here is a link to a new ball python photo album we started. I think most of the het sentinel pics start at around pic 42. This is the first time even I have seen what just regular het sentinels(paintballs) look like as the only clutch I produced to date was last year from a sentinel female bred to a graphite ivory male.
The babies are very cool. The trait is subtle like a yellowbelly, but different. The color looks very nice and intense on the babies that have come out of the egg. There is a nice lavendar blushing and fantastic belly striping. Also seems to be some random black ink spots on the sides of the animal and neck/belly "rubble". I actually like the het sentinels better than the ob het sentinels we produced. Probably its just that I could finally see the trait by itself which like many of you, I have never seen until last night. I promised I would post pics, so follow the link and check them out.
I do think this is the same thing as the paintball. I named my animal sentinels when I got the first 3 in from africa. They looked very similar to an animal that ralph brought in that he called a matrix ball--(neo) which is why I opted for the sentinel name, another matrix reference. I hate doing the whole split name thing, but I really could just not get used to calling my animals paintballs after calling them sentinels for over a year even though they are probably the same thing. My babies were a little bit more "clown" colored as babies than of the pics I saw of charles babies, but the adults look almost identical in coloration so I imagine it is just a variation like any morph can have.

yes-the link has a bunch of pics of them? why do you ask?
Ben, I was asking if that was the picture you were trying to post. When I right clicked on the broken pictures you tried to post it had the same number but you left out a lot of he URL so it didn’t post in your message. LOL
