Piebald Black Pine Snakes

DVN Dec 09, 2003 05:31 PM

Hey fellow pit lovers!

I was very curious to know anyone and everyone's thoughts on the validity of Piebald black pines? I purchased a male piebald in 02 that is more or less a hypo piebald! The overall color is a light brown with a stark white belly and fazing white up into the sides of the snake and then a large white patch on the top of the head!! The female i purchased with him is supposedly a 66%het female for piebald! Only time will tell for sure!

Any history, stories, or other fellow pit lovers that own them or know people that own them is what I want to hear about!

Hopefully I can figure how to attach a pic of the piebalds

Thanks for your time
Dave

i know someone who has what appears to be pied black pines but his don't look like what you're describing. they are normal looking w/ only white patches on their sides, nowhere else.

I can only say this about piebaldism. In the early ninties I hatched out two piebald carpet pythons. They were along with a few others of this first clutch rather small and runtish. IMO they were defective and they were culled. No others were subsiquently produced from the same pair over years of breeding. I still attribute the "morph" at least in this case to egg stress but I still kick myself for my lack of vision!
