The key....?

nah....just a ball python with a white belly.....i mean sure there is ALWAYS a chance...there is a chance i could grow another leg tomarrow...but honestly u have a better chance at winning the lotto twice in a row to have gottan urslef a het for pied....

Good Luck :) Mike

dont listen to him, all of my hets for pied look like that. my pieds look like that, and so does my spider. you might even pull out a new morph. good luck.

that was kinda rude what ya just said.......me and everyones mother has a ball that looks like that....doesnt mean its nothing just that everyone and their great uncle is working with something simular....all I was saying is that the chances of him getting a HET that no one knew about i=s highly unlikely........maybe next time instead of posting a rude comment you should read the whole post because I clearly said "their is a chance".....

I don't think it has the wide dorsal pattern to go with the white belly like the ones that have produced the white snakes.

However, IMHO, the chance that it might be something genetic (hopefully the het for a more extreme homozygous) is considerably better than the lotto. I wouldn’t bet a lot of money on it (if the Snakekeeper’s awesome coffee can bomb then anything can). It’s just my guess that there is a decent chance and I don’t have a lot of experience to back it up. Breed it and let us all know in a few years!

Thanks for comments. Of course i´ll let you know.
Thats the funny thing with breeding ballpythons, You never know :-)

mike,
no hard feelings man, i didnt mean to be rude. i was just encouraging tompa because thats what our hobby is about, trying. dont feel bad, criticism in genetics is everywhere. my business partner is a biologist, and i am in forensic science( dna analysis), and we debate our pythons genetics all the time. this is just one common genetic marker that hets, pieds, and some ringers have that might hold some value when someone is trying to produce pieds from nothing. sorry if i came off rude, but i didnt mean it. good luck tompa

No problem....lets just forget about it lol :)

Later.....Mike
