Please excuse my ignorance. I'm new to morphs but I'm trying to understand how it works.

The BP for sale is a "one of a kind" and hasn't been bred so no one knows what it will produce. How is that considered a new morph? Doesn't it have to be proven somehow? Can it be consistanly reproduced?

To my untrained eye the BP pictured looks like a poor example of a black eyed leucustic. Poor example because it has two dark spots.

Am I reading this incorrectly?

Thanks, JohnNJ

Like camb and BillB posted it's a combination of known morphs. It's a double homozygous for both piebald and either cinnamon or black pastel. So we can be pretty confident of how its genetics will work. I really like it and think it's much better looking than I thought it might be after it took so long to get the initial pictures released. It will be interesting to see how variable the black/white ratio is as more are produced but I like a mostly white snake.

It is not a new morph, but a new combo. It is a super black pastel pied, and was produced by Ian G breeding black pastel het pied x black pastel het pied .

Being a combo the genetics are already known, if bred to a normal all the offspring would be black pastel het pied.

Thanks for the info.

What does this kind of breeding do to the snakes health? I read something about a head wobble. Anything bad being passed on among morphs?

Thought I had commented on this animal, but, it seems that I became distracted on the breeders website!

Anyway, superb looking combo.

Can't see the isse with the nose / head that has been mentioned though?

The same thing happened to me! I love the Panda Pied, but he has quite a few other snakes that I would love to see under my tree as well!!

In my opinion, that is the first pied combo that is as beautiful as the origional pied.
