A few of my breeder males

[Russ Lawson]

I felt like my breeder males were underrepresented in the photos I have of my collection, so I decided to try to get some photos of them today. Unfortunately, the adults are always the least cooperative in photo shoots, so I was unable to get decent photos of a few of them. Below, I've included the ones that did come out well, though.

2005 Orange Hypo Male - Got this guy from Mike Wilbanks. He was the second ball python mutation I purchased. The paradox spots on his head and tail are showing up pretty nicely in photos now!


2008 Male Lemon-Line Bumblebee - Got this guy from Brad Boa. Still one of my favourite examples of this combo! I'll let his photo do the talking.


2009 Male Faded Albino Het VPI Axanthic - Got this guy from Josh Tucker at Ultimate Pythons. He came from Pro Exotics stock, and should make some very nice snows. I am waiting on a clutch from this guy to a female het VPI axanthic 66% ph albino. She should be coming up on her post-ovulation shed soon.


2010 Male Caramel Albino - Got this guy from Heather Wong. He is from the Bell line, and I think he's an excellent example of the caramel albino mutation. I was trying to make a couple clutches of double hets with this guy this year, but haven't seen any locks. Only time will tell I suppose.


Thanks for looking!

Nice looking animals Russ, I have a female OG from Mike and mine has a few dark spots too, I wonder if its in the line. Quite a few handsome boys you got there

Thanks Raul! Not sure about the paradox spots being common in Mike's hypos. I'll have to ask him if he's noticed any sort of trend like that when I see him at Daytona. I only started noticing them I think when he was around the 500g or so range though, so it might be harder to pick out on the small ones.

nice animals, The paradox spots on the hypo add even more contrast to a already vary nice animal.

I didn't notice it on my girl until she was an adult too.
