Introducing the Green Labby Ball!!!

[JHB Reptiles]

I would love to introduce a new project that we are working on over here a JHB. This is a brand new mutation and a joint project between JHB Reptiles and Next World Exotics. So the story goes... several years ago Jonathan Dvoretz at Next World Exotics imported a female from Africa and named it the Green Labyrinth ball python, needless to say when i saw the snake about 5 years ago i was amazed at the color and the pattern of the animal. The name Green Labyrinth or Green Labby as we call it was a perfect fit. After 2 seasons of trying to breed the original Labby ball unsuccessful, Jon finally got a clutch from her. The Bee x Labby pairing yielded 3 eggs and out came a labby male which I got the chance to raise up at my facility. I bred the Labby male to a normal female and produced another female Green Labby about 2 years back. This year we have a shot at producing supers from two female Green Labby's. I am extremely excited and humbled to have this wonderful animal in my collection and I can say the same on Jon's behalf. We are both anxious to see how the super form will turn out if there even is one. If not the animal in its Heterozygous form is a great looking snake. This year which I will show in another thread sometime soon in the breeding section we are breeding the male Green Labby to a number of animals and are excited to see how the Labby crosses come out! Pictured Below are all of the Labby's that are apart of this breeding program this year!

Here is the Original Green Labby Female


Here is her son, the proven breeder that we are breeding this year to a couple females for some first time Green Labby crosses!


Finally, here is our males daughter that I produced 2 years back, she is unreal!


So there it is! The Green Labby ball python, Im very excited about the future with this project and hope you guys are as well. Id love to hear what you guys think about the project so any feedback would be great. Keep your eye out, big things to come from these guys.
Thanks for taking the time to check them out. Hope everyone is having a great breeding season.

What exactly are the features of a Green Labby that make it different it from a normal?

[TheSnakeGuy]

I was wondering the same thing.

[zach_24_90]

I was thinking that too. Looks like a nice normal to me.. Does it do anything else or have you bred it to any morphs yet?

[JHB Reptiles]

Their pattern and color are completely different from any normals, ill take some pictures of some normals and labbys next to each other. The female i produced literally looks like she has green hues to her.

being bred to morphs this year, like i said it is something completely new. it is 100% not a normal.

[Pythonfriend]

looks new to me, basically the eyes of the alienheads and the color of the eyes of the alienheads, there is something going on here i think.

nice project. But much will depend on the supers, and how healthy and fertile the supers are.

[zach_24_90]

I mean I can see that it looks different but why wait to breed it to any morphs ?

[JHB Reptiles]

This is the first year ive decided to breed my male to any morphs because i wanted to make more green labbys first just to make sure and there are now 4 labbys to date.

I can see the difference. Next to a normal you could probably see the colors better. Good luck with the project. Hope there is a super for you!

[JHB Reptiles]

Thank you, ya the difference is really night and day in person.
