I know it has to be bred to see if it is genetic. Thats is why he is here with me. On a breeding loan to figure out what if anything is going on with him. Thanks to Mary Ann and Frank for letting me use this guy. I think he is awsome.
Sorry the pics suck!!

That Thomas is what you would call a "dark morph" ball python. They are always kind of overcast the color and pattern with see-through dark grey and black pigment with the sooty greenish-grey belly. They are neat but have proven repeatedly not to be genetic. I have tried them myself a bunch of times because they used to be the only really dark balls before the super cinny and such. By the way, nice pied. Evan

I have a male similar in color to yours in the top picture. I'm going to breed him to a dark female this season.
But on yours, hey "dinking" projects can be fun and rewarding, so why not.

Thanks you two. This is my first actual dinking project. I am putting together a list of who would be paired together for next season. This year has flown by. Good luck to the both of you.
