Diesel??

[TJsBalls]

I'm looking at buying a pair of Diesel ball pythons, but I can't seem to find much information about them.. I know they're not a new morph, but there is almost no info on the Internet, aside from a little write up on Toronto python guru's and alextreme's websites. So, first question, for those of you familiar with them, does this look like a diesel?

Secondly, had this gene been played with at all? I was thinking that diesel x spider, pinstripe, or pastel might be interesting, but I could be way off.

looks like a reduced pattern with spiderish sides to me. ive never heard of diesels but am very intrigued and will be paying attention to this thread.

I've never herd of deisel. Looks reduced pattern to me! What's the going price for this animal?

A local breeder has a male 2011 diesel listed at $1200, but the pair we are looking at is going for considerably less. Here is a link to Alextreme's page on the Diesel. http://alextremereptiles.com/en/coll...eltigerbanded/

I have never heard of diesel either and I wasn't able to find it listed on worldofballpythons.com

[TJsBalls]

Yeah, I couldn't find it either. I'm really confused by this, as Mike from TPG has them listed in his collection, and in his available section. Perhaps I should email him directly and see if I can get the skinny from him *shrug*

I don't know a whole lot about diesels, I have heard of them before, but they aren't terribly popular. That one looks like it could be a diesel compared to the picture on the link you provided, but it also looks like a snake that someone is just calling a diesel because it looks similar. Is the breeder you are getting it from reputable?
