My New Morph.....

[JoeEllisReptiles]

So it has been three years in the making and now I know it has to be genetic. I got a male ball that was a little off 4 years ago. I bred him once to a normal and produced 1.1 "weird" Balls and 1.1 normals. I held back the female to breed back to the father. Of course she was not wanting to grow and went off feed every other month. Last year I bred him to two females and produced 4.0 "weird" balls and 2.3 normals. Yeah my sex ratio sucks... This season I bred him to another normal and they are starting to come out today. I have seen 0.0.4 "weird" balls heads out and 0.0.1 normal. I am positive it genetic and I hope I can hit a super next season. They always have a light head spot, busy pattern, and the mustache like spiders on the face. Let me know what you think.

Looks pretty interesting.

Nice dinker project, any fully body shots? Its alittle hard to appricate the patterns without seeing the whole snake.

And Congrats on Proving This One Out

[JoeEllisReptiles]

I will post more pics as they start to hatch. I have twins in one egg that are "weird" This is three years in a row I have made these. Maybe I will get a few females this season. I am kicking myself in the ass for not breeding it to some other morphs. Oh well there is always next season.

Congrats Joe.
You gotta' love Dinker projects, and even more so when they prove out.
Is that the official name of it now, "The Weird Ball."

What other Morphs are you thinking you would like to see her crossed with?

[JoeEllisReptiles]

Honestly I am thinking the JOSIE Ball. I am throwing it into YB, Bee, Pastel, Lessser and Woma next season.

That's a cool project! Looks like the Congo

[JoeEllisReptiles]

it does have that look to it but every baby has that mustache I will post pics of the entire cluch when they hatch to get your opinions. I will also have them up at the richmond, va. show in a few weeks to show off. I will have the original male, the female from two years ago, and the babies. Thanks

Congrats, that's really exiting. Good luck with a super next season. I really like the '08 female.
