Harlequin?? Ive been told thats what he is but he doesnt look like anything Ive seen?
So I thought I would reach out to the ball python community and see if anyone had any insight. I also attached a picture of him with one of my normal females so you can see the color difference.[IMG]http://i1124.photobucket.com/albums/...5-25001837.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i1124.photobucket.com/albums/...sVendetta2.jpg[/IMG]

You know my eyesight isn't what it used to be, a closer inspection is needed :P, he's nice

That guy is the closest thing ive seen to my dinker female! a few people have told me that she looks like a harlequin but I think shes different. I definitely think we both got something new here! Heres my girl

Unless something has changed in the last few years, harlequin is just the word used to describe a random pattern mutation with a long stripe. It isn't usually genetic though.
I'd still love to dink around with it though. I love the looks of those striped ones.

Looks like a Harlequin. But the thing is, Harlequin BPs are not genetic. Just a funky normal. You could call it a Earthquakemegapoopy ball if you wanted :D, because its just a cool normal, and people want to toss a name on it. All in all, its one sweet lookin' norm. :gj:

Re: Harlequin?? Ive been told thats what he is but he doesnt look like anything Ive s
Beautiful girl. So you wanna sell her?? Lol If I can prove anything out ill give you credit :) And to my knowledge they aren't genetic but who knows. I bred him to a normal this year to see what happens. Anyway I am serious about buying your girl if you do want to sell her that is :)

LOL I was actually going to ask if you wanted to sell him or maybe let me breed him to my female and I would give you a couple of the babies. Im actually living in Olympia WA rigt now for a while so im not too far from you It would be cool to maybe have him come over for a date! lol I cant wait to see what he produces with your normal! Im breeding her to my lesser this is a pic of him

Re: Harlequin?? Ive been told thats what he is but he doesnt look like anything Ive s
Yeah, the more I look at your girl the more I say they are identical! I really would at a min like to possibly breed them together if you weren't willing to sell. We would have to discuss it though but I don't think me taking a trip to Olympia is out of the question. I go up to Seattle from time to time for kicks. I do most of my breeding right now with a buddy of mine who has started his own company. so most of my stuff is over there at the moment. So no chance of you selling her?

Re: Harlequin?? Ive been told thats what he is but he doesnt look like anything Ive s
Yeah Ive searched all over trying to find something like her and he definitely looks like her a lot! I dont think Im interested in selling her right now but I will be going back to Alaska eventually so if I dont end up being able to take her I would be more then willing to sell her to you especially with that male you got!
I was thinking about trying to breed her out of season to my lesser just because shes at a really healthy weight of 2680 grams and has never been breed but I havent decided yet:confused:

Yeah definitely keep me in mind I would love to add her to my collection. We will definitely have to set up a "snake date" before you go. I also wanted to show of my pastel female that will be ready to breed next season. It may be hard to see in the picture but all of her yellow on her back is white. I'm really excited to see what she does next year. http://i1124.photobucket.com/albums/...60/TRINITY.jpg

I have one similar.
4 eggs in the incubator from her to a captive hatched Yellowbelly. 2 weeks left before I can cut them.
Mine's a bit browner though.

I noticed your wanted list keeps growing daily lol. I cant post wanted because there are way too many.. Not enough time or space to list them all. I am posting an open offer to buy all striped females with any weight.. and again I find myself up searching the local Craigslist and Kingsnake only to be disappointed that I don't have enough money for what I want.

Yes Harlequin is genetic. I know this as I have experience with the morph. Check out this thread as well.
http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...in-Wide-Stripe
Toward the end I posted some pics of the babies I personally hatched out. As well as what may be the super form.

The Rio morph as I understand it is not the same as the Harlequin. The colors are different as well as the pattern. Very cool though just not the same.

Even those look similar but still have tons of key holes and broken stripes. Mine has two breaks near the head but dont think he has any key holes. I would like to get ahold of AK's Female and see what I could do with that. Who knows maybe its something completely different. Whatever that yellowbelly/fire morph was on that post was insane. I recently just saw a fireXDesert and now that I saw that im on the lookout for a couple deserts..

As of right now she's not for sale. This season SHOULD prove her codom or not...but if it doesn't I'll probably try again next season with a son to see if she is recessive.
If she doesn't prove out at all...maybe...but I'd have to get at least what I paid for her from Outback.

Just out of curiosity what did you pay for her? And did they sell her as a "normal" or what?

Wow... That pattern is smooth...
I havent seen anything like it.

Hillsboro, Oregon but those are "friend" prices so if you want that price I would have to get them for you. I have done business with him for awhile so he gives me a great deal.
