    Might be a new Morph

    And I know you will be surprised, but I have NOT named it yet!
    Has a Desert look to it.

    Not knocking it at all but a lot of these 'new' gene snakes seem to look really similar to a normal.

    What I want to know is around how often new super visible color/pattern gene snakes pop up. Things like GHI, Banana, Pied, Clown, etc...

    I know there's not a solid answer but on average maybe?

    Again, great looking snake

    What exactly does the gene do?? How have you proved it out?

    Doesn't look like any desert I've ever seen.

    It's true. There are a lot of new "co-dominant morphs" that I would scarcely or never recognize from a normal. Too many of them to name but play around with the big morph list on World of Ball Pythons and I don't think it'll take you long to get question marks above your head. I think a lot of them actually have a much more legitimate case for being called het for whatever the "super" form is, and the "super" be considered a recessive morph. Just have the subtle differences be accepted as genetic markers. We see it in the het pied and het red axanthic, so it's not like this doesn't happen already. To me, that would clean things up quite a bit. But that's just my 2 cents FWIW.

    Mine are from a big female I got many years ago.

    I never thought much of her until I saw Chris over in the UK hatch out his Splatter Balls. It just so happened that I had a clutch hatching from this big female that looked similar to his hatchlings. So, I held back a male, sold the female hatchling (should have kept her) as a dinker, and eventually bred the male back to the original female. This is the result of that breeding. Three have shed now, and look pretty promising. Cool head patterns....not all new morphs are going to be Pieds or Clowns.

    Looks normal... Since you didn't give us any history on it I'm guessing it's not proved out but just a weird looking "Dinker" ? Definitely doesn't look desert either..

    I'm not sure Desert is a good comparison, but I think I see what you mean. It wouldn't surprise me if you were on to something. Looks like something more than a normal to me. Either that, or it's a really nice normal that would be great for line breeding...Good luck Dave. I'd be interested to see what you find out...
