Meet the Panda Pied

So, in my search for a pied, I ran across this guy... Never seen anything like it before, so I thought I'd share it with you guys.


YouTube - Panda Pied Ball Python by Outback Reptiles

What are the genetics on that thing? Looks like he drew on a BEL with a sharpie. lol.

Yeah it was really cool to see it in person, $23,000.

It's certainly unique but not my cup of tea. Might look better if it's low white or have some alteenating pattern like a... zebra?

What'd you guys think?

I just looked that up and found this:

First:

Black Pastel x Pied - 50% chance of a Black Pastel het pied

Then:

Black Pastel het pied x Black Pastel het pied - 1/16 chance of a Panda Pied.

Wow.

While I think it's cool that the breeder was able to get something like that, it isn't my cup of tea either. Definitely different, though, which is why I couldn't resist the urge to share! What I want to know is how the heck it came out with a white head!

I like it but I would LOVE it if it had more black, 50/50 would have been better.

i love it.

ya more black would have been better. looks amazing though but i dont have 23 grand to throw around on a snake lol

I thought it was a super cinny pied.
There were a couple threads about this recently, maybe they have more info on the genetics.

Hey, now everyone...It's my cup of tea! That snake is amazing!

I really like it!!

That is the Black Pastel Pied now owned by Michael Cole...

The super cinny pied, when it gets produced, will likely be similar but not as much of a pure black.

SUPER black pastel pied. I know that's what you meant. :)

Super black pastel/pied. Ballroompythonssouth has it now. Awesome snake. I can't wait to see more like it, or the super cinny/pied to see if they all end up super high white, or if some come out more 50/50.

I love it but for that price I could get several on my wish list. :D

Im pretty sure this has been covered a few times before.

Still an awesome snake though.

It's only so much because it's unique. But it won't remain unique for long, there were many people working on it before this one was produced, I'm sure there will be several more made this year. I plan on having one eventually too. They are really cool.
