What to mix with a pastel jungle?

[llohcs1]

I have a pastel jungle ball python, she's only 2 months so it's going to be a LONG time before she's going to be bred, but I want to buy a male for her right now so she can kinda grow up with her mate. So I was wondering, what's a cool morph to breed to a pastel jungle?

Also, I will not be housing them together.

Pastel works well with just about any morph. I would recommend any of the following:

• Spider
• Fire
• Yellowbelly
• Black Pastel
• Lesser
• Mojave
• Butter
• Another Pastel
• Enchi
• Pinstripe

All of these are co-dominate/dominate morphs so you should be able to produce something cool on the first breeding.

For a more long term project, here are some recessive morphs. These will take multiple breedings to get something new (visually) but can really produce some cool snakes:

• Pied
• Clown
• Axanthic
• Hypo

The possibilities are endless! If you can invest in a multi-gene male, I would go for it.

Some questions to ask yourself:

Do I like light or dark colored morphs?
Busy pattern or reduced pattern?
Recessive or dom/co-dom traits?


I think pastel lesser/butters are quite nice! Same goes for pastel calico... pastel champagne..
