purchased from Neil Golli before and he was great to work with....

It means that if you were uncomfortable with that statement, I may have gotten my point across in a rather nice way. and you may put some thought into your future actions. :)
