Here is a new shot of oddball and she is coming along well. I kind have to chuckle when I see what some people title "Vanishing Pattern"
Should be fun to see what she can produce.

Hey Adam,

She is just really breathtaking and am glad she is coming along very well. Are you breeding her this season? Her sister sibling with me may not be ready for this season as she is not big enough to breed, maybe third after third shedding... but I really do not want to rush her since I don't want to risk losing her (knowing her background genes and all). If you can breed her this year, would you breed her with the extreme hypo that you got from Kevin Hanley?

Take care,

Hi again. How have you been? I do not plan to breed her this year based on her size now. She eats like pig but rather wait another year.
No rush have plenty of other stuff that will go. Her first pairing will be to the Extreme male and I see what comes of that. How is your sibling doing?
Hope all is well and you have a great year.
Regards,
Adam

Your oddball's sibling is doing well. She just shed yesterday and her color is just phenomenal...I mean she is like red-orange than the usual orange hypos you see out there plus has zero tipping. She's about 360 grams only but even if she reaches more than 400 grams by the second or even third shedding, I'll wait until next year. Besides, the male extreme I got last year from Mike Falcon is eating like a pig so, am hoping that the male extreme can mate with her next year. If not, I have a ghost male back up. I'll take a pic of her soon and post it later...

The tricolor hypo that you posted (the one you got from Marc Bailey) is stunning. Looks like you got a great year of breeding ahead of you. I also enjoy looking at your website! Good luck to you man and hope you get great hatchlings!

Take care,

I straight up laugh at most EVERY ad or forum pic of "vanishing pattern hondos", there will be hondos with perfect bands, and just because they tend to vanish,or a better term would be decrease on the lateral,they are called "vanishing pattern"..?, oh well. This is a perfect example of a vanishing pattern hypo. John lamberts vanishing albinos are perfect examples of vanishing albinos. personally,I think made up names for morphs is kind of weird,look at some of those names for the ball python. Anyways, just wanted to ad to the mix,

The coloration is incredible on that snake Adam. She has really turned out nice. Good luck with you projects this year.
