Brocks new 'Bug Balls' & updated Ultramel & Mimosa

Brock got in a couple "Bug" balls from Albinos Unlimited and had me over to take some photo's.
His Ultramel also shed out and was looking extra nice.

Speechless again! :) Thanks for sharing. By the way, forgive my ignorance, what's a "bug ball"?

I believe its a type of granite

Wow those nice, what clasifies it as a Bug Ball instead of a Granite?

Awesome! How do you get the Mimosa morph?

Nice stuff!
Your pics are awesome as always:gj:
That Ultamel is on fire and the Mimosa is the best Champagne combo IMO:snake:

Wow! Those are sure some stunners!!

Can someone please explain the "Mimosa"? I'm in absolute awe! Looks like it would be a combo of these (taken at Daytona 08)...

I would imagine the differences are that it is proven -- most are not, and it is unrelated to any other proven Granite line. It needs a "name" so as not to be confused/linked to any similar animal -- not all granites are created equal. :)

Mimosa -- SWEET!!! :banana::banana::banana::gj::gj::gj:

Mimosa is actually an orange ghost champaign. Perfect name for it seeing how the mimosa is orange juice and champaign.

super sweet stuff :sweeet: I remember the Mimosa's when they were babies and they were super orange, they have lightened up a ton.

Killer pics of some great snakes!!

Thanks Chris for posting the pictures!

My wife named the Mimosa balls and she did a good job if you ask me.

More on the bugs in the future!

Brock

I think out of all the names of Ball morphs the Mimosa is the most fitting if you know the drink then you'll know whats in the snake:gj:

I can't stop looking at that Ultramel....absolutely beautiful!

Is That Mimosa a Ringer ?

Yes that Mimosa is a ringer. Most of my Champagne's last year were ringers!

Are ringers common among Champagnes like they are in Calicos?

what makes an Ultramel?

is a ultramel just a name for caramel albino or is it a designer morph

An Ultramel is an Ultramel. It's a base morph just like a pastel or piebald.

It's not a caramel albino nor is it a designer morph.

Ultramels did used to be called caramel albinos from Noahs line in Africa.

They looked so different to other lines of caramel they called them ultramels.

We got an ultramel early 2008, and they were then being sold as caramels then.

Definately some stunning ball pythons :gj:

Beautiful snakes but that Mimosa is smoking!

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the Ultramel used to be called the Crider Line Caramel, but as there has been no trace of kinking associated with the other lines of Caramels they have named it something different.

HTH

Just can't get enough of the Mimosa, stunning animal!

Agreed, an Ultramel Champagne would be unreal how about an Ultramel Mimosa!

Congrats Brock and I tip my hat to you for sharing your animals with us, a true passionate man you are. :gj:

The Ultramel/Crider has been proven incompatible with most/all Caramel lines -- by Vin Russo if I remember correctly -- and therefore is a completely different morph from the Caramel lines.

I believe that the next few years will reveal the Ultramel to present itself differently in combos from Caramels -- and that the "kinking issues" with Caramels has been DRAMATICALLY OVERSTATED over the last decade!!!!!

Has anyone verified that Crider and Ultramel are the same morph, yet? I know I have seen Criders for sale recently.

Brock bred Ultramel x Het Crider...8 or 9 egg...All Normals...

So, either not the same, or sucky odds on that clutch. Any plans to explore further?

Awesome combos! I like them bought, the mimosa and ultramel.

Dangity dang, those are really great looking.
