Can someone explain to me the "potion" combos?

[RandyRemington]

I just got my first mystic almost a year ago from Alan Cole so I'm really excited to have my first chance at combos this year. I'm breeding mystic X chocolate mojave and mystic X chocolate cinnamon mojave. Not sure what chocolate and/or cinnamon will do for a potion but will be fun to try and find out.

Those sound like fantastic pairings. Later this year I'll be looking for another 2 gene Mystic female to go with my Spider/Mojave.

Those are going to be some hot combos! Which mystic/phantom combos would you breed to a mojave and a butter?

I'm so knew to mystic I can't really give any advise. I'm just breeding what I have on hand (those are my only two Mojave girls). I'll be sure and post if something cool does hatch. I was surprised last year to hatch a chocolate pastel spider yb and how nice it turned out so maybe a pastel mystic would go well with a spider mojave? Are there pinstripe mystics? I wonder what a pinstripe potion would look like and if it would have a really broken up pattern like the super chocolate pinstripe (i.e. camo I think it is)? The lesser phantom (karma, right?) is a white snake so I would expect the same for butter mystic. Actually I'd love to produce a nice white snake like that as I don't have one yet even though everyone loves to say "not another white snake". For years and years a leucistic ball python was just a legend and suddenly they are passé.

Karmas are awesome, from what I've seen they are all white with a pink tint. Pretty awesome, AND they were not produced until last year, so if you produced one you'd be talking about a pretty rare snake.

The problem with being old is that while I've been around long enough to have followed the exciting early days in ball python morph breeding I'm also too old to remember it all or keep up with the huge number of morphs and combo names now. However, I think the karma was the first captive bred leucistic ball python and according to this link it was 10 years ago:

For maybe 10 years before that there were rumors of leucistics in jars in Africa or exported to Asia but no one ever seemed to have a picture.

Oh I see now, the one I was talking about is the "karma 2.0" not sure of the difference but here it is

Karma= Phantom x Lesser
Karma 2.0= Phantom x Butter (dont last year for the first time by Jeremy at JandD Reptiles)

Again, basically the same snake with some minor differences since the Butter and Lesser are so similar..

For the folks that say the can tell Purple Passions from Mystic Potions, I would be willing to bet if I stuck 5 Potions and 5 Passions in a box and asked you to pick which was which, you would not be able to do it.




Speaking of Potions, there is also a Black Potion which is Mojave X Mahogany.

Either way, they both look pretty sweet
I would love to have a phantom project in the future.
