    It's difficult to not breed at least half-sibs when you have a one of a kind animal. These things inbreed in nature!!!

    I have a adult pair of het Paragon's. Wish me luck that I get them to produce this year! It is one of my side projects. I hope that they prove out. It is very cool snake.

    These guys (theurbanpython) are like a canadian ralph davis. I wouldn't hesitate to buy hets from them, even these toffee hets if I had the $$..

    here is the guarantee:

    Although we and many others have no doubt that the trait is inheritable, we can appreciate the potential anxiety that can accompany an opportunity that commands this level of investment. Therefore each and every Toffee offspring will be sold with a written agreement guaranteeing the genetics of this project. In other words your investment is 100% protected against the project not proving out. The long and short of it is we have no doubt that the Toffee Ball is a simple recessive mutation and we will stand behind that with a full money back guarantee.

    Paragon's are like the toffee, but with black speckling, am I correct? It's been such a long time since I've heard anything about them >.< good luck and please do keep us posted on the outcome!

    If you look on their site you will see that the animals from 3 different clutches all HIGHLY resemble each other. I am guessing that Craig is certain that they are "visual hets".

    I have 2 projects ongoing that where each of the males have produced offspring that have the same unique markers, although the clutches were from 3 normal females -- same kind of thing -- I hope!!!

    I seem to remember Urban Python sold something like 4.4 for 15,000 a pair back in the summer/fall of 07. They were around 400-500 grams at the time. They sold ALL of them in under a month after being offered.

    Re: Toffee Ball

    There were a total of about 15 het's that Craig made available last year. And another 1.1 about a month or 2 ago. And yes there is no risk as he is offering a full refund if it dosen't prove out. I picked up a male so lets hope it does prove out. Here's a pick of him with a girlfriend feom 2 days ago.

    Re: Toffee Ball

    Bill,

    Thanks and where on their site are the pictures of the other babies (I just found the two recently for sale). I definitely see a look (reduced, rich fading frosted chocolate, light boundaries, side pattern tending to widen and fork low if it does even go all the way down) to those two and the breeding male above. I’m just not sure I understand it well enough yet but got me wanting to go clean snake cages and compare.
