THE SUPER ZOMBIE,



Hey guys here is how this amazing morph came to be.

In 2006 I bred a red hognose female to a normal male and produced a clutch of were exactly half the babies were red and half were normal. Since the red gene is a line gene I thought it was interested and decided to keep the red babies. Having just bred my first pastel ball pythons at that time I thought it could be something dominant or co-dominant.



In 2010 I produced the first super zombie by breeding those F1 offspring together, and have since produced another 2 from a second female kept back in 2006. A friend of mine came up with the name zombie hognose because the offspring are all red with jet black eyes. As the super form ages the colors are washing out a bit and it almost looks like a very high red toffee. I have produced 14 zombies (co dominant red hogs) to date and 3 super zombies. So far the genetics are pointing out that this morph is indeed a new co dominant gene.





I have attached a couple of pictures of the original baby. When it was born and a year later. I am very exited to see what happens when we incorporate some of the other morphs into this gene.
