The Mojave Ball Python is of a co-dominant trait.
This mutation has without a doubt become a favorite among ball python breeders due to its many possibilities when bred to other morphs........
The Super Mojave is a type of Blue-Eyed Lucy.
This is a ball I like!!!! this is a "Dominant or Co-Dominant" trait, this is called " Labyrinth Jungle Ball Python" I produced my first litter this year 2006 half came out just like the father if you carefully look it over you will see a light patch near the back of head almost transparent and the sides have black speckleing through and by the heat pits there are black bars that run down to the mouth.I see many resemblance's between the 'Labs" and the "Classic Jungle"and they all seem to share white bellies also.Against a normal patterned ball python, Labyrinths stand out tremendously......... their color is out standing ..........but the pattern is ALIVE!!!!! they will make a huge impact on the ball python market. I want to see one of these guys as an albino!!!!!! This litter was born September,13,2006, as of right now this gene is Dominant but only time will tell if there is a super then this means this is a Co-Dom trait!!!!!
This is a gaw dropper!!!! this girl is so different I am hoping she is co-dom only time will tell.... I am calling her a Canary Ball Python what will supers look like? and this morph when bred into all the other morphs it will clean them up and make brighter!!!!!!!! I will have updated information when this snake produces for me....
Pastel Jungles seem to have an enhanced contrast in which "black" is "more black" and yellow is "more yellow." When bred to a normal, some of the resulting offspring will show with the same traits as the parent "Pastel(s)". Breed two "Pastels" together and get SUPER PASTELS!
These are some babies I produced from a Het son back to the Harliquin/Axanthic mother...... and with every shed they get nicer and nicer. Pictures really don't do them justice!!!!!!
Then we have this girl she is from VPI another very nice Axanthic !!!!
Harliquin/Axanthic- This mutation lacks the yellow and orange associated with normal ball pythons. As babies they are at their best: black,grey,and silver and in some cases brown. Many adults become less remarkable: some bloodlines show a bit of brown or yellow as they grow and become adults....I believe this is due to the fact that the axanthic trait in ball pythons is "less of "or "very little of" brown and yellow and orange coloration of the snake. This gene may actually be the absence of these layers but some blood lines may still have hints of these layers that ultimately lead to the yellowing of the animals as they grow. Axanthic may not be a 100% on/off mutation but a gene that allows the pigment formation of yellow and brown and oranges in very small quantities. Either way, The Axanthic is an essential gene in the creation of the SNOW BALL since it removes the yellow in the normal amelanistic albino.... producing a White or Near-White Ball Python, picture this Axanthic as a Snow !!!!!!!!! all I can say is WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Co-dominant color mutation – Yellow Bellies are beautiful animals with rich yellow and black colors. The homozygous or super form is the the Ivory Ball.
The real beauty of this morph is seen when they are crossed with other morphs – the Yellow Belly seems to unlock hidden genes in other morphs - when bred with true Granite Balls they produce the Ebony Ball, with a Pastel, the Pastel Yellow Belly .... and the Super Stripe is outstanding.
There are still many more Designer morphs to come from the Yellow Belly. We consider Yellow Bellies one of the most important foundation morphs in a breeders arsenal.
At this time, there are two accepted types of albino ball pythons. The best known and the first to be bred in captivity is the classic albino that was first bred by Bob Clark. This albino has a normal pattern. The pale pattern elements are white and the dark pattern elements are orange-gold or dark yellow in hatchlings and yellow in adults. These albinos fit the description of tyrosinase-negative (t-) albinism, and have pink tongues and pink eyes. This type of albinism has been bred through generations and is inherited as a simple recessive trait.
Spider Ball Pythons
Spider Ball Pythons are one of the most sought after and attractive morphs available! Spiders are dominantly inherited so if a Spider is bred to a normal, on average 50% of the clutch will be Spiders and the other 50% are normals. The normal siblings DO NOT carry any Spider genes.
The Cinnamon (or Cinnamon Pastel) is the heterozygous form of this co-dominant mutation; the homozygous ("super") form is a dusky, chocolate-brown snake with a white belly. Bred to a normal/wild type ball pythons, it is possible to produce Cinnamons in the first generation of offspring. This morph does not involve the Pastel Jungle gene, and due to this, many breeders have dropped "pastel" from the name, simply referring to these animals as "Cinnamons." The primary body coloration is a rich brown ranging from chocolate to coffee in shade, while the pattern is lighter reddish-brown, highlighted throughout with white edging, and characterized by teardrop or "keyhole" markings. Cinnamons are a key ingredient to some very appealing combination morphs, including the Pewter Pastel (Cinnamon x Pastel Jungle) the Cinna-Bee (Cinnamon X Spider), and the Super Cinnamon ball.
Butters are quite similar in appearance to Lesser Platinum ball pythons, yet descend from a different, wild-collected bloodline. These are beautiful snakes, with soft yellow markings and white highlights on a velvety caramel-brown background. The "Super Butter" homozygous form is also a Blue-Eyed Leucistic.
Someone found the pattern button & turned it WAY DOWN on these snakes! Pinstripes are a fabulous mutation, naturally hypomelanistic, with thin black lines & white highlighting. The amount of pinstriping varies from individual to individual, making this trait an excellent combo with other ball python mutations. I can't wait to add this mutation into all my other ball morphs...............
The Enchi is a relatively new morph on the ball python scene, and is quickly rising in popularity. Enchi balls are velvety in appearance, with heavily-marked, contrasty faces. This is also a reduced pattern mutation, which makes the Enchi an exciting component for refining & enhancing other mutations through designer combos. The Enchi morph is co-dominant trait; the Enchi is the heterozygous form of this morph, while the homozygous form is the Super Enchi. Initially this mutation was called the "Enchi Pastel," however, many ball python enthusiasts have dropped the pastel reference. It's obvious that the Enchi is much more than just another Pastel variation - Enchis were bred to Pastel lineage & hatched a new combo involving both traits, instead of a homozygous ("Super") Pastel of any sort.
