Sugar and Calico Question

[guambomb832]

Is a sugar ball python the same as a Calico Ball Python? I mean they both have the white sides and stuff.

They are the exact same thing, just have different names

I think the sugars look better in my opinion, there seems to be more white on them

I do not think they are the same.

I think that there is a HUGE difference.

I don't see the difference. I thought they had been crossed and proven to be the same. I'm sure there are some minor differences (as between a lemon pastel and Graziani pastel), but it's the same gene.

the 2 pictures that pat posted look pretty similar except for the pattern variation that pastels have

[Patrick Long]

No way....comparing two lines of pastels?!?!

I would have maybe agreed if you had said lesser/butter but not different lines of pastels.

Its completely different looking. Not just a different shade.



The calicos IMO have a much stronger white, that doesnt melt like the sugars do

I find this topic very interesting and have for some time.

Do you have a link to where they were proven to be the same? I am very curious, not just tryin to bust yer balls....LOL
