Granit...

Is anyone working with these. I like them and after seeing what they did with the YB's I cant wait to see what it will do with other co-dom/dom morphs.

Granite's aren't visual enough for me but yea they are a must for combos. :D:D:D:D

I have a girl I picked up not to long ago that Iam hoping is genetic. Has all of the granite markers though. Just have to wait and see....

Cant wait to see what the future holds with new Granite Combos

Do you have any pics of her.

The granite x yellow belly = ebony is not a guarantee. Actually i believe it is a fairly rare occurence. If I am not mistaken it has to be a special granite with one of those mysterious hidden genes. Someone else might be able to elaborate more on this. There are alot of granites and yellowbellys out there but very few are able to make an ebony. Any way here is a pic of my granite girl Greta. She should be ready to breed this coming season.

I've got one...I think they are cool to look at, but for someone who doesn't look at ball pythons every day, they don't "pop" like other visual morphs do. Here's mine:

(I do not use type of bedding that is a spare tub I put them in while cleaning their cages ;) )

I have a few granites that I hope to work with - i think they have a lot of potential!

I think RDR is claiming to of produced a super form now. Scroll down about to about the 4th clutch to see and read!

Granite stock went up...lol...only problem is that he did that with a very specific line...most of us who have CH granites aren't guaranteed that kind of results in the future. Only one way to find out!

Anyways, you can still do cool stuff with granites. Check out this thread:

I was going to post that one you just posted as well...lol .... yeah, stock went up, pure sales pitch right there.

That top one is very similar to RDR's super form....

I wasn't trying to knock Ralph...I think its pretty cool, just solidifies the possibility for combo potential with the granite trait. All along I was hoping that it wasn't just a dominant trait with no homozygous form.

Not knocking him either, but it just comes across as a sales pitch to me.... which is neither here nor there. And in part I think he is right, unfortunately it also opens the door to questionable granite sales from dubious sellers.... but that is expected I guess.

All in all, we have been waiting for someone to produce a super form even if it is from a specific line.... :)

If that dose end up being a super form of the granit that will be cool. I have a new girl I just picked up. I will post pic later when I finde my photo taking device. My wife was none to happy with me when I brought her home, " I thought you were just geting rats?". I wounder if she thinks 14 Balls and a big blood girl is to much.

I don't see it as a sales pitch, I see it as him rubbing someone's face in a new hopefully co-dom proven morph to let them know these aren't going to be underpriced or underappreciated.
