    I've heard of the kool aid staining with Leo's but not with ball pythons.
    Either way that's a gorgeous php there! Good luck proving him out.

    No no. Its a normal ball python that has some banding to its pattern. If you look at NERD's morph page the BP they have as normal also has some banding. The normal ball python pattern has a lot of variation normally.

    Yes. The banded pattern, or the striped pattern, and reduced pattern, can be heritable, but it's not a specific mutation. It can be selectively bred for.

    Yes people are essentially dying animals now. Like I said earlier I ran across that in a Leo forum. Another breeder had actually seen it at a show. There were some extremely odd brightly colored Leo's and he had asked what morph they were and the breeder proclaimed the "kool aid morph". I think it wouldn't be as easy with bps. Most normals are passed off by scammers as the more variable morphs like "Spector, yb, het reds etc" To try and dye a normal bp with kool aid just wouldn't work very well bc of the dark back ground. It's easier w Leo's bc even normal Leo's or shtct have a lighter background that ultimately accepts the kool aid better.

    Sad but true.
