Black albinos and reversed pied? I wonder if a pied with black instead of white could be produced. Also has anyone ever produced a black albino?

thanks,
John

Black Albino = Axanthinc - I have heard the turm used in Corn snakes

Reverse Pied = I would consider a reverse pied a snake that had a white head instead of a normal color head like a pied has and the normal spot turn white and the white turns normal, That is my Version of a REVERSE PIED

YES, I have seen a few animals that had Black all over them instead of white, NOT like the PARADOX but it was more likw the Pied markings only in black.

WRONG... The only time I was WRONG is when I thought I was WRONG but I was really RIGHT.....LOL...LOL...LOL

Balls are one of my favorite snakes. Recently I made a decision that would affect the animals I keep. I decided to breed my kingsnakes a few time then retire them as pets and focus mainly on ball python morphs. What would you reccomend as a first ball morph to breed? I was thiking of pastels since its a co dominant trait and you can see the results soon with them. Also then theres the chance of super pastel when breeding pastel to pastel. What are the odds of producing a super pastel?

thanks,

For the reverse pied the closest thing made so far is the Super Paradox Hypo Mojave that the Sutherlands produced last year. Its a leucistic with semi normal patches of color. Perhaps Dan and Collette Can post a new photo.
Here is an example that we have that kind of fits your description. Unproven and probably some sort of Paradox...
The other sure way to make a reverse pied has not yet been done that is to breed a leucistic made from two seperate morphs to a shatter pattern. That would give you a white snake with black shatter ove the white..Give us a couple of years on that one...
A Black Albino is probably not doable since albinism is a lack of pigment.. But you never know....
