This looks to be similar to the Stardust Diamonds that are currently being worked on here in my neck of the woods by Don Patterson and Mickey of Pro Pythons.

I just checked the Stardust out and it does look like that.

Same morph with different names maybe?

Very nice Chuck mate

[EL Ziggy]

Uh, amazing!

Could be. I am going to try to get more information on it.

Those are Gregs animals. Reduced pattern Diamonds. He bought them from Josh Easter from Valle animals. They have shown up in a few keepers collections over the years. Gary Valle, Dan Vamillia, Josh Easter, Jan Eric and a few keepers in Australia.

Different and cool (IMO).

Those are pretty cool looking! :D

Very beautiful snake. I do not think it is hypo. There is not much reduction in the actual melanin in this animal. It does seem to have a lot of extra yellow pigments making it hyperxanthic? Awesome animal!

[smy_749]

reduced pattern, not hypo.

Greg M the Hoggie guy mate ?

No.....Greg Hiem. Works mostly with Diamonds. Nice animals for sure.

I don't believe its a mutation, just a colour phenotype that pops up from time to time, my Female has produced offspring like the ones above.

This is a Wild caught Diamond.

Hypo looks nice, but I still think a classic diamond is king

[millertime89]

Whatever it is or is being called it's gorgeous. Dang...

[marvelfreak]

I tried to get more information on it but he can't get a hold of the guy. To me it looks just like the Sartdust. I think the guy just tiring to make it seem like he discover a new morph when in true it been around a while.

[Derek Roddy]

There's really no other information other than they pop up in Diamond collections from time to time.

Josh Easter was the most recent person to "re-establish" the reduced animals in captivity here (Although Dan from Serpents on Line, Joe lewis and Gary valle have hatched em in the past as well)

Josh sold a reduced pattern to greg (Whom owns the animals picture by the OP) and he bred them last year and produced more in a simple recessive fashion.

Should start to see more of them in the future now that multiple people have them.

Cheers,

Here in Oz, diamonds like these are called high yellow, and highly sought after.
