So I'm not one who really posts a lot of pics but I couldn't help it with some new ball pythons I bought from Mykee. He took the picture since they are still in his care for a few more weeks and well I suck with a camera.

Not a pinstripe Willow, it's a lemon blast (I think!;))

Wow. Very beautiful. Good score.

Yep, it's a lemon blast which is a pastel combined with a pastel. Very sweet snake for combos as well as the super pastel.

I meant it's a pastel combined with a pinstripe!

I know what you meant, lol, I was referring to you saying it was good for combos!

I know but I felt I needed to correct my brain fart.

Oh, I didn't even catch that!
I have a couple questions; not too sure if I will be able to word them right so please bare with me. I think it's kind of more breeder-aimed but anyone can answer:)
Spiders and pinstripes are very similar and they are both dominant, but pins have no wobble. I've talked to people who have replaced their breeder spider with pins, what is your opinion on that? I suppose a big part of that is personal preference with what morphs you want to breed for but do you think it's a good thing to get the 'wobble' out of your stock? Does spider wobble get passed down to say, a bumble bee? What about a 3 gene snake like a spin butter? I have also heard spiders are excellent feeders, is this a trait that seems to get passed down?

Siz, I am one of those breeders that is replacing all of his spider stock with pinstripe stock.
One; I think the pinstripe gene works WAAYYY better into ANY combo (lemon blasts blow away bumblebees any day of the week) and two; pins don't have a "neurological disorder".

Aaron, those are really cool looking animals man! That Mykee guy sure does produce some awesome looking ****. I can hardly wait for you to post some pics after they shed out for the first time.

Thanks. I totally agree, I think pins are wayy more appealing visually. My follow-up question was going to be which morph is better but I guess you already answered that :p
I am still curious about the wobble being passed down, what is your experience with that?

Ah ok. I am not familiar with that morph I guess. My bad. Still, gorgeous snakes. I love the ball python morphs- so much variety- so cool!

nice, wat morphs?

Jess, not sure; my original male didn't exhibit a single wobble in the 6 years I owned him, only three of his babies had it (he sired over 45 clutches in the time I had him). You'll have to ask that question to someone who owns a wobbler.

Ackinator, the one one on the left is a lemon blast (pinstripe x pastel) and the one on the right is a super pastel.
