Pinstripe surprise

Feebo · 02-26-10, 11:51 AM

I`ve wanted this little guy for ages and today, my wife and I thought we`d just go and buy him ! A very very nice surprise!

Here he is, I haven`t thought of a name for him yet. He`s got two lovely females to look forward to when he`s older, I wish I could have two ! lol

cheers shaun

Cheers

I`m so pleased with him

Yep, we`ll get a thousand grams or so on him and then see what he can do.... Actually, I`m not sure what he would produce mated with a normal female, can anyone tell me?

Pins and normals.

He is beautiful Feebo!

Sweet pin. Best of luck when he's big enough to breed.

Feebo · 02-26-10, 07:17 PM

Thanks guys

Ah right, pin stripes and normals, that`s cool, I just cannot wait to see what he can produce ! I`ll have to wait though lol a year or two I expect, unless males can be bred earlier than females which I suppose they could. I suppose the amount of Pinstripes in any given clutch is pot luck? Or is there an expected amount of them? If you catch my drift.....

I'm leaning toward het (for pin) normals but what do I know.

Very nice snake.

Feebo · 02-26-10, 07:58 PM

Mmmm.... We`ll see I suppose, they did think in the shop that i`d get some lookers

I`m just over the moon to have him

That`s two new fantastic snakes in as many weeks ! This one was even my wifes idea ! lol

Very nice snake.

The pinstripe mutation in ball pythons is a dominant gene. You won't get any hets from breeding him to a normal. You'll either get visuals (pinstripes) or normals. The usual chances are 50% for each egg, one way or the other.

Very cool.

I wasn't sure if it was a recessive or not.

Nice

I can`t wait to see some babies.....

i have limited knowledge of royals (ball pythons) but this might help.i dug it out a morph book i have.
chocolate pinstripe - pinstripe x chocolate
kingpin -pinstripe x lesser platinum
lemon blast - pinstripe x lemon pastel
pinstripe hypo's - pinstripe x hypo
spinner ball - pinstripe x spider
spinner blast - pinstripe x spider x pastel

pinstripe balls are considered dominant with no super form.

as said my knowledge is very limited but there are plenty successfull ball guys on this forum.i'm sure they can get into it on a much higher level with you mate.
