I picked this guy up at the Richmond VA show March 30 for $100. It's a darn shame there has never been anything proven out on these beautiful Ball Pythons. All breeders I have talked to say they are just a fluke, unless someone is holding out on me. Fat Boy will breed him and he will have to prove to me he is just a fluke. The more I look at him the better I like him. Now I'm looking for a female. Check out the head markings.

I DO like that snake. Is that a 'deaths head' mark on the head?

Saw one on KS classifieds 3 days ago. Male $1500!!!!!! Has to be proven before a price tag like that is put on it! Like I said I paid $100 for him.

They used to call them Classic Jungle so you still might hear that name from time to time. I hatched out this one which I eventually gave away. I suspect they are caused by egg stress.

Of course if there ever is a genetic one it would be a shame if it didn’t get bred.

Such a beautiful snake, would be gorgeous to see as an albino.

They are cool - but I'd agree with Randy - that looks like egg stress not genetics.

Awesome dinkin' project tho!

Good luck.

The guy I bought this one from said it came from a Pastel to Normal breeding.

Very pretty boy... I have a couple kind of like him... they are great to look at even if they aren't genetic.

Nice boy!

I have two. One is a 100% het Pied male from Don Kaye(very unlikely to be egg stress). Definitely didn't pay $1500 for him Should have eggs within 2 weeks from a normal I bred him to. His father, who is a Pied, has the CJ look to him too. Nose markings, weird head pattern, etc.

My other male is a Lemon Pastel who has the wonky pattern, the nose markings and the weird head pattern. He makes awesome offspring.
