Some new little guys

I just produced another clutch of Bandeds this year from the same breeding I did 2 years ago. Years ago my banded male was one of my original breeders. I bred him to multiple females but his offspring did not look like him. They had a cleaner pattern but nothing like him. However, him bred back to his daughters produces awesome looking bandeds!

Here are some of his offspring that just hatched out. I have 2 more clutches in the incubators due to hatch in 3-4 weeks.

Out of 9 eggs 5.1 Bandeds and 2.1 normals hatched out. I'll still have to do more breedings to see how this is inherited, however, at this point I'd say their is a good chance it is recessive.

Here is my original banded male with one of his sons from 2002.

I'm open to suggestions on names for these guys.

Woaa Corey, those look cool. Kind of spider-ish, but with bigger bands. Wonder what they'd look like in Pastel or Ghost form?

Very very cool.

Tim_Cranwill · 07-19-04, 10:10 PM

Very cool! Nice, clean normals rock!

Great pics Corey, I wanna see them crossed with an albino. And I have just the male for you......

Clownfishie · 07-19-04, 11:03 PM

Corey, those snakes absolutely ROCK

I NEED one... but, I don't think I can afford one

LOL... And man, those things as an albino would be insane... I'm drooling just thinking about it... lol...

Congrats

very amazing corey, are you going to let any of them go?

NiagaraReptiles · 07-20-04, 05:21 AM

They are very cool Corey.........and definately recessive in my opinion.

Lots of fun stuff hatching at your place this year

Congrats,

very nice Corey!! Proving out some animals can take time, especially if they are recessive genetics! Good work!

As for names, I'm not sure if I can think of anything better than "recessive banded - Woods line".. very lame I know.. just do us a favor, and please try to avoid names like "Pastave" if you can ha!

ps: I agree with everybody, get those things bred to albinos, bound to be killer albinos (lot's of yellow!)

Keep us posted!

Bred to albinos, pastels.....bah! Those things are killer just the way they are! I love normal variations like bandeds and reduced.

Very nice and congrats corey.

COREY WOODS:

Amazing just amazing. I am still new to Ball Pythons and some names they have I can not understand why when they look so normal. Although my favorites are Albinos, Pied, Spiders and you can see the name fits the appearance, these banded are also added as my favorites now too.

I do love the patterns and the coppery colors are intense....screamers indeed.

What are prices on Banded Ball Pythons?

Cya...

Tony,

They will run from $5000-$6500 US each for males.

Thanks for the kind words everyone.

Awesome job Corey! As far as a name, how about "Tiger Woods" morph? Just kidding, I don't think TW needs anymore endorsements! But really, I thought most folks called them tiger-banded. Copper-Striped? Golden Tiger? I don't know. Good luck!
