white stripe around body, genetic?

[Ginevive]

I was wondering if any of you breeders ever came across this, and bred it, and know if it's genetic? This snake has a whitish ring around its entire tail, as you can see in the pic. I am looking for a female to pair with him. You think he is a sort of "poor person's ringer"? Me being the poor person.

I dont know anything about genetics, but my new addition has a couple of those rings around his body also.

[Ginevive]

wow, I would love to see a pic of that.

[Ironhead]

You got it.......

[RPlank]

My possible possible het piebald, Zeus, has one of those........




and here's what it looks like across the bottom.....



Genetic? Don't know, but it'd be cool if it was!

[Ginevive]

Wow, it'd be cool if I inadvertantly adopted a het for piebald. I can dream, right?
He doesn't have any coloring on his belly below the stripe, though. But it';s still an interesting trait. If I see a female with a ring like that, I'll be snapping her up.

I had a ball python that was funky like that.

Check out Cheeto and the link "pattern".

wow nice lookin snakes on there, i really like the burm.

My ball has that similar "blush" pattern on her black, bait. Her dark spots fade out in the middle and she's developed a really interesting buttery yellow color on some of her side markings.

Want the burm, Brandon? lol Did you happen to look at the 'incident' I had?
UberAlice, you should see the new Ball Python females I just bought. I talked about them on my "Breeders" page. I'll get the pictures up soon. They're SO funky looking. Lindy Johnson said some people sell them on kingsnake.com for like $500 as "Leopard" or "Labyrinth" or something, but they're just normal Spider siblings.
Oh, Ginevive, I was at Petco a few weeks ago... They were in the process of cleaning out their Ball Python display cages so none were out there, but there was shedded skin in there... One of the skins had no pattern on it whatsoever. There was a Ghost in there! But they wouldn't let me go through their stock!!
