All the ways to get a white ball python?

[Ax01]

that's one way to get them. other pairings may include:
Lesser het Pied x Lesser het Pied
Lesser Pied x Pied
Lesser het Pied x het Pied
Lesser Pied x het Pied
any Lesser-combo het Pied x Pied
etc. etc.

u can also swap out Lesser for Butter i suppose.

but keep in mind Lesser Pieds are susceptible to Microphthalmia aka small eyes. get Super Lessers and they may get big, buggy eyes. get Lesser Pieds and they may have small eyes.



i'm lucky in that my Ruby girl is perfect. (:

Breeding super lesser pieds is absolutely pointless in my opinion. You're just going to get a completely white snake, which is a waste of the pied gene. If people want a white snake you might aswell do it with as little genes as possible.

i've seen one Super Lesser Pied that had an all white body but with a lavenderish belly kinda like this lucy Burm: https://ball-pythons.net/forums/show...leucistic-baby i don't know if that was a once off, paradox thing tho. and a Super Lesser Pied can be very helpful in a project if the breeder wants to work the Lesser gene into everything (and create het Pieds). so no, its not absolutely pointless IMO. also Pied Lesser's and Pied Super Lesser's do not have blue eyes; they have black eyes w/ red pupils. so they offer something different besides their genetic power u can work into other projects. but to each their own.


Edit:

I have heard it argued that the white of a Pied is brighter/cleaner than the white of any BluEL, so it might not be a totally pointless project in that regard.

true dat!
