Are they het for anything or have you proven them genetic yet?

They are either dominant or co-dominant. Time will tell. I do have plans to breed them into other mutations - it just hasn't happened yet.

They look like Het Red Axanthics. Have you line bred any of them to see if there is a 'Super?' Great looking animals!

They do look similar to Corey's animals. I hope to test the super thing in a year or so.

And being shades of brown and tan...I wonder if your pastel x brown back project will produce pewters......wouldn't that be sweet!!!

Joe Compel Oct 23, 2004 03:51 PM

It will be interesting to see what happens when they are crossed with pastels. I do not think they are the same mutation as the cinnamons or black pastels but I think they may be capable of producing something "pewtery" when crossed with a pastel.
But then again...just when I think I have ball pythons figured out...things get turned upside down.
