Scientific
Name: Python regius
Common Name: Ball
Python
Morph: Labyrinth
Jungle
Genetics: Unknown -
I have produced "hets"
At
this time I do not know of anyone
who has proved the "Labyrinth
Jungle " to be genetic. I know
that very few people posses this "Morph"
also. This variant is not just a "busy
zig zag patterned ball python".
There is a lot more to them than that.
The head and eyes alone make this
snake look incredible........ and
the "Labyrinth Maze Pattern"
is a major eye-pleaser!!!! I see many
resemblance's between the "Labs"
and the "Classic Jungle"
and the "Woma/Tiger" balls,
especially in the head and eyes..........and
they all seem to share white bellies
also.
Against
a normal patterned ball python, Labyrinths
stand out tremendously......... their
color is fairly standard ball python
coloration..........but the pattern
is ALIVE!!!!! If the "Labs"
prove to be genetic they will make
a huge impact on the ball python market.
I want to see one of these guys as
an albino!!!!!!
All of the "Labs" I own
are imports..........they were all
either hatched in Africa or collected
in the wild. Time will tell if this
is a co-dominant trait or simple recessive.........or
nothing at all?????......I sure hope
it is genetic though, because they
are not just "slightly"
a mutation..........they are completely
new and unique!
~~
Update ~~ I did produce
babies from a "Laby" pair
in 2003..............all look totally
normal??..............are they double
hets for two different "types"
of Lab trait??.................who
knows??...............stay tuned.
