Still a very cool snake, but yes, it lost what had originally made it "amazing".

I wouldn't mind the blacking out at all !! If only that brownish/gray hadn't filled in all the top spots.

That is the thing with ball python morph hatchlings, though. Many look simply mind blowing at a young age. Then slowly muddy and dull up. Many still look cool, of course, but nothing like they did when they were hatchlings.

That is why I'm so excited for people to work with morphs that are known to actually IMPROVE with age. Such as the desert ghost and some others. The single and double genes may not look as "crazy" as some of the other hatchling morphs, but wait till they grow up. So clean, such contrast, such color ! All the while improving with age.

I can't wait to see all the cool combos that will start coming out as more people work with these genes.
