Hey, I've been keeping Ball Pythons for a little over a year. My wife and I decided we are going to start breeding this year. I am soaking up as much info as I can and this forum has opened a whole new can of worms! Here's what we have:
1.0 Calibee(Aldo)- 1080g
1.0 GHI Het Albino(Freddy)- 391g
0.1 Normal Poss Het Albino(Sammy)- 1300g
0.1 Pastel(Nala)- 201g

We are planning on two pairings so far, Our Calibee to our Normal to prove him. Sammy is eating like a boss, so I anticipate her being more than ready by April or May. We are also pairing him with a Mojave that a friend has. Glad to be a part of this site, it seems like a great community!

are u trying to prove that Sammy is het Albino? if so, pairing her to your Calibee won't help much as u would be producing more possible het Albino's. u would need to pair her w/ Freddy, your GHI het Albino (or another visual Albino) to see if see can produce the visual recessive Albino gene animal u desire.

anyway...

Thanks! I will post pics once I'm off work. I intend to try and prove the Albino with Freddy. Though, I am hoping to prove Calico in Aldo. I bought him from an individual that couldn't care for him, and was sold as a bumble bee. After doing my research I believe he is far too high white to have only the two genes. I will show when I post the pictures, but that's why I want to prove him this year.

Thanks! Provided everything goes well this year, I plan on going down an extensive road with the GHI gene. I think Nala will produce some amazing GHI Pastave babies!

Welcome!!! Nice group, Aldo is a stunner!!

[tttaylorrr]

am i alone in thinking that Nala can't only be a Pastel? that pattern isn't typical.

regardless, you have a lovely group!!!

That's what I thought too, I posted in a few reptile pages on facebook and everyone seemed to thing single gene.. And none of the parent possibilities make sense to me..

If I remember right, the pairing was Banana Pastel X Pastel Leopard. I thought for a bit it might be pastel leopard but the pattern would look different.

Any ideas? Maybe the parents had something missing in them?

And thanks for the compliment!

You can always check out the genetic wizard on World of Ball Pythons website if you want to fall down a rabbit hole.

I'll admit that I've lost hours playing with different combos and odds. :X

It's also fun to play with potential combos that you don't have so you can do some future planning. My wishlist has grown because of this site (like I needed that to happen lol).

Also, WELCOME!
