Hope someone can clarify this for me: I was under the impression that to get an ebony, you have to breed a yellow belly to a granite. I was looking at nerds new website and they have something different for YB x granite. Does it have something to do with the lines involved or something else I am missing?

Amir - produced the Ebony from a Granite x YB - no other known genetics involved. Followed by a whole lot of people trying but not getting Ebonys - but all granites are not created equal - perhaps there is still hope. Lots of Ebonyish looking snakes getting imported - nothing substantially proved as of yet. There may be more to the story but that's all I've heard thus far.

Anyone ever thought about a whirlwind x granite?
The original thought about them was they were yellow belly sibs, or yellow bellies and most have been found by mistake when trying to produce ivories, so maybe the ebony was a granite x whirlwind, or a sable type granite x whirlwind. As tosha said not all granites are create equal, so it might of been 2 odd animals that fit known morph discriptions, but were not infact what they apeared to be.

Just a thought...

I had heard that no other Ebony has ever been produced, even when breeding the original pair together. Anyone know if this is true or not?

Dont know if its true or not but i did see in the classifieds today someone was advertising some ebonys for sale that were from africa. I'm pretty sure they looked like ebonies but i'm certainly no expert.
