What is a MUDSLIDE Ball Python?

macgano Mar 15, 2006 11:16 AM

Hi, My name is Rich Macias and have been reproducing genetic reduced patterns for many years. During this time, many people ask me why I label my particular breeding group "mudslides". This question is very understandable since reduced patterns have been around and are almost as commmon as "black backs" and "gold stripes (not to be confused with genetic stripes)".

Their are many different types of reduced patterns around. All have very little spotting (if any), however the reduced patterned animals still maintain different patterns including black back, banded, tiger, and womas. The "mudslides" I am describing are GENETIC BLACK BACK REDUCED PATTERNS. Intead of always using 5 word/initial label (GBBRP) I chose "mudslide" to describe this particular type of genetic reduced pattern (GRP).

Dude, just had to say, the animal at the very bottom is absolutely gorgeous! Great job with the pattern, and keep it up, man. That is insane!

We might need a hunter's guide here, but...I think my little guy looks pretty similar to your alcoholic beverages.



He has the abberant neck pattern, black back, fewer spots than normal, white belt. I understand that only breeding can tell, but he does look similar. -Joe D.
