Banana Ball
- Genetics: As of now I do not know if this is genetic. I believe it is co-dominant, but we will see.
- This guy came from a fellow in germany and that is why I call him a banana. He has a blotchy pattern and a very unique spot on the top of his head.
|

 |
- Genetics: Color and pattern mutation. The spider has no super so that is considered a dominant trait but the pastel has a super so the bumble bee is a co-dominant trait
- This was the first morph we produced in the ball pythons and it was a thrill. Out of that clutch we got two bees, two spiders, and two normal's. This was only the first of many wonderful moments that year, and each year after. Ball pythons are soooo much fun.

Piebald
- Genetics: Color and pattern mutation - Simple recessive.
- Definitely one of the most popular morphs in our collection. It is true, it was the second ball python morph I myself (Lynn) acquired. My husband (Ken) gave my a 99 red Corvette convertible. I loved the car but a friend produced a pied bald and it was so cool. He wanted my car and I wanted the snake. So a trade for the snake and money, that turned into more morphs in sued. Needless to say the next Corvette my husband built for me, he kept the title. This picture is one of the babies I produced in 06.

Colombian red-tailed Boa Bci
- We have several females we bread with the Salmon boas, and soon the motleys.
- The common colombian boa is a great starter snake. They are not reluctant feeders, and eat frozen thawed food willingly. They are peaceful animals and I have found they rarely bite and tolerate children handling them very well. I have taken then into schools for demonstrations with no trouble. (please watch your children when around snakes)

- The Jungle Boa is Co-dominant trait. That was started in Sweden.
- The Jungle is a color and pattern mutation, and that is why many people have a hard time distinguishing a jungle with a less aberrant pattern, from a pastel. Some Jungles have strong pattern aberrance, while some just have the color difference. This is where the confusion begins. The sure way to make sure you are getting the right gene is to make sure you are dealing with a reputable breeder that can trace the lineage to the true Jungle line. There is no confusion with the Super Jungle. The Super Jungle has a very distinct marking on the head, red eyes and toung. We have several different Jungles in our collection and have big plans for this gene.

- Colombian Motley Boa Constrictor
- Genetics: Color and pattern mutation - Co-dominate
- The Motley boa was first produced by Jeremy Stone in 1998. With a unique pattern and soft color and strip down its side. It was something I added immediately to my wish list.

They are both pos het for albino so we shall see what the future holds for me with these new boa.
