This morning my leopard female dropped a small litter of very interesting babies. The father is my best Motley male that always throws babies with very good Motley patterns. The Motleys that came out are mostly very dark/black. Many exhibit extensive striping. I only took a few pictures and will take more after they shed which will hopefully better show what they look like.

The strange thing about the litter is that in addition to the Motleys het for Leopard and the hets there is one leopard boa. This female hasn't bred before and obviously this Motley male is not het for leopard.

I am very happy to have this litter and hopefully add to the leopard project which i think will become a very popular and interesting project when the Leopard gene is put into a variety of morphs.
