I just wanted to post a few photos of a spot-nose ball since the name has been used for a variety of animals it seems. The name was coined when we first hatched babies from an imported male and it looked to be at least dominant. We have repeated the breedings several times and gotten similar results-roughly 1/2 of the clutch from a "spot-nose" to a normal is "spot-nose" and one half is normal. We have a few eggs incubating for the first time spot-nose to spotnose-so with great luck we will find out this first time if there is a "super spot-nose.

I love this spot-nose. It is a male we hatched last year. The pattern on the sides are very square, crammed together, and some times double one blotch on top of another. There is some great striping-

Nice Pics, I like the light pattern on his head and his spot-nose. Thanks Scott Glover

spot (no pun intended) a "real" spot nose. BTW, that albino male I got from you a few years back is a real breeding machine now.

a pic of a real spot-nose ball once in a while. Some of us just laugh at ads posted on the classifieds.

Nice animals Tracy, take care.

I know my babies don't have the kool light head but I am still wondering what they are. The mother is really light colored with a kool head pattern. The father was unknown(by me) but the guy I got the female from said it was a normal. Here is the mother. Thanks david
