    Ball python recessive project?

    I want a new project an want to go recessive. Obviously pied an albino are the most popular, but I want answers from people experienced in recessive traits with their opinions on which produce the best color an pattern (which is what I'm interested in). I would love a pied, but I don't want a het an those are still fairly pricey for a female, which I would like it to be. I'm kinda leaning towards a clown, or maybe an axanthic but I hear they brown out? Opinions? Thanks!

    Sunset! Just kidding, although if you have the money, that would be sweet. Clowns are absurdly awesome, but so are desert ghosts. Also, I am crazy about black axanthic, but they are still really pricey I believe. What I would do is pick the morph that interests you the most, and go for it!

    clown and axanthic both look very nice combined with lesser-you could go in that general direction for some interesting mixes. Personally I adore ghosts and most of their variants, but they are apparently out of fashion at the moment...

    Re: Ball python recessive project?

    clowns are hot right now, and a lot more combos to come. check out the pastel enchi clowns. also albinos and pieds are favorites at the local shows. I'm working on albino pieds which will drop a lot of jaws at the shows. good luck with which way you go. don

    I agree with Rob. I love the hypo gene.
