Albino - High Contrast |
|||
Superb base morph with immense appeal for collectors and hobbyists. Used now in many combination morphs including Albino Pinstripes, Albino Pieds etc |
Simple Recessive mutation Morph Origin - Wild Found |
||
Single gene |
|
Albino - Black Pastel Pewter |
||
Wow, the albino gene combined with the Pewter combo works great! |
Recessive x Co Dom mutation Morph Origin - Designer Albino x Black Pastel x Pastel |
||
Treble genes |
Albino - Pinstripe |
|||
Again the albino gene into this combo works great! much prefer the albino pinstripe over the spider. |
Recessive x Co Dom mutation Morph Origin - Designer Albino x Pinstripe |
||
Double genes |
Bumble Bee |
|||
A firm favourite amongst collectors, the bumble bee is a simple double co-dom mutation but has great breeding power, producing Pastels, Spiders & Bumble bees when bred to normal females. |
Double Co-dom mutation Morph Origin - Designer Spider x Pastel |
||
Double genes |
We are really excited to be working with the Calico gene and the fact it's got pastel in is just a complete bonus. The Calico adds white to the sides of snakes and really works well in the few combos produced so far. |
Co-Dominant mutation Morph Origin - Designer Pastel x Calico |
||
Double genes |
Caramel Albino |
|||
Amazing variation on the albino genes. The caramel gene has so much to offer when used in combination morphs. |
Simple Recessive mutation Morph Origin - Wild Found |
||
Single gene |
Stunning morph that has yet to hit all the different combo potentials. |
Dominant - mutation Morph Origin - Wild Found |
||
Single gene |
|

The cinnamon gene has a great 'fading' effect when bred into other combos, breed TWO cinnamons together and produce the stunning patternless chocolate coloured ball python. |
Co-Dominant mutation Morph Origin - Wild Found |
||
Single gene |
A great looking snake but add even a basic pastel into the mix for amazing results! |
Simple Recessive mutation Morph Origin - Wild Found |
||
Single gene |
The Enchi was long over looked, especially in the USA but now people have realised whatever a Pastel can do and Enchi can do better! a must have base morph! |
Co-Dominant mutation Morph Origin - Wild Found |
||
Single gene |
A rather plain Jane morph that when added to other combos has amazing results, this is basically a ghosting type gene that can be used to lighten and brighten other morphs. Also, don't forget the super is also the Black eyed leucistic!! |
Co-dominant mutation Morph Origin - Wild Found |
||
Single gene |
The ghost gene is in our opinion the MOST important gene to have in your collection, it improves just about EVERY morph it is bred into. |
Simple Recessive mutation Morph Origin - Wild Found |
||
Single gene |
The ghost gene works amazingly well in this combo, the Ghost Mojave is probably one of my favourite 2 gene morphs! |
Recessive x Co-Dom mutation Morph Origin - Designer Mojave x Ghost |
||
Double genes |
Gorgeous combo result from two of the best base morphs you can keep! |
Co-dominant / Recessive Double mutation Morph Origin - Designer Ghost x Pastel |
||
Double genes |
Quite possibly the BEST spider combo produced so far, such a simple 2 gene mix that has just outstanding results. |
Recessive x Co-Dom mutation Morph Origin - Designer Spider x Ghost |
||
Double genes |
A beautiful recessive morph that has yet to be bred into many combos, we feel that there will be some mind blowing results in the future. |
Simple Recessive mutation Morph Origin - Wild Found |
||
Single gene |
The pastel gene adds some great colour into the g-stripe, I can't wait until we hit the super pastel g-stripe! |
Recessive x Co-Dom mutation Morph Origin - Designer Genetic Stripe x Pastel |
||
Double genes
|
Honey Bee aka Ghost Spider |
|||
Quite possibly the BEST spider combo produced so far, such a simple 2 gene mix that has just outstanding results. |

Beautiful white/yellowish snake with simple yellow faded line down it's back. This is the Super form of the Yellow Belly |

Wow, yet again the pastel gene really spices things up, the Ivory is great but the Pastel Ivory just glows and is super clean! |

||
Treble genes |
Leucistic (Mojave x Lesser) |
|||
A beautiful white snake with piecing blue eyes, stunning! |

The lesser gene is another wonderful gene, either on it's own or in combos. |
Co-Dominant mutation Morph Origin - Wild Found |

Yet again the Pastel gene has worked it's magic, proving just how vital that gene is...you can't have too many pastel females in your collection ;o) |
Co-Dominant mutation Morph Origin - Designer Pastel x Lesser |
||
Double genes |
Great base snake, Mojaves are beautiful in their own right but add to the fact that they make white snakes and you have a bonus! |
Co-Dominant mutation Morph Origin - Wild Found |
||
Single gene |
We have no idea on the genetics of this snake yet, it seems very green and lesser like in appearance, more breeding needs to be done before we can be sure. It does NOT have a recessive hypo gene in it but does appear hypo to some degree |
Co-Dominant mutation Morph Origin - Wild Found |
||
Single gene although not confirmed |
The ghost gene works amazingly well in this combo, the Ghost Mojave is probably one of my favourite 2 gene morphs! |
Recessive x Co-Dom mutation Morph Origin - Designer Mojave x Ghost |
||
Double genes |
Without doubtthe MOST important co-dom gene to have in your collection. The pastel gene is vital for some of the best combos so far produced, DO NOT under estimate the genetic value of these snakes just because of the low price tag! |
Co-Dominant mutation Morph Origin - Wild Found |
||
Single gene |
We are really excited to be working with the Calico gene and the fact it's got pastel in is just a complete bonus. The Calico adds white to the sides of snakes and really works well in the few combos produced so far. |

Pastel Puma (Amir Super Stripe) |
|||
A superb variation on the Super Stripe, this is from Amir's own 'spectre' line that appears to make a brighter superstripe and with the added bonus of Pastel it's a winner for sure! |
Co-Dominant mutation Morph Origin - Designer Pastel x Yellow Belly x Amir 'Spectre' |
||
Treble genes |
A beautiful combo showing the effect the cinnamon gene has. A great power snake producing Pastels, Cinnamons & Pewters when bred to even a normal. |

Pewter Albino |
|||
Wow, the albino gene combined with the Pewter combo works great! |
Recessive x Co Dom mutation Morph Origin - Designer Albino x Black Pastel x Pastel |
|

Everyone's favourite! It's the Pied that brings the biggest WOW to all new keepers and has held it's value more so than any other morph. The Pied is now being bred into other combos with some stunning results, there's a long way to go with the Pied gene! |
Simple Recessive mutation Morph Origin - Wild found |
||
Single gene |
A great combo, the pied gene turns the spider into a white snake with a spider morph head! WOW! |

Super Pastels are a vital 'super' to work with, they take away any doubt from predicting your projects and help to speed projects along by of course producing NOTHING but pastel genes when mated to anything else. |
Co-dominant mutation Morph Origin - Designer Pastel x Pastel |
||
Double genes |

|
||
More of a dinking project, the tiger banded is a great line bred snake that works great alongside the clown gene to offer really reduced patterned clowns. |
Line Bred Morph Origin - Wild Found |
||

A great gene that seems to unlock massive potential in other genes, with the bonus of the super being the Ivory |
