To see what we have available check our Inventory/Ball python section.

Albino

recessive colour mutation:

The first ball python mutation. T- Albinos are still a favourite.

 They have been mixed with multiple mutations to produce new albino designer morphs, these include: albino/spiders, albino/ pinstripes, albino/ghosts (sunglows), albino/ pastels, albino/pieds, etc.

Axanthic

recessive colour mutation:

Axanthics lack yellow pigmentation. As babies they are silver and black and look out of this world.

Axanthics are a base mutation required to make snows, axanthic / pastels, axanthic / spiders and true ghosts (hypo x axanthic).

We are working with the VPI line of axanthics.

Black-pastel

codominant colour & pattern mutation:

 Black-pastels are stunning animals with rich, deep velvety colours. Black-pastels are allelic to cinnamons.

 They are key to producing some of the best looking designer morphs like black-pastel pewters, silver-bullets and the homozygous or super phase, the patternless super black-pastel. The hypo /black-pastel is also one of our favourite ball python morphs.

We are currently working with the Ian G and Gulf Coast lines.

Butter ball

codominant colour mutation:

 Butters are like lessers with a more yellow paint job. The super form is a very clean blue-eyed lucy.

Butters are great for making clean, bright designer morphs like butter /pastels, hypo / butters, butter-bees (butter x spider), etc. No matter what you breed a butter to, the results are stunning.

Calico ball

 dominant pattern & colour mutation:

Calicos have white patches on their sides and produce very nice combo designer-morphs. Like most mutations they are highly variable in the amount of white pigmentation they display. We are working with a group of high-white individuals and will be mixing them into several other morphs.

Chocolate ball

codominant colour mutation:

Chocolate balls are one of the nicest mutations available. They are a blushed brown with floating aliens and a dark mottled belly.

The super-chocolate is just outstanding. They have been mixed with several other mutations to produce pastel / chocolates, super-chocolates, chocolate /pinstripes, chocolate-spinners and the best of all the super-chocolate / pastel.

We are working with our own Berry line of chocolates and aim to mix them in with several mutations in the future.

Cinnamon, Pewter & Sterling ball

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

Cinnamons are used to produce numerous other stunning multi gene designer morphs. These include Pewters (Pastel x Cinnamon), Hypo Cinnamons (Hypo/ Ghost x Cinnamon), Sterling Pastel (Cinnamon x Super Pastel), Albino Cinnamon, Pied Cinnamon. There are still many Cinnamon combinations which haven't been produced yet. We should see several of them for the first time this year as the more recessive x Cinnamon projects are hatched.

Enchi Pastel

codominant colour & pattern mutation:

Enchis have a velvet looking pattern that lends itself to mixing with our morphs.

The super, homozygous form is the super-enchi.

Fire (het black eyed leucistic)

dominant colour mutation:

 The fire ball is a subtle mutation that lightens the colour of any morph combinations it is added to, like the firefly(pastel/fire).

The super form is a black-eyed-leucistic.

Fires are also referred to as flame or co-dominant hypos by several breeders. There is still plenty of work to be done with new fire influenced morphs.

Honey Ball

Unproven recessive mutation  – Our Honey Ball has an orange-brownish head with almost no head stripe and a clearish belly. As a baby she was spectacular. This project is still in its infancy.

Update June 09: We bred our Honey Ball female to a Pewter male. No Honey Balls were produced. (We got 2 x Pewters,  2 x light Pastels and a normal). So we could have missed the odds, however its more likely she is a recessive mutation as all the offspring look like hets (they are lighter than normal and even the normal has morph marker hooks). So for now we are calling her an unproven recessive. We have also changed her name from a Honey Cinnamon to a straight Honey Ball (so as not to confuse her with a type of co-dom Cinnamon).

We have held back some offspring and will breed them back to hopefully figure this one out.

Mojave

codominant colour mutation - Mojaves have an almost ghostly look to them. They are highly variable with lots of blushing. When bred together the super form is an a blue eyed Leucistic with a purple wash. Breeding with a Lesser or a Russo  also produces a blue eyed Leucistic.

Other designer crosses include Granite Mojaves, Striped Mojaves, Hypo Mojaves, Yellow Belly Mojave and the Spider Mojave ... overall an excellent mutation on their own or to create designer morphs with.

Mystic

Mystics are McCain line phantoms. The super is the same as a super phantom. Bred to a Mojave they produce the mystic potions pictured.

