Thanks! We did a lot of looking around for a female that we thought was exceptional quality. We got her from Michael Cole. To us she looks like she is reduced due to fewer of the white dots and very distinct lines. Our male came to us from a deal with a local that is also trying to get into breeding. While his pattern and the brightness of color is not as nice to us as our girls, he is one of the most docile and friendly ball pythons we have seen.
