Beginings of a new morph.

[HCC MORPHS]

A few moths ago we purchased what looked to us to a good " dinker project". A male ball python with insane blushing and an almost full dorsal blush. He was mated to a normal female, in hope he proved out to be genetic. The paring produced 5 eggs ( 4 normal and 1 boob.)

Day 50 we slit them open, the 4 viable eggs contained what looked like to be 3 ( 1.2 ) morphs and 1 ( 0.1) normal. The boob egg although almost fully developed didn't make it.

Day 55 the snakes emerged from the egg.. We got 3 morphs all displaying the same characteristics as the sire.. Near to full dorsal pattern and dorsal blush and a normal which also displays the same characteristics.

Oooooooo congrats!!!!!

So......how much for a baby? lol

They look almost clown-like, my favoritiest morph of all time

Cool, looks to be pastel

Cool, looks to be pastel

That is what I see too. A low quality pastel with a lot of blushing. We have some friends with a pastel that looks almost identical to the sire. Congrats!

Gorgeous babies! That blushing is killer, very pastel like

We weren't sure of his genetics when we purchased him, and although he dose resemble a pastel i would hardly concider him a " low quality " morph. We managed to 1. beat the normal to morph ratio and 2. proved him to not only be a morph but reproduce himself almost perfectly.

We where a little bummed out when the "boob" egg didn't make it but it was also a morph. The total count was 4 morphs and 1 normal!! The photo taken was in their first hour out of the egg. Color and blush still have to come in with the 1st shed.

Thank you for the comments will keep posting as they mature.

Welcome to BP.net!

What color are your Dinker male's eyes?

The sire dose have some clown like features, had us wondering for a day or two if he wasn't a clown mix but the was ruled out due to the lack of the indicative clown head pattern.

ruled out due to the lack of the indicative clown head pattern.

That, and the fact that this "morph" seems to be a Co-Dom...

He is a good looking boy, don't get me wrong, but if he is indeed a pastel, his colors leave quite a bit to be desired and not what I would look for in a pastel. His blushing is insane, though. If you have a girl I would hold one back and breed her back to him. That should confirm his genetics. You hit the odds too getting 75% morphs. That is always nice, but unfortunately its just luck of the draw. Can't wait to see these guys once they shed. Keep us updated.
