Albino |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Type: Recessive
The one that started it all. Proven simple recessive in 1992 by Bob Clark, this color mutation is amelanistic and therefore lacks the ability to produce melanin(black pigment). This leaves a striking looking yellow and white animal with red eyes.

Albino Spider |
|
|
|
|
|
Type: Recessive x Dominate
The albino spider is a combination of a dominant and recessive gene. It expresses itself as a beautiful, pale yellow bodied snake decorated with irregular white stripes on its body. The snake has bright red eyes and a white belly and is a truly beautiful, highly desirable morph.

Axanthic |
|
|
|
|
|
Type: Recessive
A great looking animal that should mix well with others. Proven simple recessive in 1997 by Vida Precosa International, this color mutation lacks xanthrophores(yellow pigment). This leaves an animal that is made up of black and different shades of gray and silver. There are numerous lines of Axanthics out there including Snake Keeper, Joliff and VPI. We are working with the VPI line, the best looking line in our opinion. |

Blue Eyed Lucistic |
|
|

A leucistic animal with baby blue eyes. We produced this male using a mojave and a lesser platty. This male is one of the my favorite double co-dom animals. |

Bumble Bee |
|
|
|
|
|
Type: co-dom x dominate
The bumble bee is a spider x pastel. This was the first double morph we produces. I have several in my collection now and I never tire of the many combos possible with them. |

Caramel Albino |
|
|
|
|
|
Type: recessive
Carmel Albino is a color mutation that is recessive and produces a snake that is varying shades of yellow, brown, cream and lavender with red eyes.This mutation goes by many names such as T+ Albino, Xanthic or Caramel Albino. The T+ means that this morph has a functional tyrosinase (a copper containing enzyme) responsible for the production of melanin. |

Cinnamon |
|
|
|
|
|
Type:Co-dominant
This is a pattern and color mutation – Cinnamons are one of the most important foundation color and pattern mutations. Especially as the the super form is the patternless, all black Super Cinnamon |

|
|
Clown |
|
|
|
|
|
Type: Recessive
This mutation causes a reduced pattern with an insane dark, wide dorsal stripe and a very busy and aberrant head which many say is a bit comical looking. Consequently, according to VPI, the original first wild-caught, had a small dark marking beneath the eye, a little tear-shaped marking that reminded them of a clown tear, this gave the clown its name. In addition to its famed dark dorsal stripe, the pattern ranges from having “normal-like” markings to almost patternless. The colors of clowns are very crisp tans, with a copper-like tone, and basic browns. These colors tend to mellow out as they mature. |

Desert |
|
|
|
|
|
Type: Co-dom
The desert-ball is a clean looking mutation with brighter than normal yellows, a clear belly and faded head markings. At this time it there has not been a super produced yet.

Enchi |
|
|
|
|
|
Type: co-dom
Enchi Pastels have a bit of a misleading name, as they are not compatible with other Pastel lines. Enchis are a co dominant morph that were first proven by Lars Brandell in 2002. The Enchi name came from the region in Africa where the original animal was caught.

Fire |
|
|
|
|
|
Type: Co-dom
The fire ball is a subtle mutation that lightens the color of any morph combinations it's added to, like the firefly(pastel/fire).
The super form is a black-eyed-leucistic. |

Genetic Stripe |
|
|
|
|
|
Type: Recessive
Genetic Stripe is a wonderful Recessive base mutation. They are characterized by a bright yellow dorsal stripe that is bordered by black lines. There is not really a color difference from a wild type Ball Python, and therefore are considered a pattern mutation. These animals over the years have proven to display perfect unbroken stripe, to Stripes that don't even appear to resemble perfect stripes and everything in between. Some of them have clean, patternless sides, and some of them display pattern on the sides. |

Ghost (Hypo)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Type: Recessive
This color mutation has a reduced amount of melanin(black pigment), giving it a look of a normal ball python that is in an eternal shed. Many different hypo lines exist, including, yellow, orange, green, butterscotch, desert and burgundy. As far as I know all of the lines are compatible with the exception of the green line. |

Granite |
|
|
|
|
|
Type: co-dom
These are very pretty ball pythons. These snakes are patterned fairly normal, but where the "alien heads" would be the pattern is speckled and peppered with little black patches and flecks. It gives the ball python a whole new look. They also seem to have that plain rusty colored head thing going on like most aberrant ball pythons.

Ivory |
|
|
|
|
|
Type: super yellow belly
It is pretty self explanatory in it's description. An all white snake with a "dirty" head. They do have a faint yellow stripe on the dorsum that either stays light as they age, or almost disappears. They will also have some purple coloration around bordering the stripe in the aft part of the body.

Lesser Platinum
|
|
|
|
|
|
Type: co-dom
First produced by Ralph Davis, these animals were the direct offspring of the Platinum ball. Ralph termed them Lesser Platinums, because they resembled Platinums, but to a Lesser degree. They are characterized by almost a lack of black pigment that is replaced by shades of brown, a lack off or very reduced amount of alien eyes, and typically have allot of white blushing creeping up the sides from the belly. |

Mojave
|
|
|
|
|
|
Type: co-dom
A great looking morph that has proven to cross nicely with other morphs, and to produce the Blue eye Lucy. The Mojave have proven to have some mystery genes going on and mixing with a Mystic to produce an almost purple snake.

Pied
|
|
|
|
|
|
Type: recessive
Color and pattern mutation has spots of pattern sprinkled on a pure white background. The white is formed by a lack of chromatophores (skin cells that hold pigment) and spots of color that normally contain black dorsal stripes and some vibrant fire orange colors. The amount of white on these animals is variable from 1% to 95%, but never has been seen on the head. |
|

Pinstripe
|
|
|
|
|

Type: co-dom
This pattern mutation is known for the thin black "pinstripes" that border the bright yellow dorsal stripe. |

Shatter |
|
|
|
|
|
Type: co-dom
The actual shatter pattern name comes from a gray discoloration of a scale patch. Some scales are solid gray while others in the localized area are the base color with gray running through them, which gives the shattered appearance. |

Spider
|
|
|
|
|
|
Type: dominate
What an awesome mutation the Spider is, this has to be one of the best examples of "reduced patterning" in a ball python. Spiders are a dominant mutation,meaning there is no super form.

Spot Nose |
|
|
|
|
|
Type: co-dom
This mutation predominately affects the pattern, making for a very busy patterned animal, however, I find that most of them are a shade brighter than a wild type Ball Python. It is also know for a very aberrant head pattern. The original Spotnose received it's name from the gold spot on the tip of the nose, but as more and more of these animals are produced, it is not known if that is a definitive marker for the trait, as many have been produced without the spot.
