Making Ocelots

[SMDminnesota]

Can anyone tell me what to look for as far as traits to make Ocelots (leopard lesser pinstripe) that look like the first couple pictures on http://www.worldofballpythons.com/morphs/ocelot/. I have a great colored lesser male hatchling and a pretty clean pin male. I'll be doing my first pairing this year to a possible genetic reduced or banded female with my pin male.

Also I'd like to eventually throw some clown in this project. Thoughts?

If anyone could give some insight that would be appreciated. Would it be better to go with reduced or busier patterned animals?

Get a nice and BUSY female Leopard (or combo)! Lessers tend to produce varying degrees striping when crossed with Leopards, so make sure the Leopard pattern is all jacked up

But you may never actually be able to reproduce what you see on WOB...Good luck!

Look for busy patterned/spotty Pinstripes and equally busy Leopards as stated above.

Haha just as I feared. Most of my BP's have nice clean patterns. Back to saving and more collecting. Thanks for the tips guys!
