just bought this guy about a week ago .bought as a fire . he has a granite kind of pattern on his side . i saw the sire to the clutch . he had the same granite look down his sides as well .. its probably nothing but i figured id get others input as well
I have many snakes that have the granite look to them, it doesn't mean it is genetic though. There is a genetic Granite but I just want to let you know that just because your snake has speckles does not mean he is a genetic granite.
so even if the father of his clutch has them its still not considered genetic ? was talking to the breeder but had to rush because my ride was waiting on me & got caught up looking at all the pied ball pythons he had lol
It is a genetic trait if it can be monitored from parent to child at a predictable percentage. It does not mean it's a "Morph" is more the point. Minute variations in pattern are perfectly typical in any animal, us included.

Children often look like their parents. Does that make it genetic? Yes it does. Does that make it a morph? probably not.
