Scientific Name: Python regius
Common Name: Ball Python
Morph: High Gold
Genetics: Unknown

High Gold ball pythons are the prettiest of the 'Normals".Where a normal ball python is brown, the High Golds are a beautiful gold/orange color. I have a small group of these beauties to work with that where imported from Africa several years ago.. I'm not sure if they will be genetic because sometimes in any random breeding a "High Gold" may pop up.........but this is rare.........I have never randomly produced a high gold ball as nice as the ones in the picture series.The eyes are light green like a jungle, the black and gold/orange contrast really catch the eye.

They are all adults now and still stand out as a "Gold" ball python against any normal.......This mutation will not set the world on fire.........but if it can be reproduced........it will be great to use as "founding stock" for other mutations. I have seen Pastel Jungle balls that did not look this good!!!!!!!

I hope to breed "High Gold" x 'High Gold" and get a small project rolling with hets............if it does breed true..........I think I would first breed it into the Albino and Pastel Jungle lines......

I have the small group of the "High Golds" and I also have a small group of what I call "Killer Bees"..........the Bees are a more "yellow/gold"........I did breed my original Killer Bee male to a normal and produced normal looking babies in 2001............it will take some time to breed them back to see if it is a simple recessive trait or not...........ain't it fun.....:)
