T, I think the pied is gorgeous. She has a strikingly unique pied pattern and great coloration. I think she is a little pricey but you can discuss that with the seller. If girlfriend is the pied person and she's digging it and y'all agree, I say pull the trigger. The very interesting fact as you know already the amount of white she has or doesn't have has no impact on the future hatchlings white percentage she will produce for you.

I prefer medium to high white, but this a low white I would buy. great pattern, beautiful snake.

I don't think the price is unreasonable at all. yeah, you might be able to get one slightly cheaper, but will GF love that one as much as she loves this one? Always buy a snake that you love.

Oh we picked them both up The first one (original post) was the female very low white pied (one the GF fell in love with) we couldn't meet up today due to our schedules but we are going to pick it up tomorrow, and the second pic I posted is the male Black Pastel het Pied (one that I found and wanted, I'm a sucker for the Black Pastel gene) we picked him up this evening for a steal of 100 bucks!! Supposedly it is from the same line that produced the first Panda Pied for Colin Weaver I actually just found that out tonight as I was talking to the breeder when I went to pick him up ... I need to fact check it a little bit more to confirm it, but I am going to make another thread in the near future to discuss that

LOL, of course you did. Always buy a snake that you love!

Fantastic T! The deal on the pied pair definitely balanced out. You absolutely can't go wrong there. A pied pair m/f for that price. Even if the ball python is a het pied! Congrats. Kudos to the breeder for releasing that info about the black pastel h/ pied.

Yea I did a little bit of digging lastnight online and come to find out that Yes, Colin owns and opererates East Coast reptiles and is local to me right here in Virginia Beach but it was actually his friend Ian (who also works at or at least did at the time work at east coast) that actually produced the panda pied ... I guess it's not really that huge of a deal but I still think it's kinda of exciting and fun to know ... According to the breeder I got him from, the female that produced the male black pastel Het pied that I bought yesterday was a Hatchling direct from the the female that produce the first panda pied at east coast reptiles. On note of some more verifiable information, this line has some pretty strong odds, he said that the first clutch his female (my lil guys mom, she is a normal Het pied) produced was an 8 egg Clutch. Of those 8 eggs he hatched out 6 black pastel Pieds and 2 black pastels. What makes it more impressive is that the pairing was Black Pastel Het pied (male) X Normal Het pied (female)

@ T_Saur Amazing! Can't get much more reputable than Colin Weaver and East Coast Reptile Breeders. And Ian is at Outback Reptiles if my memory serves me correctly and their black pastel line is high quality. That sounds really good and I think you can rest assured on those fronts. Nice work and I can't wait to see these two put on size and produce for you.

If I remember correctly I believe I saw one of Colin's videos that said they work with the Barnhart line ... Does anyone know or have any information on the characteristics/features that make the Barnhart line?
