can someone post some pics of a harlequin, and explain how they are different from normals, recessive?, co-dom?, dom?, and what combos they produce??? Thanks.

I think the picture will explain why its different.

That is not what is generally none to be a harlequin , but still a grate looking Ball that has something going on with it more than likely . And yes as for as I know harly’s have not been proven out yet ,they are a natural occurring mutation , but not yet proven genetic . But I be leave Ember Ball. Has a pare that are going to be bred this year or next year and we will see what happens with them . My male is old enough but not yet big enough to breed as he was a non feeder and it has slowed him down in the growth department . But just last feeding he ate for himself for the first time in two years , so maybe there is hope for him yet . It has been a struggle just to keep him alive and healthy . Good luck and god bless .

Holy Hell! TWO YEARS!?! Well congratulations on that one! Someone needs to tell you it. I bet that was a HUGE sigh of relief...

Yes it is always a relief to get one eating for the first time , I have had some go longer then that . but that is what I do . And have been doing for a long time and for a lot of people . I have saved so many expensive morphs as well as bush baby ‘s (mostly males) for others , including some big breeders . I mean really , why let something die because of lack of experience or lack of time when there is someone with booth that is willing to put in the work to save them . Thanks for you comments . David

All you have to do is look !!!!

three more !!!!

I am confused, because the one you show has a stripe down its back. I thought this was called a genetic stripe, and it doesn't look like the same snake that triton20x posted. IDK. It is beautiful. Does anyone know what combos have been made with them? Just curious.

Here are my girls:

Am I correct in assuming is has something to do with the pattern "blotches" on the sides?
They appear to be uneven and random?

A "Harlequin" I have always believed to NOT be a morph... not codom... not recessive. Harlequins are fancy looking normals that haven't been proven... but they are usually past fancy and are excessively noticeable visually, and are different. They can vary in color, pattern, stripe, no-stripe, etc.

I may be wrong, someone can probably chime in otherwise. I'm not sure what Anthony's Harlequin was like... or what he means by the title..

So far as I know they have not been proven to be co-dominant(ie having a super form)..A few may have proven theirs to be dominant,but then again that label gets tossed around alot.Who is to say which of these is the same or which(if any)will actually prove out with a super.

I've seen quite a few different looking animals that folks were calling "harlequin"..So buyer beware on the unproven stuffs..GL

Thanks guys, I was just curious because I have a harlequin macaw that was made using a blue and gold macaw and a green wing macaw. Very off topic I know, but I figured it would be cool to own a harlequin macaw AND a harlequin ball python. Thanks again guys.

My friend owns a breeds Harlequin Sheep, LoL. They're spotty black & white, long haired, with a whole lot attitude. So you could have a Harlequin Macaw, Python, and Sheep, if you wanted! LoL.
