I just wanted to share some photos of a couple of "unique" babies. There are some Genetic Stripe Ball Pythons that have perfect, unbroken stripes and then there are...well, these guys!

I think perfect, unbroken Genetic Stripes are definitely awesome animals. However, not everyone can be perfect

I like to refer to these guys as "cryptic Stripes". The pattern on them is so broken up they no longer really even look like Genetic Stripes! At first, I wasn't too fond of the broken stripes and I know a lot of people don't like them either. However, the more I saw them and the more broken up the patterns came out, the more I liked them! Now it's almost like they are so "ugly", they're cool - like a "sexy-ugly".

Now if we can eventually produce babies with the broken, "cryptic"-looking pattern all the way down their back, that would be pretty cool looking. Or how about one with a stripe that is broken up it forms circular patterns all down its back - a Motley Ball Python!

Anyways, I just wanted to share some photos of a couple of "sexy-ugly cryptic Stripes"...

What do you guys think?
