Harlequin ???

gardenmum Apr 03, 2006 02:35 PM

I see this term used every so often but can't seem to find any information on what it looks like. Just wondering what color this type is. Anyone know of a thread or something that talks about it?
Thanks!

It's a normal colored ballpython with an unusual pattern. As far as I know it hasn't (yet) been proven to be reproducable.

Sorry I don't have a picture handy, hopefully some of the people that have them will post some.

I like the Striped Harlequan looks almost like a Stiped Mojave I seen in the classifieds.
Is that a proven trait?

Thx

Mine is not proven yet, I am looking at next year or so to proven her out. When she gets large enough I will breed her to my Mojave male.

Here is an excellent example of a Harlequin.

1. Melty down dorsal stripe
2. Floating aliens
3. Melty up
4. Clear belly

That snake is very nice looking!!! So, is this a proven genetic trait or just something that happens haphazardly?

Looks like a normal snake, with some pretty markings.
