Has the shatter pattern been proven yet? Is there a super to the shatter ball? What are the origins of this morph was it from a wc or did it first come about through selective breeding of captive animals. Is this a genetic trait or a product of the environment/chance. Does anyone have really good pics of them or where to find them? I went to the SK website and viewed their photos (only 3 or 4 of the same animal I think). To me this morph is not that esthetically pleasing it looks like a mutation/diseased skin. Maybe my attitude is subjective because it reminds me of vitiligo (skin condition that causes loss of pigment w/ irregular pale patches of skin) – the disease Michael Jackson claims to have. This appears unnatural compared to other morph patterns (“mutations”) it looks as if the snake’s dna/chromosome and other genes have truly undergone a mutation due to environmental factors (human contaminants to the natural habitat).

Originally I had found a couple in shipments of ch babies....they all were smaller than normal babies, and had tough sheds....I picked them up, helped them out, and later sold them to Amir. I picked up another female, this one a yearling, from a ch hoarder, lol, and sold it to Amir as well, he produced pastel shatters(he's calling them chaos balls), and is gonna cross them into other co-doms from what he has told me........
they make pastels looks awesome, check out VPI's site and look at theirs....
