Go to world of ball pythons and look up the special cinnamon. Mine don't look like that but when you consider how all of the subtle morphs that are in the leucy complex like the special, mystic, phantom, and russo, all lighten whatever morph they are combined with that is not in that complex, plus they all have a similar jungle pattern, it's an obvious first choice of breeding to rule out what it might be.

Sorry for the run-on sentence lol
I checked it out, that's interesting. I still lean towards the jungle though. It explains the linking that tends to occur. Personally, I hope it not in the BEL complex. I hope you figure out what's going on with your group, if you get the opportunity I would love to see what you have going on there. You can send me a link if you posted it or an email to montoya@myactv.net. Thanks for the assistance.

Thanks, It has been difficult since deserts tend to throw different looks and colors. I knew something was up early on, but it wasn't until the pastel breeding that I saw it come though to another morph. Now that the cinnamon clutch is out with this result, I am more positive on it.

I bought that desert male because he had a different look to him, but I am still surprised he throws that. I don't see many visual markers on him like some of the offspring.

That desert cinnamon is awesome looking. Not many have been produced and only one photographed that I can find. I think it contains that other gene in it. It is very hard to get a picture to show her true colors. I will post a post shed soon.
