Pet Den Paring of Ball Python
Blog
This is a pied female and a banana pied male. When these two snakes are bred together, they will produce offspring that carry the pied gene. The pied gene is responsible for the unique pattern and coloration seen in pied ball pythons. This combination is highly sought after by snake enthusiasts due to the striking and visually appealing appearance of pied ball pythons. The resulting offspring will inherit the pied gene from both parents, ensuring that they will also display the stunning pied pattern. By breeding ball pythons together we made a deliberate and strategic decision to produce high-quality pied ball pythons. The pied trait adds a touch of elegance and beauty to these already fascinating creatures.

Breeding pair female Enchi Butter het Hypo male Enchi Hypo
This breeding pair consisting of a female Enchi Butter het Hypo and the male is a Enchi Hypo. The female carries the genetic for Hypo and the male carries the genetic for both Enchi and Hypo. The Enchi Butter morph produces stunning patterns and colors, while the Hypo morph reduces the overall color of the snake. This pairing offers the potential to produce offspring with a combination of these desirable traits. The Enchi gene enhances the pattern and coloration of the snakes, resulting in visually appealing offspring. The Hypo gene further lightens the color, creating a beautiful contrast in the pattern. This is 2 of a hundred of ball pythons Pet Den is for breeding.

This paring is a female "Pastel Axanthic het Clown" and a male "Lesser Pastel Red Stripe Hypo Clown". This pairing should produce some one of a kind baby Ball Pythons!
What we look at when pairing Ball Pythons
First the female. Pastel: Enhances colors, creating brighter yellows and oranges, and can produce a blushing effect. Axanthic: Reduces or eliminates yellow pigmentation, resulting in a black and white or grayscale appearance, Het Clown: Carries the Clown gene but does not visually express it. Clown is a recessive morph known for creating distinctive patterns and reducing the dorsal stripe. Now the male. Lesser: Reduces black pigment, resulting in a lighter appearance with faded markings. Pastel: Enhances colors, creating brighter yellows and oranges. Red Stripe: Adds a distinctive stripe pattern along the dorsal area, often in a reddish or copper tone. Hypo: Reduces melanin production, resulting in a lighter overall appearance.
What we expect to be getting: Normal, Offspring may inherit none of the morphs from the parents and appear visually normal. Pastel: Some offspring may inherit the Pastel gene from one or both parents, resulting in enhanced colors and possibly a blushing effect. Lesser: Some offspring may inherit the Lesser gene from one or both parents, resulting in a lighter appearance with reduced black pigment. Red Stripe: Some offspring may inherit the Red Stripe gene from one or both parents, displaying the distinctive stripe pattern along the dorsal area. Axanthic: Some offspring may inherit the Axanthic gene from one or both parents, resulting in a black and white or grayscale appearance with reduced or eliminated yellow pigmentation. Hypo: Some offspring may inherit the Hypo gene from one or both parents, resulting in a lighter overall appearance. Clown: Offspring carrying the Clown gene from one or both parents may display the distinctive patterns associated with the Clown morph.
What we hope to get: There could be combinations of these morphs in the offspring, such as Pastel Lesser, Pastel Red Stripe, Axanthic Lesser, Axanthic Red Stripe, or something such as Super Pastel Lesser Red Stripe Clown double het Axanthic Clown. The presence of hidden genes and the potential for complex genetic interactions should also be considered when breeding ball pythons. Keeping detailed records of the parent snakes and their offspring will help you understand inheritance patterns and predict the outcomes of future breeding projects accurately.
This time we are breeding a female Pastel Axanthic het Clown with a male Lesser Pastel Red Stripe Hypo Clown which can result in a diverse range of offspring with various combinations of morphs. Let's break down the genetics of each parent morph and explore the potential outcomes of this breeding pairing
Breeding a Female Enchi Double het VPI Exanthic Ball Python to a Male True Ghost.Female: Enchi Double het VPIExanthic.Enchi:Enhances coloration and pattern, often resulting in bold, high-contrast markings.Double het VPI Axanthic Hepo: Carries genes for both VPI Axanthic (recessive) and Hypo (recessive) traits, without visibly displaying them. Male true Ghost:True Ghost: A morph combination involving Hypo (recessive) and Anerythristic (recessive) traits, resulting in lighter colors and a ghostly appearance.
We can get: Enchi True Ghost: Offspring carrying both the Enchi

and True Ghost traits. These ball pythons would likely exhibit enhanced coloration and pattern from the Enchi gene, along with the lighter colors characteristic of the True Ghost morph.Enchi Double Het VPI Axanthic Hypo: Offspring visually appearing as Enchi ball pythons but carrying the hidden genes for VPI Axanthic and Hypo traits. These snakes may not visibly display the traits themselves but can pass them on to their offspring.True Ghost Double Hets: Offspring visually appearing as True Ghost ball pythons but carrying the hidden genes for VPI Axanthic and Hypo traits.Each offspring in the clutch has the potential to inherit different combinations of genes from the parents,

Female-Black-Pastel-Hypo-Male-Mojave-Hypo
Breeding a Female Black Pastel Hypo with a Male Mojave Hypo can result in a variety of interesting offspring with combinations of the parents' traits. Let's break this down.
Black Pastel Hypo babies carrying the Black Pastel and Hypo genes would likely display reduced dark coloration due to Black Pastel and a lighter overall appearance due to Hypo.
The Mojave Hypo babies carrying the Mojave and Hypo genes would likely display lighter coloring, reduced pattern, and potentially increased contrast between colors.
Black Pastel Mojave Hypo babies inheriting all the traits from both parents. Babies would likely display a combination of reduced dark coloration (Black Pastel), lighter coloring and reduced pattern (Mojave), and a lighter overall appearance (Hypo).
Any Het combinations will not be visible and those genes will be pass on to future generations. And that will be another story.
When breeding HET`s to produce unusual color and patterns takes a lot of time and patients. If you hatch a baby today, it is likely you need 3 years before the Female is ready to breed and 1 ½ years to breed a Male. That`s if you have a baby you want to keep. So too start breeding today with babies to produce what you may want is around 4+years, if your hets pan out, if not your looking for twice that or longer. We have some projects that will take 10-12 years.

Female is a Yellowbelly and the Male is an Enchi Mojave Fire Leopard Yellowbelly
Let's break down the pairing:
Female Yellowbelly morph is characterized by a bright yellow or golden coloration on its belly, often accompanied by striping or speckling on its sides. It is a co-dominant morph, meaning that when paired with another morph, both traits are visibly expressed in the offspring. When bred with another morph, the Yellowbelly can produce a variety of visually striking combinations.
Male Enchi Mojave Fire Leopard Yellowbelly. Each of these morphs contributes its own unique appearance to the snake. The Enchi morph typically enhances color and pattern, often resulting in cleaner and brighter markings. The Mojave morph creates a visually distinct pattern with light-colored bands and dark blotches. The Fire morph intensifies colors, often resulting in vivid oranges and yellows. The Leopard morph produces a spotted or "leopard" pattern along the snake's back. When combined with the Yellowbelly morph, these traits can create visually stunning offspring with a wide range of colors and patterns.