Pastel & Super Pastel

Co-dominant colour mutation - Pastels are a basic colour mutation.  When added to almost any other mutation their reduced melanin and high yellow colour produces cleaner, brighter designer morphs.

Examples include Bumblebees (Pastel x Spider), Pewters (Pastel x Cinnamon or Black Pastel), Hypo Pastel (Ghost x Pastel), Lemon Blast (Pastel x Pinstripe), Pastaves (Pastel x Mojave), Pastel Vanillas, Pastel Fires, Pastel Butters, Pastel Lessers, etc.

The dominant form, the Super Pastel has an even more dramatic reduced melanin/high yellow look. When bred to a normal, a Super pastel produces a litter of all Pastels.

We are working with numerous lines of Pastel including our own imported Blond line and Lemon Pastels.

Pastel /special

Specials are heterozygous for super-special. They are also allelic to the Mojave gene and produce the crystal ball.

Savannah-pewter

Triple co-dom:

These are the first Savannah-pewters produced. They are a triple gene mutation carrying the Cinnamon, Mojave and Pastel genes all in one morph.

The interesting point is this pair can produce 35 different genetic combination in a single breeding ! All three mutations have a super form including the all white, Super Mojave and the all black, Super Cinnamon.

Sulfur mojave

The sulfur mutation is separate line of fire. The sulfur mojave is capable of producing both black-eyed and blue leucistics in the same litter.

Savannah

Double co-dom: The Savannah ball (Cinnamon / Mojave) is a double co-dom designer morph capable of producing both an all black snake (Super Cinnamon) and an all white snake (Super White).

Spider & Albino Spider

Dominant pattern mutation - Spiders are important pattern mutations and have been used to produce dozens of funky designer morphs, like Bumble Bees, Lesser Bees, Killer Bees and many others. (see our book, Designer Morphs for the complete list)

We are working with a nice group of Spiders, Albino Spiders and Hypo Spiders/ Honey Bees and other combinations.

Vanilla, Super Vanilla, Hypo Vanilla & Vanilla-bee

Co-dominant colour mutation - Vanilla Balls are a clean mutation with a hypo-ish, melanin reduction type of action. They can be used to clean up other morphs. In effect they are like co-dom hypos.

So far Vanillas have been mixed to produce Pastel, Mojave, Black Pastel, Yellow Belly, Bumble Bee  & Hypo Vanilla designer morphs. We are sure to see many new Vanilla designer mixes this year.

The dominant super version, the Super Vanilla (Lighting Ball), is an outstanding, clean yellow with a blushed out head pattern.

Woma

Co-dominant pattern mutation

Womas have a highly reduced pattern (some look like Spiders) and strong head markers. Womas are the key to produce numerous designer morphs. Our favourite Woma crosses are with Mojaves & Lessers.

There is a super form, however not many have been produced yet. There is some debate regarding some lines of Woma carrying another gene however results are inconclusive.

Yellow Belly/ het Ivory/ Ivory

Co-dominant colour mutation – Yellow Bellies are beautiful animals with rich yellow and black colours. The real beauty of this morph is seen when they are crossed with other morphs. The homozygous or super form is the leucistic Ivory Ball.

We consider Yellow Bellies one of the most important foundation morphs in a breeders arsenal. They are needed to produce the Super Striper, Ebony, Pastel Mojave or Pastave, Pastel YB (see photos below), Pastel Ivory, YB BumbleBee, YB Spider and potentially dozens more designer morphs.

As we see more proven double mutation morphs (that is morphs displaying multiple proven mutations) breeding and producing, the power of the Yellow Belly gene will be appreciated even more. I'm waiting to see what an Ivory Super Pastel or an Ivory Super Cinnamon will look like.

Yellow Belly Pastel

Double co-dom:  A Pastel with more genes under the hood. The double co-dominant gene set will produce multi mutation designer morphs quicker.

Yellow Belly Pastels are key to producing killer YB Bumble Bees and any other morph where you would use a regular Pastel. The Pastel Ivory is an outstanding example and adds another whole dimension (and set of colour) to the leucistic like Ivory.

Some of our interesting unproven females we are currently working with.

Unproven mutation –  outstanding yellow stripe and sides, very good lateral and head blushing and with a clear belly,all the markers that this is a new mutation.

We no longer own this snake, however we are still very attached to her, hence keeping her up here.
