Check out this Borneo short-tailed python that hatched today.
I thought I knew what was going on in this lineage, but I don't. Every animal in the lineage is different. I'm not sure how many mutations are involved, but it's like the pattern is not nailed down. It's like breeding koi. I like every one of them so much that it's been hard to release any.
Some of the Borneos in this lineage are incredibly striped. Heck, there are three or four different kinds of stripes in this lineage. But look at this little trophy that just hatched today (he's fat with yolk.) This is an unexpected appearance of a Borneo, but--wow!--he's going to be a trophy when he grows up.
If any of you haven't seen the other baby that's pictured at the Breeders Bragging Post, he's from a different clutch, but the same lineage--check out his stripes. There's also some blood python pictures posted there.
