Interesting comparison shot

According to the breeder the lighter one is just a 50% ph caramel glow. It's intersting to see her compared to a normal and pastel.

With a normal:


With the same normal and a pastel:


I can't decided what to breed her with in the future. I have a ph ghost male in my collection with nothing with caramel in it.

Wow she is cool!

A perfect example of what I look for and what I try to avoid in a BP's polygenetic contributions to its coloration!

While beautiful, animals that exhibit coloration similar to the normal is exactly what I try to avoid for my projects. I find that kind of lineage combines poorly with pastel, ghost, enchi, and lesser platinum traits. There aren't as many morphs that do well with dark, melanistic genetics, but they are out there. They just tend to be the morphs I have little interest in working with.

However, the poss. het. is the exact opposite, pretty darn good coloration that would be a great addition to the above morphs.

The wide range of ball python coloration even among similar genotypes is probably the biggest argument that people should be darn picky with their breeding projects. Cool stuff and thanks for sharing

Id be willing to put money down she's at least het hypo. awesome looking girl there.

Yep, a perfect example of how het genes effect the over all appearance of normals and morphs.

pretty much, can't pick em out all the time, it's just subtle enough to be called recessive.

im sure you will, but let use know how she proves out.

My double het caramel glows look considerably different than any of my normals
