these 2 snakes are both dinkers of mine. i picked the lighter one up from my local shop who gets unopened bags of ghana babies in. she is a very yellow girl. i cant catch her true colors. she has a stark white belly and just an odd busy pattern.

then i have who i call agent orange. he is the result of my friend lyn's(slytherlyn) het caramel x het caramel. he is ORANGE and stark black. tons of contrast. i have his sister from last year who looked identical as far as color and contrast. she still has the contrast but the orange has subdued a lot.
she has hatched out these orange guys 2 years in a row as well as others in the clutch that are not as orange. the father of these was used on a poss het this year and no orange babies popped out. so the orange has to come from the mom.
just want opinions on these 2, has anyone seen any balls this color before? ect ect ect
thanks

Very nice!

you know the drill...."prove it"..only way to tell...
breed brother to sister and see what happens...all you can do ....balls come in all colors...some are proven some are not...I've seen a male that was so chocolate he smelled like a Milky Way Bar...and it was proven not genetic...(not by me,but a bigger and better breeder in here)....agent orange...brings back many bad memmories maybe?...ask the Nam Vets...?...not sure if there are that many in here actually....

so...cool snake...hopefully you get a super form of a brighter ,lighter orange type snake...!.Good Luck...have fun....!

Hi Adam, here are some more pics....

First pic is your boy's paradox Caramel brother

Second pic is your boy the day he hatched

Third pic is your boy's half brother (same dad, different mom) who hatched out more "normal" colored, just to show the comparison.

I don't know if the high orange color on your boy could be an indication of him being het caramel or if his mom just tosses nice orange kids. His dad was originally hatched by NERD in 2002 and his mom was produced by Will Still in 2003. I'm pairing mom up with other morphs this year so will be interesting to see what she produces when paired to different males.

I hatched out an orange bp this year. I call it "the orange thing". Yours is much darker than mine, but here are some pictures of mine. I'm going to be doing the same breeding again this year.

yours has almost the same coloring as my enchi, just not the pattern. good luck to your project as well
