I know that she towers over him, but I can't wait to see the reduced pattern pastels they will give me.

JMHO, FWIW, YMMV.

hey I emailed you about that female when you had her up for sale in the classified section. Just curious why you didn't take $6000 plus offer you told me you recieved. Still a tad sceptical on the genetics on all these reduced black backed partial striper ect. out there. I mean no offence she is gorgous and I hope you make some beautiful pastels. you should hunt down a male reduced to maybe prove out a new line or something.

last i read up was: in order to make the reduced patterns, the black backs, or the striped pythons is through selective breeding. for example, you get 2 good black backs and breed them. from the offspring you pick up the ones that have more of a black back. raise them then breed them and so on and so on. as you breed the snakes they'll pick up on bits of the parents visual traits. it'll take a while but thus far that the only way to do it unless it's proven out such as the genetic striped ball python. right now there is no genetic black back or gebetic reduced pattern, or is there?

Do you REALLY think anyone offered $6K for that snake? I highly doubt it, and if someone did, they were just messing around, and obviously did not come through with the money.

I was intrested in the snake and emailed her when the snake was up for sale and she said the best offer thus far was $4600 not $6000, sorry I couldn't remember but she just emiled me and corrected me. she said ralph davis told her it was worth that much.

Hopefully the reduced is somewhat dominat and shows up in the 1st generation!!

I have a little girl very similar to her. I hope she is as beautiful as yours when she grows up

Very interesting project. My imagination is running wild, it'll be nice to see the actual outcome.
