Scientific
Name: Python regius
Common Name: Ball
Python
Morph: Granite
Genetics: Color
/ Pattern Mutation - Dominant as of
2003 ( RDR Line )
These
are very pretty ball pythons. These
snakes are patterned fairly normal.........but
where the "alien heads"
would be.......in those areas........the
pattern is speckled and peppered with
little black patches and flecks. It
gives the ball python a whole new
look. They also seem to have that
plain rusty colored head thing going
on like most aberrant ball pythons.
I have a group of these "Granites"
to work with..........time will tell
if these pretty ball pythons can be
duplicated. If they are genetic......maybe
"selective breeding" the
best ones back to each other will
produce a true "Granite"........"Cinnamon"
is the first thing I think of when
I look at these beauties.............
~~
Update ~~ I did produce
a clutch of eggs from my best Granite
female in 2003..............out of
four eggs..........there were three
incredible baby Granites................so
I would say that this is a dominant
gene as of now.............maybe there
will be a SUPER??
